thermal and fluid sciences with strong designcontent and extensive laboratory experience. The first phase of the series starts with a two-semester class sequence that integrates Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics and Heat Transfer toprovide the theoretical background of the thermal engineering concepts with an emphasis onpractical design applications. Innovative project-oriented "just-in-time" delivery methodologyhas been implemented in the teaching of this class. Frequent introduction of real-worldapplications and hands-on experiments, which demonstrate the physical principles learned andemphasize the connectivity between heat transfer, fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, iscritical to the success of this integrated approach.

IntroductionThe Electrical Engineering Technology department at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstownhas offered a basic course in microprocessors since the fall term of 1985. The core course was Page 5.653.1focused around the popular 8-bit Intel series 8085 microprocessor. The laboratory, offered tosupplement the lectures, centered on the SDK-85 trainer. It featured a hexadecimal keypad foruser input, a six character LED display for output, and a prototyping area for assembling customcircuitry to interconnect to the I
meetings. By attending, I received exposure tomany of the latest concepts and techniques in engineering education. The most important of these seminars was a teleconference series on cooperative learning, aninstructional approach that involves students working in teams on structured learning tasks 2,3,4. Beforeattending this lecture, I had never given much thought to incorporating team learning into my course. Isuppose I was like many new instructors in that I patterned my own lesson plans on the class structure I hadexperienced as a student, namely a traditional lecture format. However, I was intrigued by the assertions ofDrs. Smith and Felder that team-based learning would increase student interest and retention, so I decided toexperiment

These issues were identifiedfrom the written comments that accompanied the course evaluation that took place at theconclusion of the course. The first major problem was the heterogeneity of thestudents. Students included full time undergraduate students, full time U.S. educatedgraduate students, full time foreign educated graduate students, and part time graduatestudents working full time. This mix was further exacerbated by the different academicbackgrounds represented within each of these groups. Almost all engineeringundergraduate backgrounds were represented as well as
