Physical models are widely used by designers and their use is promoted as aneffective design tool by industry and government agencies. However, very little is known aboutthe cognitive effects of physical models in the design process. The available guidelines areconflicting. Some researchers argue for the frequent implementation of physical models; othersobserve

Change was driven, inpart, by the introduction of “interactive learning,” an educational mode which actively involvesstudents in thinking and doing2-4 . The traditional three-credits per course standard was replaced,for the most part, by four-credit courses to reduce the number of classes students take eachsemester, although the total credit hours required for graduation were decreased by only threepercent. In Mechanical Engineering, the curriculum has been changed to emphasize the two majorstems: thermal/fluid systems and mechanical systems5 . This has necessitated a

Discussion5.1 SL Comparison to Conventional Teaching MethodsA fundamental tenet of many engineering educators is that students learn by reflecting on theirphysical experiences and by linking and contextualizing theoretical to practical knowledge [9].Fundamental engineering concepts such as energy, momentum, and torque are frequently used inengineering education and practice. However, a large body of research in physics learning showsthat students have difficulty connecting abstract concepts to their experiential understanding[10]. For
