The North American Die CastingAssociation has placed numerous animations with text and audio support on the web(http://www.diecasting.org/faq/) to illustrate and explain how different casting processes work.Of course, what actually occurs internally in the casting process cannot be viewed, so theanimation of the process can be very powerful. Traditional forms of illustration, including stillphotographs, video have been used to show casting processes externally, but cannot show theinternal operations.

variety of STEM courses [3]. As engineering educators havestrived to incorporate more active learning pedagogies in the classroom, concept maps haveemerged as a valuable learning tool [4]. They fall under the umbrella of constructivist pedagogywhereby students create their own meaning of course concepts [5]. In Mechanical Engineeringcurricula, effective use of concept maps has been demonstrated in Mechanics, Thermodynamics,and Design courses [2,5]. These studies have reported that concept maps can help increaseconceptual understanding.This paper describes an active approach to using concept maps in an undergraduate HeatTransfer course. Over the course of the semester, students were asked to create two conceptmaps: one for thermal conduction and
