– Year 1Overview and Objectives:Thermodynamics is a difficult subject for chemical and biological engineering students tomaster. One reason for the difficulty is the diverse and challenging set of threshold concepts thatthey must coherently synthesize and be able to apply in a diverse range of contexts. Based on ourexperience and from reports in the literature, we have identified a set of threshold concepts wepropose are critical for mastery of thermodynamics. The goal of this TUES project is to developa corresponding set of Interactive Virtual Laboratories to help students identify and learn thesethreshold concepts. The intent of this project is not to develop a comprehensive list of all thethreshold concepts needed to master thermodynamics

For students, mastering computer programming can be challenging, and thelearning experience can be even more difficult if done in an online environment.This paper introduces the audience to the format of an online computer programming coursedeveloped to teach first year engineering students how to solve engineering problems usingMatlab. The course involves the use of online videos, the implementation of group projects, andthe continuous assessment of learning through homework and reading comprehension activities.The course promoted student-instructor interactions through the implementation of a blog andthe participation of students in the online chat room.This paper discusses the format of the course, student participation

Students appreciatethe autonomy they are given to freely select a topic to research and present what they havelearned to the class. They also appreciate the freedom to decide how best to teach others, whetherthat is through a presentation slide, a skit, song, demonstration, or some other means. Whencharged with teaching their peers, students’ feel an innate responsibility to become “masters” oftheir chosen topic. Consequently, they spend more time and effort researching and learning abouttheir topic than they might have otherwise for a

In this sense, thisturned out to be an important exercise in reminding the students that they are expected to applywhat they’ve learned.A second interesting observation occurred when some students decided to “improve” theexperiment by increasing the current in the electrolytic tank by adding salt. Unfortunately, thechoice of using direct current to simplify the conceptual link between measurement and theorymade the system behavior extremely sensitive to this change. As a result of this change, thevoltage decreased linearly with radius rather than logarithmically

The reactiveapproach is used as a vehicle to solve problems, with the focus on the performance of personneland the results of the organization. The training is often applied in an effort to correct problems.The proactive approach involves training as a continuous improvement process.

Due to its popularity, it can’t always bescheduled when needed, which was true for the design class that semester.

At the same time, because of economic factorsand other issues that are well documented in debates related to the proposed ASCE policy465, engineering schools must educate future practicing engineers generally throughtraditional four-year bachelors and perhaps one to two year masters degree programs.Obviously something must be taken out from the existing curriculum to make room fornew courses that are designed in response to new challenges facing the engineering
