In this article, adesign for a heat transfer experiment is described with the above points in mind. The experimenttargets the thermal lumped system analysis, which is typically covered in the heat transfer courseundergraduate mechanical engineering students are required to take. The lumped systemanalysis allows determination of the transient response of a thermal system undergoing coolingor heating from a given starting temperature. The paper also assesses the attitudes of studentsand their reactions to the experiment.Design and Description of Experimental Set
%; data included in this study had a minimum of 55% and a maximum of 100%.For this study, we were interested in investigating the perception that an instructorteaching several sections of the same course in a given semester gets better as they presentthe material from one section to the next. With this in mind, we requested first-yearengineering faculty who teach several sections of the same course each semester to providespecific data from their TRACE evaluations. All classes considered in this study were first-year engineering courses with the same content. Both Full and Split Cornerstone sectionswere included in the data. Honors sections were removed and their data was not includedin this study because grades and other data were significant

B student.Additionally, exams should be written with ‘reality’ in mind. One goal of the problem solvingprocess is to help students develop intuition. If exams have ‘unrealistic’ values, then studentscannot do a sanity check on their answers to find mistakes, and they will not develop ameaningful engineering intuition.Modifications to the SMART Model for DynamicsAny modification to the SMART model should be done carefully and with an understanding ofthe synergies involved. It is important to implement the SMART approach in a holistic mannerconsistent with its key principles, though some details of the implementation may necessarilyvary from course to course. In the case of application to Dynamics, the goal was to change aslittle as possible
