Theinterface allows users to call out temperature (T ) and pressure (p) explicitly by name or simplypass them in order like in a traditional function call.

can greatly improve students’understanding of thermodynamics by visualizing property relationships. As a highly visual andintuitive tool, property diagrams eliminate the time devoted to mastering steam tables. Afterteaching steam tables for multiple years within a year-long thermal-fluid sciences course andrecognizing the poor pedagogic utility, the steam tables were entirely replaced by thetemperature-entropy (T-s) diagram as the primary source for water thermodynamic properties.This paper discusses the implementation, challenges, and the outcomes of this introduction.Apart from developing instructions aligned solely to property diagrams, a number of visual toolswere identified, adopted, and developed to facilitate the transition.

No partial credit is given for problems with incorrect answer.The overall strategy is to simulate learning progression from educational environment toindustry/work setting. Although these modifications were initially greeted by students withapprehension, at the end of the course students recognized the benefits of this structured andrigorous approach and expressed very positive attitude towards the examination strategy.ResultsThe study was performed on the results collected during eight semesters (S’13 – F’16).

life cycle engineering has been developed based on this approach through a multi-university research project, entitled “Constructionism in Learning: Sustainable Life CycleEngineering (CooL:SLiCE).” The pedagogic significance of CooL:SLiCE is that it enables betterlearning within the sustainable engineering domain by utilizing effective learning modules forpersonalized environmentally responsible product design. The CooL:SLiCE platform provides aweb-based portal with three learning modules: 1) Visualization and online computer-aideddesign (CAD), 2) Sustainable product architecture and supplier selection (S-PASS), and 3)Manufacturing analysis. These modules were first piloted by a team of students from threeuniversities with different
