the adiabatic process, the students were asked if the heat, Q, wasgreater for process 1. Although the acceptable selection ranged from 40% to 56% percent, only11% gave an acceptable response based upon the first law of thermodynamics. This implies thatalthough the students could get the correct answer, they could not give an acceptable reasonabout why it was correct. This could be because they lack conceptual understanding of the firstlaw, but not necessarily procedural understanding. In addition, Loverude and others (2002) showthat students did not consider the first law of thermodynamics when given a problem that neededthe first law to be answered correctly.

the National ScienceFoundation (NSF), the UTeachEngineering faculty team from The University of Texas atAustin originally focused their efforts on preparing in-service teachers to teachengineering at the secondary education level. The teacher professional developmentconsisted of a 6-week summer intensive program to learn the basics of engineering andhow to apply those basics to hands-on engineering design challenges. In order to enablethe teachers to learn and experience engineering design, the instructional faculty devisedan engineering design process. Figure 1 illustrates this original engineering designprocess. Based on the classic “waterfall” approach to design, the process in Figure 1shows a series of steps cascading in sequence

According to arecent U.S. Department of Education report,1 over the last decade undergraduate degreesawarded in the fields of Engineering have dropped from 6.3 to 5.4 percent of the total degreesconferred in the country (p. 297). The numbers are easily misconstrued by the fact that the rawnumbers of engineering degrees have actually risen during the same time period. However, thisrise in number of degrees is due to the larger number of total degrees conferred.
