IntroductionSo how do you like to learn a new concept? Read a textbook and/or journal article on thesubject? Maybe throw in some type of experiment with technology to simulate the theory? Felderpoints out that in most areas we as faculty learn differently than how students learn best.1 Ourmission is to assist students with varying learning styles to learn new concepts. So how dostudents like to learn? How do they learn best? Considering the 1990 Seymour and Hewitt2 studythat shows 40 percent of engineering undergrads switch from science, mathematics, andengineering disciplines due primarily to poor

It is here that thestudent is presented with a concrete problem to be solved, and they learn to apply the lessons ofthe classroom. The larger goal is to prepare the graduate to enter today’s engineering professionwith not only the proper problem-solving strategies and skills, but also to have gained experiencethat can be directly transferred to the needs of the contemporary career. This means exposure tothe latest technologies and an understanding of their concepts and applications. Perhaps the most significant aspect of engineering practice in the last decades has beenthe impact of computer technology in practically every

for an ideal fluid, which implies that the sum of potential, pressure andkinetic energy remain constant.INTRODUCTIONMany Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) students at Penn State Erie tend to strugglewith some of the basic concepts in thermal-fluid science courses. One reason for this issue is thecharacteristics of the thermal-fluid sciences. Using the sight sense is an important way for peopleto explore the world. People see lots of moving objects in their daily life, thus it is very easy forthem to understand the concept of velocity. In thermal-fluid sciences, there are lots of conceptsthat are not visible, such as pressure, heat transfer, internal energy, enthalpy etc. Since studentshave few daily life experiences to relate to, it is

While HBCUs onlycomprise three percent of post-secondary institutions in the United States, they enroll a highpercentage of minority students [1, 2], and are often criticized for having low graduation rates,especially for low-income students [3]. To combat this concern, a public historically black land-grant university in the southeastern region of the United States was awarded the National ScienceFoundation (NSF) Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
