, 2017 Finding COP: A Project to Unify Topics in Fundamentals of Thermodynamics CourseAbstractIn a typical introduction to thermodynamics course, concepts such as the first law, propertyrelations, second law, etc. are usually taught in succession. To aid in further understanding theseconcepts, and to help solidifying the “point” of studying thermodynamics, a high-stake projectthat unifies some of the major topics is necessary. Such a project should be readily relatable toeveryday life, and yet should require a higher-level exploration of meanings.An example of such project has been successfully implemented in a basic thermodynamicscourse for a number of years. The goal is simply to find the coefficient

fundamental engineering course, students must use variouslearning strategies to persist in the program [22]. This study is part of an NSF grant that aims tosupport student engagement in undergraduate engineering education to be equitable andinclusive. Oftentimes, these engineering courses can provide roadblocks to students due to theirmotivation orientation, their beliefs in their ability to do well in the course, and the self-regulatedlearning (or lack thereof) utilized within the classroom. To address the external factors thatimpact SRL, the course instructor implemented multiple attempt testing (MAT). Multiple attempttesting allows for students to engage in metacognitive monitoring, reflect on their learning fromthe previous test, plan/practice
