One reason for this issue is thecharacteristics of the thermal-fluid sciences. Using the sight sense is an important way for peopleto explore the world. People see lots of moving objects in their daily life, thus it is very easy forthem to understand the concept of velocity. In thermal-fluid sciences, there are lots of conceptsthat are not visible, such as pressure, heat transfer, internal energy, enthalpy etc. Since studentshave few daily life experiences to relate to, it is

It is here that thestudent is presented with a concrete problem to be solved, and they learn to apply the lessons ofthe classroom. The larger goal is to prepare the graduate to enter today’s engineering professionwith not only the proper problem-solving strategies and skills, but also to have gained experiencethat can be directly transferred to the needs of the contemporary career. This means exposure tothe latest technologies and an understanding of their concepts and applications.
