question #35 is much more difficult than question #34, butits percentage of correct answer is higher (53.8%). We believe that the cause lies at thecorrelation among the questions #32-34, because all of them are on the same P-V diagram shownin Fig. 2 (b). More specifically, they are on work (#32), internal energy (#33), and heat transfer(#34). The details of the test result are the following: five students (32, 33, 34), twostudents (32, 33, 34), three students (32, 33, 34). These ten students might haveapplied the first law of thermodynamics in answering question #34. If they made one mistake ineither question #32 or question #33, they would select a wrong answer in question #34. On theother hand, the remaining three students did not pay

good. An alternative approach is to develop courses for upper-level non-engineering students based on technical subjects that (a) are interesting and educational to thestudents, (b) do not rely on large amounts of prerequisite knowledge and mathematical skills, and(c) are taught by regular engineering faculty. Such courses can then be offered as electivecourses to students in non-engineering disciplines. These courses would offer students in otherdisciplines the opportunity to learn about technical subjects of current importance from engineerswith expertise in these areas, but without expecting mathematical rigor for which they may notbe prepared.In this paper, the author describes his experiences with preparing and teaching a seminar courseto
