It was customaryfor a lecturer to use a textbook during the lecture while the students took notes. The Malaysianstudents were typically more analytically oriented than their American counterparts. They couldeasily solve equations, but many of them lacked understanding of the underlying principle of theproblem. To use a “common sense” design was often challenging for them. They preferred tomemorize and repeat what they found in the textbook. Thus, they were excellent at memorizingthe equations. However, not all assignments were memorized. In my classes, I required

The urgency with which this “vigorous engagement” has to be pursuedin the area of technical education is apparent from remarks made by William Wulf, in hisPresidents Speech to the National Academy of Engineering in 2003, in which he concludes withthis advice: “Our society is dependent upon technology created by engineers. Engineering ischanging rapidly, and I believe engineering education has to change even faster for us tomaintain our quality of life. We’ve studied it to death. We know what to do.

Instructors spend considerable effort training students to use referencedatabases; traditionally in tabulated forms or more recently with use of computer-aidedreferences. The reliance on tables however, places undue emphasis on the property values overproperty relationships. Understanding thermodynamic relationships and the trends are of greatervalue from a student learning perspective than the numeric value of the properties.
