Anecdotal evidence indicates that followingtextbook readings and lectures, students generally express misconceptions about this topic. Addingactive learning to the classroom has been advocated amongst the best practices for highereducation, with physical in-class demonstrations being especially effective for engineeringeducation. The study explores the impact of adding a laboratory demonstration, centered oncreating an artificial inversion layer (with dry ice, smoke bombs, and bubble

A traditional engineering education will incorporate lectures, a fewproofs, a small number of hands on laboratories that relate to some of the topics being discussed,and are concluded with a capstone course that should serve as the culmination of all othercoursework and demonstrate the ability to follow the engineering design process. However, dueto the low number of retention (around 62 percent for all STEM majors1), and less than 5 percentof the nationally awarded degrees in engineering2, it is possible that the minimum engineeringcurriculum may not be enough to successfully graduate engineers.

Adeserved criticism from industry, where most students go after graduation, is that most universityengineering programs do not incorporate enough hands-on activities (experience) with actualequipment. This is referred to as “practical intelligence” [9]. U.S. undergraduate engineeringeducation has a heavy emphasis on theory with much less emphasis on practical applications[10].Wankat and Oreovicz write, “Despite almost universal agreement on the importance of designand laboratory work, there is a tendency to cut these programs since they are expensive, messy,hard to teach, time-consuming, and not connected to the university’s other mission – research”[11].
