. In the construction industry, architects typically use two-dimensional plans and writtenspecifications to communicate what is to be built to construction managers. Thus, being able tounderstand plans and working drawings is a critical skill for all areas of construction. Studentsmust learn how to read plans throughout the CEM curriculum since strong visual-spatial abilityis required to understand details of the finished structure and perform construction work.Mental reconstruction of three-dimensional models from a set of drawings and specifications isnot an easy task for novices. As shown in Figure 1, there have been efforts at teaching studentshow to systematically relate multiple orthographic two-dimensional views to a correspondingthree

Whatis necessary to create a change, is, to have a comprehensive and integrated set of components:clearly articulated expectations, opportunities for faculty to learn about new pedagogies, and anequitable reward system.Introduction“To teach is to engage students in learning.” This quote, from Education for Judgment byChristenson et al, (1) captures the meaning of the art and practice of pedagogies of engagement.The theme advocated here is that student involvement is an essential aspect of meaningfullearning.

Given the importance of heat transfer, it is most troubling that recent research shows thatstudents have a limited understanding of heat transfer principles even after the completion of oneor more heat transfer courses1. Specifically, students have shown (i) a significant lack ofconceptual understanding of heat transfer principles, (ii) an inability to transfer knowledge tosubsequent courses and out-of-context problems, and (iii) an insufficient transformation fromnovice to “competent practitioner.” Despite completing several courses in thermal and transport sciences, a significantnumber of
