and kinetic energy in a simple mechanical system. Laboratoryexperiments help alleviate the difficulties in some cases, but even a lab-based introductorythermal science course in the Mechanical Engineering Technology department at PurdueUniversity does not consistently improve student understanding of the basic principles. Thispaper describes the development and implementation of simple open-ended projects, used inconjunction with the laboratory portion of the course, as a means for increased studentunderstanding. Project topics have ranged from proving basic equations to investigating morecomplex problems, such as the effect of window treatments on cooling requirements or thefeasibility of alternative energy sources.

By havingdirect exposure to the facility the secondary school teachers will have a betterunderstanding of the processes required to develop the fundamental circuits used inmodern technology. This would be transferred to the student at an early age and instill adesire to enter the fields of science and engineering.

The Fort Smith campus is responsible for the first two years ofthe degree and additional interactions with senior design students. In this arrangement,UAFS faculty members predominantly teach freshman and sophomore courses which canbring the trappings of monotony and deterioration of instructor’s cutting edge knowledge. Tohelp combat this issue, a sabbatical leave can be used to keep one’s knowledge up to date andbring new perspective to the classroom for both the instructor and
