teaching gas turbine based power engines to undergraduate studentsseem to be effective and engaging.In this course, I also use active learning method. In this teaching methodology, unlike traditionalmethods, students are not just passive listeners. Before each session, students are assigned asection of the textbook. They must read the assigned section and come to class prepared. In thebeginning of each class, there is a quiz related to the assigned reading. Then, there is discussionon the questions in the quiz. During this discussion, the concept related to the topic(s) of the dayis reviewed. Depending on the topic, there may be a numerical problem(s) that is attempted bythe students and instructor. Finally, the class is concluded by a quiz

Over this timeframe, three main components were created; Levels of Use (howindividuals interact with the innovation), Stages of Concern (the feelings of individuals), andInnovation Configurations (how the innovation is adapted to a particular setting). When used inconjunction, these components aid in assessing and guiding the adoption of innovations in aneducational setting7. Explaining the full complexity of CBAM is beyond the scope of this paperbut this body of research can be further explored in the included references 3,6,8,9

At this stage a fair amount of technicalassistance and background information is given, since many of the students have not worked onsubstantial program development or interfacing before.
