American c Society for Engineering Education, 2020Work-In-Progress: Using Jupyter Notebooks to Climb Bloom’s Taxonomy in ThermodynamicsIntroductionTo be effective engineers in the 21st century, students need a holistic understanding of thechallenges that they face in a given project. This includes ethical, economic, social, andenvironmental aspects of a design, in addition to the technical aspects. Traditional engineeringeducation focuses primarily on the latter of these, usually leaving the other aspects to the laterstages of a student’s educational program

With the explosion of digital technologies in recent years,computer simulation and animation have drawn great interest as a tool to teach and learnDynamics. The concepts and problem-solving processes are presented in a dynamic environmentthat allows interactivity. Students can observe and interact with computer representations ofphysical phenomena, and develop deeper understanding of critical concepts.

Engineering components printed by 3-dimensional printers are employed asmechanical structures in an assembly. In order for the printed components to be useful forengineering applications, mechanical properties of printed parts must be known for structuraldesign. The properties provide answers to the strength of the material, the types of stresses acomponent can endure before failure, and the size of a component based on the loads itexperiences. 3D printed materials have recently been studied for their mechanical properties [4,5, 6].

2recent research argues that since the effects of some pollutants from the industrial era haveeffects that can last hundreds if not thousands of years, the number should be significantly larger(Boyle & Coates, 2005; Tonn, 2004). If this approach is taken, engineers must go beyond theproduct life cycle towards the “project” life cycle which also includes the process (e.g. thefactory and distribution techniques). The paradigm of the design process then must shift toexamine not only the original system, but also change of that and other systems over time (Boyle& Coates, 2005).While many categories could exist, sustainability is generally examined within the context ofenvironmental, economic and social realms.
