economy. Users, leveraging the improvements in computerand communications technology, are increasingly empowered to be engaged in new products andservices. Moreover, innovating users often freely share their innovations and engage incollaborative creation, that has led to the emergence of user-innovation communities. Eric vonHippel describes the emerging system of user-centered innovation and the reasons for usersdeveloping new products and services for themselves. He also describes when and why it paysusers to reveal their innovations for the use of others. Example of democratizing innovation andcollaborative creation can be the open-source software movement, but it is not limited tosoftware only. For example, he discusses cases of surgical

Once it is collected it is automatically transferred from the production facility toGVSU via the Internet for use in a statistical process control course. The data is updatedon a daily basis and is continuously available to students for analysis purposes. Thispaper describes the experiences of the authors and their students with this approach overa period of two years. The authors will discuss how student projects were utilizedthroughout the semester and how a plant tour (at the beginning of the semester) was setup and leveraged throughout the course.Good data is a critical need of an applied

thermodynamics was used as a complement in a traditional course inengineering thermodynamics, in order to widen the view of thermodynamics outside the“engineering” area. Engineering thermodynamics is a fundamental subject that covers boththeoretical and applied aspects that both are of utmost importance for future engineers. From acourse/education perspective, the fundamental laws of engineering thermodynamics aretraditionally applied solely on processes and systems interesting from a technological orengineering perspective. It is of utmost important for the students, however, to understand thatthe fundamental laws are applicable to any process and any system, for example the humanbody as in this project.Earlier research has shown both that there is
