projectcreated for an introductory thermal sciences course that incorporates PBL and EML. Groupswere tasked with designing a natural gas power plant using the Rankine cycle and a renewableenergy portfolio, both of which were required to meet University of San Diego’s energy demands.Each group had to recommend and justify one of their energy plans to the university’s Board ofTrustees. The project was broken into five tasks, and a technical report was due at the semester’s end.In-class sessions were devoted to the project roll out, guided background research, and power plantdesign. Some assigned project work was aligned with lecture material (e.g., Rankine cycle) to replacethe traditional homework assignment associated with that topic.The project was

Is the design problem clear and are changes cleared with the contractors? b. Do team members have clearly allocated and documented roles & responsibilities, and accountability? c. Can you obtain the resources you need? d. Is the design choice feasible: physically possible, manufacturable, within the team’s technical reach? e.

These results suggest that,near the end of the course, students were more likely to set study goals for themselves.IntroductionSelf-regulated learning refers to how students control their own learning [1], [2]. Pintrichdescribes a framework for self-regulated learning based on four areas of regulation (cognition,motivation, behavior, and context) and four phases of regulation (planning, monitoring, control,and reflection) [3]. The planning phase includes setting goals and planning time and effort. Goalsetting has been shown to increase academic performance [4]. Monitoring

EngineeringAbstractHistorically, the senior design sequence in chemical engineering has differed from that ofother engineering disciplines due in large part to problems of scale: a team of mechanicalengineers can reasonably design and produce a prototype stapler, for example, but it isbeyond most schools’ capabilities to have the chemical engineers both design and“produce” a petrochemical plant. Therefore chemical engineering design has focusedprimarily on the “paper” aspects of design, encompassing unit operations, economics,planning, and process simulation. This approach unfortunately misses out on somepotentially important lessons that can be learned from actual process implementation,such as the need for process flexibility and the challenges of controlling a system

The biggest hurdle faced by the committee was reaching a common understanding ofwhat engineering is and is not. The committee agreed that engineering is not the same asmathematics or science, not applied mathematics and science, and not technology.
