During this phase, I used the followingquestions to guide my thought process. • Why is this open textbook project important? • What features are essential and are of pedagogical significance? • What resources are required for this project in terms of time commitment, funding, and team support? • What open platforms will be used to host the book? • How to maintain the book in the post-publication stage?As of 2019-2020, there were limited OER on thermodynamics [8-10] and on relevantengineering subjects in general.

In all cases there is engineering work required to make the desired changes, integratethe product with additional features, or setup the infrastructure to pilot new experiences.These product innovations are accompanied by an evaluation plan to measure the causal effect ofthe changes or new features on the outcomes of interest.

Preparation: People take small steps to move toward change, which could include but are not limited to activities like (a) attending a learning session about change opportunities or (b) developing skills that could help with change. 4. Action: People actively engage in change. 5. Maintenance: People put in effort to maintain the changes that they have made. 6.

Aiming at the issue of cultivating the scientific researchliteracy of college students, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology proposed the“Undergraduate Research Opportunities Program” in 1969 first. To address the uncreative ofundergraduates, the “Berkeley University Model” divides the undergraduate scientificresearch training program into two parts, including “The Undergraduate Research ApprenticeProgram” established by the university and proposing a project plan by the studentsthemselves. There are two main modes of knowledge application in engineering education;one is a mode based on academic research training; the other is a problem-solving-oriented,interdisciplinary research mode [1].

This is a constant issue for most engineers becauseprofitability often depends on more frequent purchases, such that engineered obsolescence isa powerful tool, yet one that is costly for the consumer and very damaging to theenvironment. There are several different ways companies introduce planned obsolescence intheir products [9]. They may use inferior materials in key components

In fact, four TPP students indicated that they had matriculated toWPI because of the TPP. With these data, we see that the students who end up doing the TPP arequite committed to teaching. Because many of our TPP students plan to wait before becoming teachers in the classroom, itwas important to understand why. They were asked in the interview what they wanted to learnfirst before
