motivation and learning can be achieved by making the students moreactive and in charge of their learning, which for example can be stimulated by involvement in“hands-on” activities like experiments and laboratory work 2. A project focusing on humanbody thermodynamics was developed as a complement to the traditional content of classicalengineering thermodynamics. The underlying idea was to exploit the general interest inhealth, food, fare and workout shared by many students, thus making the subject moreinteresting while at the same time extending the course to a wider arena. The project was usedin engineering thermodynamics courses for 4 different engineering programs at LinköpingUniversity, Sweden.During the project, the students worked in groups

engineering lecture courses are taughtusing a traditional method i.e. only with the support of a blackboard or transparencies. The majordisadvantages of traditional teaching methods are that students usually have to choose betweentaking notes and listening to the lecturer. As a result, most of the learning in traditional teachingis individual, since the students in the classrooms are taking notes or listening instead ofparticipating2. Consequently, many students in conventional classrooms develop little confidencein their own ability to learn3. Demonstrations that illustrate concepts with visual aids are one of the important tools in thefield of engineering education. They help students connect theory with practice; they realize howtheory and

There is significant variation amonginstitutions–with some reporting course-completion rates of more than 80 percent and othersfinding that fewer than 50 percent of distance-education students finish their courses.

It usually introduces students to important continuous and discrete time system conceptsand develops and applies Laplace, Fourier and z-transforms. These courses usually do not have laboratories orhands-on activity associated with them. However, these courses are very important because they provide thefoundation for important areas of electrical engineering including circuits, systems, communications, control andsignal processing. Unfortunately, many students do not recognize the relevance of the material at this point in their careersand have difficulty because it appears to be "only math and theory.” The resulting low motivation often

In the laboratory, studentsfailed to use techniques to reduce experimental error when necessary. Data were often notreported correctly to reflect uncertainty in measurement, and simple statistical techniques wererarely used to analyze error.A variety of methods for the introduction of error analysis to lower level engineering studentshave been described by other educators. Sterrett and Helgeson2 used parametric computersimulations to introduce error analysis to sophomores in a design course. Reardon3 introduceslinear regression and propagation of error analysis
