Connections & Knowledge Transfer between Engineering Thermodynamics and Mathematics (WIP)AbstractIt is well-established that students have difficulty transferring knowledge and skills betweencourses in their undergraduate curriculum. In order to assess the ability of students to transfer ideasbetween their classes, the connections students make between integral calculus and other subjectswas tested in a thermodynamics class. In this pilot study, students were posed the classicalthermodynamics problem of boundary work, which requires the application of calculus skills tosolve.

Thegoal of this study is to establish effective strategies for the application of gamification in coursesthat appear early in the chemical engineering curriculum, supporting the retention of students inthe major and the graduation of chemical engineers. This was achieved through the developmentof a chemistry and chemical engineering focused dashboard that is integrated within an onlinelearning management system that includes gamification tools (i.e., leaderboard, badges, andrewards).We report the

a problem if the results are curricula that lack integrity and ultimately utility. For manyfields the key to this problem is the idea of experience. Additionally, there are two aspects to theissue of experience for many curricula. First is the idea that experience is important and necessaryas identified externally (beyond higher education) and the second is the idea that some knowledgemay not be gained without experience. The following discusses John Dewey and his work, createsa broad description of the concept of experience in higher education for the purpose of furtherilluminating the aforementioned problem, and provides an initial attempt at a framework forconsidering the use of experience in curriculum.Introduction In order to

To accomplish these goals HSTI has formed an interdisciplinary teamthat develops educational modules that integrate into the existing science and mathematicscurriculum. These HSTI modules are based on the merger of science and mathematics preceptswith technology derived from these disciplines.A key component in this initiative is the teacher who is responsible for the delivery andinterpretation of the curriculum.

It was determinedthat biology could be used as that third science course.
