future.In response to these needs, the California Regional Consortium for Engineering Advances inTechnological Education (CREATE) proposed the development of international learningexchanges to provide a cohort of renewable energy faculty with relevant international exposurein their discipline. As a result, the National Science Foundation’s Advanced TechnologicalEducation program funded two CREATE learning exchanges. Participants were charged withlearning how their international peers had met similar challenges in terms of teaching renewableenergy technicians, with expanding their knowledge of the global renewable energy sector, andwith sharing the results of their study. Fourteen nationally recognized educators from across theU.S. were selected to

Before the conclusion of the first game, most students were able to grasp the overalllesson and contribute to the advancement of the team’s objectives.Although in general the students had a grasp of the topic from lecture, as in any new assignment,students are often initially hesitant. Groups would at first labor over the initial placement ofcards. As the game evolved, they were able to make quicker and more informed decisions. Oftenthey had to reconcile their initial moves with the changing board, making decisions later in thegame to create new parallel or series combinations and offset earlier errors.

Additionally, implementing the Think-Pair-Sharemethod in thermodynamics was made even easier by the development of the AIChE ConceptWarehouse,19 which has hundreds of concept questions that instructors can use for free.The driving motivation for this study is the comment from Bishop and Verleger that states, "Wesuggest that in

The central task of education is taken to be the extension of the components of this equivalence, both on the cultural level as reflected in the discovery of new truth, and on the individual level, as reflected in the enculturation of individuals into civilization’s accumulated knowledge and ways of knowing” [12].
