Furthermore, Thermodynamics suffers from the same problem that plaguesmany engineering disciplines: students must not only understand the core concepts and processeswithin the discipline, but also master the mathematical tools required to solve numericalproblems.

For a detailed descriptionof ME 413 and ME 680 refer to Bailey et al., 2004 [1]. After successfully completing AdvancedThermodynamics, students can choose to continue the study of classical thermodynamics byselecting a capstone design experience which incorporates advanced thermodynamics principlesas discussed in George et al, 2006 [2].

At the first school I was a tutor, and really enjoyed that. Since I‟m studying engineering, I just don‟t want to be a teacher in high school, and didn‟t understand how to become a professor.

In addition to mastering an effective strategy forteaching students to solve problems[4, 5], faculty must coach them in applying their problemsolving skills to different areas in which they, both faculty and students, may be unfamiliar [6].Engineering educators have been challenged with the need to include interdisciplinary learningin the undergraduate curriculum[7].

No matter how results are presented in theliterature, faculty adopting instructional practices with the expectation of experiencing resultssimilar to those reported should be aware of the practical limitations of educational studies. Ingeneral., educational studies tell us what worked, on average, for the populations examined andlearning theories suggest why this might be so. However, claiming that faculty who adopt aspecific method will experience similar results in their own classrooms is simply not possible.Even if faculty members master the new instructional method, they can not control all othervariables that affect learning. There are conditions where a teacher may
