course went beyond the theory-focused and lecture-basedaspects of typical courses and gave students an opportunity to actively participate in the courseand engage themselves in active learning. Through the course, students gained experience inpreparing and giving lectures, fabrication and testing microfluidics, and prepared a conferencelevel paper. By incorporating project-based, student-centered learning practices, students gainedvaluable hands-on experiences that will be helpful for their future careers. Students’ self-reflections show that they perceived that they were more engaged and learned more in this coursethan in a traditional lecture-style course.AcknowledgementsWe appreciate Daigo Natsuhara, a visiting graduate student from Toyohashi

forEngineering and Technology (ABET) assessments revealed that the Civil and EnvironmentalEngineering department has room for improvement related to student outcome 2 (SO2).Specifically, improvements need to be made in the delivery, assessment and student learningoutcomes related to five key factors that influence engineering design: global, cultural, social,environmental and economic. Throughout the rest of this paper, these factors will be referred tocommonly as “design factors”. Through an evaluation of three years worth of ABET data, thedepartment determined that: (1) each professor is developing and implementing materialsseparately, (2) each professor is assessing proficiency with this student outcome differentlyleading to a concern with inter

In Class Boiling Demonstration to Illustrate the Transient (Time Dependent) First Law of Thermodynamics EquationAbstract Phase transition between a liquid and a vapor is extremely important in the study ofThermodynamics and systems engineering. This paper deals with one very inexpensive way tostudy transient boiling and to teach students about phase changes in fluids such as water. Bothsensible and latent heating can be demonstrated in this simple demonstration/experiment.Starting with an insulated (on the sides only) 3-inch copper pipe cap, a heating plate, water, ameasuring cup, a timer and a k-type thermocouple, a measured amount of water that is heated toboiling. The time it takes to go from a measured room

create a baseline by which to judge the morecomplex formats against a known, yet fairly basic, quiz-show type platform as is Kahoot! Sincemany of the students have experienced Kahoot!, the learning curve will be very small, and wewill be able to establish assessment norms by which we can evaluate further development. Whilethis paper explores the use of Kahoot!, ultimately, the aim is to develop a game based on studentoutcomes and through the use of feedback develop early intervention indicators, via the game,which may lead to higher retention rates.KeywordsComputer-based Instruction, Games, eLearning, Assessment, Electrical Circuits.

This promoted active participation among each class team as well ascollaboration with the pair teams of their Squads as they worked through the challenges of eachweek’s team assignments (deliverables).2.5. Data Collection Plan Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected to help the researchers evaluate theimpact of our Integrated Project teams using PBL. Conceptual understanding of Statics wasobtained through pre- and post- assessments beyond course assignments. Assessment questionsrequired the knowledge and application of engineering principles to solve problems.2.6 Data Analysis The limited quantitative data obtained from
