Introductory ThermodynamicsAbstractThis paper describes a laboratory component for a sophomore level introductoryengineering thermodynamics course. The class is core component of the EngineeringScience curriculum at Borough of Manhattan Community College. The introduction of thelab is part of a greater curricular modification to invigorate engineering education atBMCC by integrating real world situations and active-learning based instructions intoclassroom. Thermodynamics is an abstract subject. Many students lack first handexperience with the subject matter. They resort to memorization rather than gaininganalytical understanding of concepts. The Lab component is designed to create anopportunity for students to accumulate

In addition, the introductorymaterial is insufficient to directly build workforce skills and does not capitalize on students’ fullability to learn. Even more important, basic knowledge programs do not necessarily inspirestudents toward solving real-world challenges with an electronics solution nor create a passionfor an electronics career.

Second, it wasexpected that the teachers participating in the RET experience would become role models byapplying their research experiences in their classrooms and with colleagues. Third, the teachers’new skills would enable 7th to 12th grade students to directly link their standards-based educationto events and issues occurring within their community and encourage them to become effectivecitizens in a technology-driven society.

Another common factor is the integration of experiential learning withformal academic subjects so that students can use real-world projects to reinforce learning withpractice.1,3,5,15,16Some have noted that a drawback of such experiences is that they can exist in isolation, from thestudents’ perspective, from other parts of an undergraduate’s educational experience. Moreover,even when students may complete elective or minor subjects in disciplines outside of their majordiscipline, they often see their coursework as disconnected subjects both from one another and,more importantly, from their major learning experience.
