The cup is filled with a measured amount of waterand the time it takes to heat from the known starting temperature to the onset of boiling ismeasured. The time from the onset of boiling to complete vaporization is also measured. Thesetwo times can be compared to the theoretical times based on the transient first law ofthermodynamics. This paper details a simple and inexpensive way to demonstrate the importance ofunderstanding transient boiling for engineering students. It also incorporates an analyticalmethod for helping the understanding of this phenomenon. This experiment was intended forstudent learning and not for

Before the broad adoption of the Internet, distance education was oftenimplemented through satellite feeds or through regular postal mailing of videos. The Internet hasenabled distance education to be both more efficient and effective 1-3. In engineering education,the adoption rate of effective online educational strategies has been lower than in otherdisciplines4. The importance of laboratory and hands-on experiments, as well as ABETaccreditation policies are likely to be part of the reason for this gap. But one part of engineeringeducation has increased much more rapidly online: the Master’s degree. Because the Master’sdegree is typically not accredited
