2022 ASEE Midwest Section Conference Make Students Confident in Thermodynamics: The Project Based Learning Methodology Yang-Seon Kim and Keren Tshimanga Wichita State University, KS, USAAbstractThe traditional teaching method, lecture-based learning, is currently changing to a model focusingon student-centered learning, such as problem-based or project-based learning (PBL). Typically,thermodynamics courses are taught by lecture-oriented methodology, and the course introducesmany new concepts, laws, definitions, and variables. Unlike concepts in other engineering courses,these concepts are not easy to visualize, tangible, or tactile senses in

First-generation students have been found tohave an achievement gap, possibly due to social isolation and a lack of cultural capital. Creatingproject groups that maintain connection and

Overall, K-12STEM education has had a long history of tracking and creating inequities in supporting youth toprepare for post-secondary opportunities (Calabrese Barton & Yang, 2001). As STEM universityeducators, we often assume this failure of students means they are individually not college-ready(Warter-Perez et al., 2022). Interventions have been created and engaged with at various levels.Still, despite the hard work of implementation, these efforts have not resulted in dramaticimprovements to STEM educational ecosystems or student engagement.
