Furthermore, the quality and clarity ofhandouts and lecture presentation have greatly improved with the widespread use of wordprocessors or presentation software such as the highly popular Power Point viewgraphs.Nevertheless, the passiveness of students inherent to the simple TV screen watching continues tobe an important educational challenge.In Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer courses, particularly, problem-solving throughapplication of concepts and principles assures effective learning.

@uconn.eduIntroductionIt is generally recognized that computer-based (or computer-enhanced) problem solving (CBPS)can be a very important or possibly the most important application of the computer inengineering education and practice. However, the penetration of CBPS in the variousengineering disciplines has been disappointingly slow and of limited extent. (Kantor and Edgar2,Jones3) The mistaken premise that one software package is appropriate for all problem solving ispossibly one of the major impediments to CBPS. There are selected engineering courses wherethe computer is used as a sophisticated calculator that can solve differential and implicitalgebraic equations and also perform regressions on experimental data. In other cases, thegraphical and the database
