A project course on “thermal engineering projects,” offered in the second semester of the junior year, is taught jointly by the professors who taught the thermal science courses and serves as the cornerstone project course for all the thermo-fluid concepts the students have been taught in the previous semester.7. The senior-year courses are reserved for the typical capstone design course and two required courses on nuclear energy and alternative energy sources. These and technical elective courses, including a recommended course on entrepreneurship, form the bulk of the senior year curriculum.8. Technical elective courses are planned to be offered with

As important as it is forstudents to meet the stated criteria, it is difficult to evaluate students’ critical thinkingwhen only seeing the end result of the process. Critical thinking is a reflective process; toassess it, we must “get inside the student’s head”. Students must self report what theirthought processes were and that must be done in the narrative form - either orally or inwriting. For convenience and assessment documentation purposes, having students writea reflective

The design process is itself a complex cognitive process [9] and requiresstudents to undertake deep approaches to learning [10].Chemical engineering design experiences allow students to apply the design process to produceuseful and profitable products to society. However, these experiences are traditionally offeredduring the senior year to meet their Capstone Design Project requirement. Some of the coursesthat may include design experiences are, for example, Process Design, Process and Plant Design,Product Design, and Process Design and Economics [1]. This leaves first-year, sophomore, andjunior students without enough experiences to develop a chemical engineering mindset (attitude)while practicing in "actual" engineering work. Chemical

The initial valueobtained by the algorithm was not accurate because it did not take into account the fact that therange of an object beyond the camera’s focal point is non-linear in appearance, and to the non-linearity of the camera lens, thus the range
