In reviewing these reports, students acquired knowledge of the steps required toperform an energy audit and insight into the possible energy consumers that may be observed ata facility, such as various types of lighting sources. A brief review of the former graduatestudent’s report was performed to assess if the material was understood by the students.With a basic knowledge gained on the process of conducting an energy audit, the students turnedtheir attention to familiarizing themselves with the equipment available to aid in the audit. Thestudents were shown the available equipment and suggested to make an inventory of thatequipment. The inventory of instruments was used to determine how many and what type ofinstruments were

The sequence of assignments designed in this studyprogressively advances students from solving single solution problems to more complex open-ended problems that more closely resemble the engineering design process. The followingwriting exercises were given to reinforce the course material through critical thinking andreflective thinking.Free writing – students were asked to write freely without a concern for sentence structure,grammar, logic

The Excel reference manual was listedas a reference for the course, but this has not provided students with useful personal resource.Other texts have been considered; most notably Elementary Chemical Engineering3.

Unlike PBL, where students work in small groups toexplore and develop a solution to a “real-world” problem under the guidance of afacilitator/instructor, projects in these courses are used as a supplement to traditional instruction.By requiring students to expand on course material to tackle a bigger problem, we (like PBL)hope to encourage students to take charge of their own learning.Something significant cannot be added without consideration of what should be deleted.

As our curriculum does not have specialization tracks, we expect our students to becompetent across all of these areas; however, we realize there are likely certain classes thatresonate more strongly with individual students compared to others. Furthermore, we recognizethat many of the classes we teach only begin to touch upon the breadth across a particular area,and we sometimes are required to focus on topical fundamentals at the

It is alsoa core course in other engineering curricula such as mechanical, civil, industrial, and systemsengineering, as well as in non-engineering programs such as physics, mathematics, and eco-nomics. Since this material is highly mathematical and abstract, unless su cient excitementand motivation is generated from examples, applications and intuition, students often be-come discouraged and lose interest.
