Complex ideas displayed in everyday things we can relate to. >The thing I like most about the course is that there are so many outside resources that the professor gives us to understand the material. She also has a lot of office hours, and the TA is very helpful. >I like how the instructor is so energetic and enthusiastic in class. The new WileyPlus assigments that we have are pretty neat, definitely since we get a link to the references in the textbook. I like how the topics in this course relate to chemistry as well as the mechanical engineering side of the world of engineering in general. I

, manystudents quickly find themselves so far behind in the reading that they can no longer catch up. A reading log system where content responsibility is progressively shifted from theinstructor’s questions to student identification and reflection has been developed andimplemented in junior-level Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics courses to address several ofthe issues associated with student use of the textbook. The goal of the reading log is to improvestudent use of resource material and to provide opportunities for students to develop skills inreading scientific material. Reflective questioning, guided identification of key concepts,probing questions and cyclic problems are some of the tools that are used to stimulate student useof the
