Page 24.213.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Assessment of Fundamental Concepts in ThermodynamicsAbstractMany engineering students have difficulty explaining the fundamental concepts used to solvethermodynamics problems. For example, students may be able to solve problems by neglectingkinetic and potential energies, yet struggle to explain why this is justified
paradigm proposed here combines the advantages of laboratory teaching (e.g., hands-on experience) with an effective teaching of scientific methods and problem solving [1]. Ofcourse, a primary benefit of this method is that students play an active role in tackling ab-stract concepts, which have not been traditionally conducive to such participation. Further-more, these exercises result in an improved competency of the students in using spreadsheetsfor engineering purposes, thus preparing them better for their future professional endeav-ors. [1] The novelty of the proposed technique resides in its objective to illustrate abstractconcepts. This is a departure from prior efforts to use spreadsheets, CFD, or software toolssuch as Mathcad in the engineering
