Theproposed courseware can help engineering students to better understand basicthermodynamic principles, problem-solving approaches, as well as improving them thecapability in solving analytical problems. Because of the advantages and efficiency of thedeveloped courseware, it can be applied in thermodynamic education. Meanwhile, thispaper also verifies that development and application of instructional courseware are simplebut effective tools in enhancing teaching quality. References1. H.

Some topics, such as mechanics and energy, were not coveredin great detail, but were presented in an introductory fashion appropriate to the engineeringprofession and to future engineering courses. (Such topics were not covered on exams.) Othertopics--such as graphing, significant digits, units and unit conversions, and material balance--were emphasized heavily in the lectures and in sample problems, and therefore were covered onthe exams. The teaching of these topics also included homework problems that were assignedfrom the text and collected and graded. During the last few weeks of the semester, students werealso assigned a team project that required the application of many aspects of the topics

Manyfactors influence persistence, including both individual (demographics, prior academicperformance, self-efficacy) and institutional (teaching quality, faculty-student relationships,academic support services, financial support, and opportunities for professional development)[1,2,3]. While some of these factors cannot be changed (e.g., sex, parental income status,race/ethnicity, first-generation college student), others can be influenced. The research identifies

In this paper, a look is taken at the evolution of power electronics programs and theirexisting place within the general curriculum. Results of surveys show that over 100 suchprograms exist, varying in depth from just a course or two to well-funded sequences includinggraduate courses and cutting-edge research.

While writing a master’s thesis is often an optionrather than a requirement, virtually all doctoral students write a preliminary document anddissertation.However, writing is only part of the communications skill set graduate engineering students needto be successful.

How can we teachethics to our engineering or technology students? This paper will explore different methods andtools that can be implemented and then assessed in trying to teach ethics to students. One of themain points is that students must be taught at lower levels or at the beginning of their universityexperience. Tools and methods that will be covered are: student handbooks – publicity andexpectations, actions and consequences, ties to professional occupations, use of

This courseintroduces discrete event simulation methods with emphasis on application in manufacturingsystems or service systems. The topic of queueing theory in operations research is used to illustratethe importance of simulation as a problem-solving tool. Concepts and techniques of simulationmodeling are covered. It also requires statistical concepts and techniques to obtain representativedata, to apply the data and statistics to the modeling, and evaluate the results. To help the courselearning, term projects are usually assigned to the students. The authors have been teaching thiscourse
