Comparison of the Behavior of Specific Internal Energy an Enthalpy in the Compressed Liquid RegionThe behavior of the internal energy and enthalpy of water, ammonia, methane, and propane inthe compressed liquid region are examined in this section. The examination includes thecomparison of the behavior of these properties along isotherms and isentropic lines forsubcritical temperatures and pressures ranging from saturation to five times critical pressures.The results provide valuable insight to initiate a more accurate approximation of internal energyand enthalpy in the compressed liquid region.The current approximation of internal energy and enthalpy along isotherms are achieved throughthe

theseoriginated as far back as the 13th century5. However, their use has seemed to explode recentlywith a much larger number of publications appearing in the literature. Even just since 1997,there have been 500 peer-reviewed articles that have investigated their use, according to a briefsurvey of Journal Citation Index.Novak6 proposed the concept map as a way of created a knowledge network that contains pointsand verticies as concepts and links between them as the relationships among concepts. Kinchinand Cabot point out that there have now been 25 years of extended research and development ofusing concept maps to help students learn how to learn7. Essentially, concept maps are two-dimensional representations of a set of concepts and their relationships8

Some of the more successfuland well known workshops supported by educational research are Richard Felder’sworkshops (12 hits) and the ASCE ExCEEd Teaching Workshop (135 hits).

In this way both disciplines paycareful attention to the kinds of metaphors used to describe both queerness and disability. Beingcritical of discourses about diversity and inclusion, as well as descriptive language of queer anddisability opens new possibilities for access. McRuer further argues that we must resistconceptions of disability as tolerance that merely reinforces able bodied heterosexual privilege,and instead conceive of meaningful access for both queer and disabled people.Within ASEE there has been far more research on disability than queer or LGBT topics.Searching ASEE proceedings for “disability” turns up over 800

implemented a techniquethat monitors the computer programming process rather than merely the final product. Thisallows instructors to determine what the students intended to do, especially their initial attempts.Grading the entire process forces students to take each phase seriously. This includes theplanning and design phases, steps often skipped by students.Many instructors have explored the use of self-evaluation in assessing the students. Greene andJalkio5 discuss asking students to create portfolios where they assess their progress toward thecourse objectives. In 82% of the cases, the student assessment was within a half-letter grade ofthe instructor's assessment. Ellis and Mitchell3 use self-grading for a software engineeringcourse. A related
