engineering.Teaching in the programs are mainly carried out as lectures, lessons, and laboratory sessions. In atypical engineering course, 30−40% of the education is carried out as lectures, 30−40% aslessons and 20−40% as laboratory experiments. In addition, case studies and project works areused in about half of the courses. Some projects are small (down to 15% of the course workload)and some may make up the whole course.In the present study, two courses are of interest. One is a course in Engineering thermodynamicswhich both the ME, DPD and IEM students take; the ME students as the very first course of theprogram, and the PDP and IEM students at the middle of the second year. The other is a bachelor(capstone) project course that the IEM students take as

The senior capstone course is divided into two quarters the first one beingthe design phase and the second one being the build. The students are divided into groups of 5 to6 with each group having a different project. What made this group noteworthy is that the scopeof their project went beyond just design and fabrication: They had to prepare a laboratory-styleexperiment to obtain useful data. The students were then required to assess the data in thecontext of ground source heat pump technology. The testing and analysis made this a unique,research-based project which set it apart from many other capstone projects. Students obtainedexposure in both academic and

In the future, the course will be offered in aclassroom that is more conducive to group exercises. A classroom configured for groupexercises (such as a laboratory setting) [2] should inform student expectations regarding classactivities.Conclusions and Future WorkThe data from this preliminary study do not yield a firm conclusion about the effectiveness of theguided-inquiry active learning system.

In the pre-existing paradigm, teachersintroduce the theory of a new concept prior to running an experiment or discussing contextualapplications of the theory. The physics laboratory objective is solely to verify or support thepresented theory. Teachers then encourage students to extrapolate implementation contextsthrough discussions that follow the lab experiment. The focus of the student lab report is ontheory, procedures, data collection and applying that data to the theoretical equations. Reportconclusions recount how well the experiment matched
