AB  - This paper describes an effort to introduce display models and animations in thermodynamics course to improve student learning. Thermodynamics is a fundamental mechanical engineering course that leads to advance topics in engineering like heat transfer and energy systems. Students enrolled in thermodynamics course are either sophomores or juniors who lack knowledge in correlating theoretical concepts to thermodynamic applications like pascals law, engines, heat exchangers, moving boundaries, nozzles, diffusers, air conditioners etc. Hence, thermodynamics course is redesigned to incorporate new low-stake and high-stake assessments. The course instructor made efforts to improve student learning through active learning approach in a face-to-face class in three different ways: Using display models, integrated interactive app to increase student interaction in class and engage students in the subject, additional study videos were provided to help students understand thermodynamic tables. In an online course, efforts were made to improve student’s understanding of the course material in two different ways: explain thermodynamic applications using animations and provide study guidance using structured homework’s and graphic organizer. The effectiveness of these new teaching strategies was assessed using test scores and student feedback. The test results were compared with test results from traditional teaching class taught by the same instructor (author) from previous semester. Student feedback on new teaching methods were collected and satisfactory results were achieved. According to the course instructor, this study can help other instructors who use traditional teaching methods improve their student performance and increase student interactions in their courses.
