Experiential learning is termed as theprocess, whereby the knowledge is created through the transformation of experience [18][19][10].Experiential gaming models are also proposed in the literature, where gaming and experientialeducation principles are integrated. One of the early works proposed an experiential gaming modelwhich was based on integration of experiential learning theory, flow theory and game design [20]In this study, we focus on developing a serious game that can be used as part of classroom

Again, it is a nice way to synthesize and integrate the topics covered in a standard heat transfer curriculum while using “real-world” problems as a vehicle.IX. ConclusionsPerhaps the best indicator of success of any such instructional program is the enthusiasm andextent with which the material taught is applied throughout other aspects of the curriculum.From the authors’ experience, it is “just in time teaching,” since there are routinely numerousinstances whereby the FDM has been put to practical use in the capstone sequence at USAFA.Student feedback indicates that the

However, lot more remains to be done toward fully realizing UR potential andengaging larger number of students in such activities. While CSI has shown a fairly steadygrowth, we are far from realizing participation of students from every academic department. Itis our belief that the most critical need in institutionalizing UR at any institution is toproactively engage faculty in the discussion on how to integrate research into the curriculum.A number of fine examples of integrating research in the curriculum can be found in March2006 CUR Quarterly.

This means that the fundamentalinteraction of temporal constraints on the business are often only captured in detailedrequirements or, even worse, only in code.James Allen [2] defines a non-primitive relationship “in” which allows one interval bewholly within another interval. The “in” relationship would be an even more appropriaterelationship than the “during” relationship to be used for our examples. The “during”relationship was used because it is a primitive relationship and the introduction of non-primitive
