This major assignment introduces the students to a practical andcurrent problem that they can tackle somehow intuitively rather than by a direct application offormulas as presented by Cengel4. The only requirement for a solution is the use of some sort ofcomputer programming, a spreadsheet, Mathematica, or MathCad®, and the thermodynamic

However, the students from all the programs face variousdegree of challenges in mastering Circuit Theory as research shows. Ideally, students learnvarious techniques to solve circuit problems; it is especially important that they develop thecapability to decide which technique will be more efficient or appropriate for a given circuit. Thestudy focuses on how to support student success in the course by creating an archive ofvideotaped problem-solving demonstrations. In addition to instructors’ solutions in the lectures,student-developed problem-solving demonstration videos are

For example, at present programs in U.S are falling short in attracting andretaining those who should form the vanguard of the next generation of engineers. According tosome sources, the enrollment in engineering programs is decreasing. The present educationalsystem was generally developed in the 1950s and was suitable for that time5. But today’s first-year engineering students were not even born when this occurred. Today, engineering programsshould be conducted on a global scale with industrial practice activities heavily required alongwith team work projects. Unfortunately, however

. • Starting the unit operations early in the curriculum21. The equipment is already in the laboratory, so why not use it within the material and energy balance course? This allows for introduction of measurement, application of conservation laws, and an introduction of the fundamentals of design. Any time students can apply knowledge to a real task, they will learn better. • Incorporating programming with templates22. Programming is an effective way of teaching students numerical methods. The problem with programming is that it often has significant overhead (input/output, user interface, etc.) that has nothing to do with the objectives of an assignment. Using templates, or “almost finished
