industry drives an increasingly diverse populationin terms of majors, interests, and experiences towards introductory and advanced courses (Foster, et al., 2018;Erdil, et al., 2019). A thoughtfully-designed survey course can balance the needs of various subgroups andrealize the potential to influence students’ attitudes and beliefs, develop career intentions, and teach coreconcepts.A first-year integrated college curriculum has been a common practice across many engineering and sciencedisciplines for years (Cordes, et al., 1997; Bazylak & Wild, 2007). In these approaches for common curriculumdesign, all those first-year students admitted to programs of study in engineering, technology, applied sciencesand other related fields are offered

Taxonomy [3], [4], which identifies six levels oflearning. From lowest to highest these are: 1. Remember 2. Comprehend 3. Apply 4. Analyze5. Synthesize 6. EvaluateAchieving analysis, synthesis, and evaluation requires active participation from the students.Research shows that student outcomes are improved by engaging in active learning [5], [6]. Thisincludes not only higher grades in courses, but also greater “mastery of higher- versus lower-levelcognitive skills” [6].The present work describes the application of active learning of holistic engineering practice in asophomore-level thermodynamics course sequence.
