Furthermore, as the industrial landscapecontinues to rapidly advance with increasing penetration of automation and big data analysis,students will need to graduate ready to utilize modern tools in their engineering practice. Inmechanical engineering courses, computer-based assignments have significant potential toincrease experiential learning for students. For instance, in thermodynamics, instead of a studentanalyzing a Brayton cycle at a fixed set of conditions to generate one set of values for the poweroutput and efficiency, they can repeat the analysis
