One student put it this way, “After a summer oftraining, I feel confident entering my high school and I am looking forward to my firstteaching experience.” This perception was explored through several questions on the surveyand in the interviews. When the question was put as a simple up-or-down vote eleven of thetwelve Fellows felt that the training program had helped them plan for the upcoming year.A major issue for the Fellows was the need for greater practice at applying many of thethings that they learned during training session.

In the past, educationalsoftware has been created for use as teaching aids, design tools, and even electronic textbooks.Where this project differs is in its emphasis on integration into the existing thermodynamicscurriculum while simultaneously allowing improvement in teaching methods. Factorsinfluencing the improvement of any course include a clear determination of course objectivesand evaluative procedures. Comparison of the teaching and learning styles is another factor.Research shows that traditional teaching methods for thermodynamics leave gaps in theeducational landscape.

One such change hasbeen an increasing use of simulation environments based on but not limited to Matlab[1],LabVIEW[4], Excel macros[5], Javascript[6, 7], GeoGebra[2, 3] etc. in classrooms and laboratories toaid active-learning. Active learning has been widely associated with enhancement of studentlearning, however, in order to achieve full potential of active learning tools, it is very importantthat the tools be freely available, well-structured, and intuitive.

, gaining significant traction in the K-12 system is standards-based grading. With standards-based grading, grading is based upon “measuring students’proficiency on well-defined course objectives.” [1] Instead of arbitrary grading scales, studentsare assessed multiple times regarding their performance on course outcomes. By doing this,there is an increase in student engagement and a more thorough comprehension of coursematerials. [2] Standards Based grading focuses on the specific, relevant skills a student shouldlearn and helps instructors to assess how well students are learning and tailor their teaching tomeet areas of concern. [3] By measuring these goals, students continue to learn. By usingrubrics to articulate these goals, students can use
