misconceptions. As a result, students’conceptual understanding was enhanced, and their exam grades were improved accordingly.Using smart devices in the class could be distracting, but can be alleviated by asking students touse the smart devices only during the poll question time, and put the smart devices away afterfinishing the poll responses. Overall it is beneficial to integrate the system into engineering classes to enhance classinteraction and participation. However, good implementation can be time consuming, as studentsand instructors need time to adjust to the new technology, there are the technological glitcheswith the system and network access, the login system may be inconvenient, and questions needto be designed cautiously to prevent

-choiceconceptual question to the class. Students answer individually at first and next are shown a ―poll‖of the class responses. They then form groups and discuss the problem with peers, and finallyanswer again individually. Peer instruction encourages students to reflect on the problem andthink through the arguments being developed and put them into their own words. Just asimportantly, it provides both student and instructor with feedback regarding studentunderstanding of the concept.This study uses the Web-based Interactive Science and Engineering (WISE) Learning Tool as aplatform to investigate the effectiveness of Peer Instruction on the explicit understanding ofundergraduate students in chemical engineering thermodynamics.
