I feel the concept of this class is practical and applicable to common situations that I will encounter in my career path.” As observed from the data, students consistently reported as understanding the conceptsfrom ‘somewhat’ to ‘a lot’ on the scale. This is also true of the students reporting of theintegration of learning

Summative Heat Transfer Project: Designing a House Charles E. Baukal, Jr. Oral Roberts UniversityAbstractProject- and problem-based learning have been shown to enhance learning and to provide otherbenefits such as improving soft skills including teamwork and communication. They can beespecially effective for engineering students to demonstrate how theory is applied to real worldproblems. While comprehensive projects are an essential element in capstone courses, they arenot used as often in traditional more theory-based courses such as heat transfer. This paperdescribes an example of a summative and ill-structured project to design a house
