. Previousstudies have shown that hands-on laboratories can improve academic performance and increasestudent success by allowing them to experience the theoretical content in real-world examples.However, hands-on assignments come with various challenges, including the availability ofspace and equipment, instructor creativity to design experiments, and student capacity for classenrollment. This paper will present new ideas for developing assignments that keep studentsinterested in learning and can evolve with new technologies. By incorporating innovative andrelevant topics and using modern technologies, we can create more engaging and interactiveassignments that improve student learning outcomes.Methodology:Engineering Thermodynamics is a core course

While Flash-labs may not be acomplete replacement for a full laboratory class component, it does appear that they helpstudents relate to and internalize core fundamental concepts within the compressed time frameand are eager to collaborate with each other.
