Flowing your way through equations: Putting the decisions in the hands of the students Laura J. Genik, Craig W. Somerton University of Portland / Michigan State UniversityAbstractIn the teaching of thermodynamics and heat transfer, there are two subjectmatters that baffle and bewilder students, obscuring the education process. Inthermodynamics it is property evaluation and in heat transfer it is transientconduction. Property evaluation becomes a mass of tables and interpolation.Transient conduction is several different sets of differential equations anddimensionless numbers that look like a bunch of z’s and w’s all strung together.In an attempt to clarify this for the

Virginia Tech have entered as generalengineering students, transferring to degree-granting departments after completing a prescribedset of courses. Beginning in 1984, entering engineering freshmen were required to purchasepersonal computers and selected software, which have been used as an integral part of freshmancourses and in appropriate courses throughout the curriculum. A side effect of this requirementwas that the College no longer maintains computer labs for undergraduates, since they owncomputers of sufficient capability for all of their course work. As the years passed, and thecapabilities of personal computers increased, so did the minimum hardware requirement. Onesignificant change was in 1994 when students were required to purchase

challenge for educators is not only to overcome the barrier of traditional reductionist orlinear thinking in education and develop methods to teach systems thinking [10], but also toassess the effects of such curriculum changes on students’ ability to think in systems. This typeof assessment requires new forms of assessment methods and instruments to measure students’systems thinking abilities [11]. Recently, many have contributed to the discussion on assessingor measuring the ability of systems thinking [13]–[16]. These methods broadly fit into twotypes: instructor assessment of thinking outcomes and student self-evaluation of thinkingability.

Therefore, whilemost respondents were civil or mechanical engineering majors, at least 82 respondents (13%)were not. Student responses were taken from the spring and fall 2002 academic terms. Thebreakdown between terms is 196 responses or 30% of the total from spring 2002 and 449responses or 70% of the total from fall 2002.
