The student is then asked to synthesize this material in unitoperations and then the capstone design course. However, the majority of graduates are hired asProcess Engineers whose main focus is on production. Topics such as statistical process control,process capability and capability indices are essential to manufacture quality products at reducedcosts.1 In fact, upon accepting their first job offer, most entry level engineers, enroll in in-housestatistics related courses such as Practical Data Analysis, Statistical Process
was highly dependent on how precisely onecould read the applicable charts. In addition, solution of problems requiring several stages ofiteration, made the process extremely tedious. Many of the current heat transfer textbooks8-15include formulas that can effectively replace some charts used in the heat transfer analysis ofheat exchangers. These formulas could be employed in computer software programs to improvethe accuracy of analysis and ease the solution of problems requiring repeated use of heatexchanger charts.Currently many publishing companies provide computer software with heat transfer textbooks.8-15 Most commonly used software tools in heat transfer courses are Interactive Heat Transfer(IHT)16 and Engineering Equation Solver (EES

-level engineers when encountering electromagnetics material. Thispreliminary study focuses on electrostatics content in a junior level electromagnetism course inan Electrical Engineering (EE) program. Students find electromagnetism to be one of the mostdifficult courses in the upper-level EE curriculum. Electromagnetics is difficult for students tolearn due to the required competency with vector calculus. Topics are especially challenging toteach without tangible applications [3].The authors created an active learning environment within a junior-level Electromagneticscourse by utilizing in-class tutorials with an electronic response system. The intent was toincrease student’s ability and confidence in performing vector calculus required to

A first-year engineering course was transitioned online halfway throughthe semester and the students were asked to reflect on the experience. An NLP program was usedand compared to an instructor’s codes to identify common categories that were discussed by thestudents [8].
