Often, the various components are not integrated well,and students may not see the relationships between technology and history. On the other hand,non-engineering students very rarely take engineering courses, and thus may graduate with verylimited understanding of engineering and technology and their roles in society.At Cleveland State University, a course entitled ESC 200 Engineering History and Heritage hasbeen developed to allow students to investigate the development of technology in civil,mechanical, chemical, and electrical

It should be pointed out that in this class, in addition to thePPR media and in-class sessions, the students also worked homework problems, took quizzes and exams,and carried out a computational-based project. So a lot of hands-on problem-solving took place. But the“passive” nature of these technologies brings up an important question: what is the most effective way for Page 25.1412.3students to learn to work heat transfer problems or other engineering problems?
