The primary goal of these efforts are generally to improve studentunderstanding, confidence, performance, and retention. These programs have proven to belargely successful in achieving the desired ends and are often very popular with the student body;however, it has also been found that a significant portion of students (~20% or more) may stillstruggle when leaving these freshman environments and entering the more traditionalengineering courses later in their curriculum 2, 5. This may be especially true for courses centeredon the thermal sciences such as thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics, the coreconcepts of which have been

We found that some gamification elements that are often thought to be motivatingfor participants had little to no effect on our course, while elements that specifically targetedmaking the student’s standing in the course more transparent were the most effective.1. IntroductionGamification is becoming an increasingly popular methodology for improving motivation andinterest in many domains [1]. Gamification involves the application of game mechanics to taskstypically considered to be void of fun. In the classroom, this often materializes as a set ofmechanics meant to motivate students to learn more effectively. For

During the first half of eachday, students participated in problem-based learning (PBL) engineering activities and seminars given byvarious faculty members, with the second half of the day typically spent in different labs around thecampus. The following sections describe in more detail the different elements of the two week program. Academic ContentDuring PBL activities, students worked in small groups, facilitated by different members of theinstruction team, to solve open-ended engineering problems. The problems were designed to addresscontent identified by faculty and students as important for success in subsequent graduate coursework(e.g., programming, heat transfer, solving linear
