, its relevance in engineering and engineeringeducation cannot be underestimated, especially when having today´s energy andenvironmental concerns in mind.Despite the importance of the subject, it has been considered as “dry and abstract” bystudents 1. One reason might be that the subject has become more and more difficult to relateto its applications –the fundamentals principles are the same as for 150 years ago, but theapplications become more and more refined due to technological developments andinnovations. If so, it is altogether not surprising that students find engineeringthermodynamics abstract, being separated from its applications – this might be devastating forthe students’ interest and possibility to learn.An increase in student

Afterexploring various assessment instruments, the project also found that assessment of studentlaboratory learning can be tricky: assessment results from collected data might not sensitive tothe impact from employed technology interference. After two years of working with thesepersonal, portable tools, the authors are more cautious when attempting to apply similar tools togeneral engineering students, especially to lower level courses. However, the authors still firmlybelieve that the transformation of engineering laboratory learning will play an important role inorder to meet challenges identified in [10].References:1. Yao, J., L.

That is, scientists(geologists /geophysicists) and the engineers enroll in the same course as early exposure to collaborationamong the different disciplines will better prepare them to participate in multidisciplinary teams– now commonplace in the work force (e.g., energy and materials sectors).The course is typically taken in the first semester of the junior year, but many sophomores andseniors commonly enroll in the course as well. Students are expected to have already

Overall, the course syllabus and the course objectives are met toa great extent. As mentioned before, several assessment tools have been identified such as classwork/homework, quizzes/exams and projects. Sincere attempt is made to refer to the CLOs whiledesigning the contents of the assessment tools used. For example, many class work andhomework problems, and each exam question clearly stated the concept being tested in thatquestion, and to what extent that question addresses the CLO(s) and how it maps the PO(s).Students were informed where this information will be used.

This means thatwe will structure mobility to maximize preparatory study of the Spanish or English language(whichever is the second language) so that when students actually go for their semester (s)abroad in their second language that they will have already studied that language for at least twosemesters.

These principal ICT directly enabling modern E-commerce include Web-basedcomputing, mobile computing, and ubiquitous computing (Banavar & Bernstenin, 2002; Kannanet al., 2001; Samaras, 2002).The Web-based computing was implemented based on a wirednetwork using the Internet until the ability to connect started approaching physical limit-mobility.The mobile computing based on wireless infrastructure gave rise to a new S curve, with the newphysical limits being a higher level of ubiquity and embeddedness (Lyytinen & Yoo, 2002).Over the past decade, we have witnessed the rapid developments in ICT which have substantiallychanged the landscape of E-commerce. The Internet has introduced a significant wave of
rising energy prices create a renewed opportunityto move U.S. public policy and engineering education in a mutually beneficial direction. Callsfor change in the way energy education occurs are certainly not new, and earlier expressions ofconcern are a good source for our current reflection. Writing in 1973, the highly respectedRepublican legislator Howard Baker pondered the then-current oil supply shortage.4 Heconcluded that well-developed education programs linking environmental attitudes with energyuse could have a strong and lasting impact on energy consumption behaviors in the country. Inthe 1970‘s, President Jimmy Carter advocated the development of energy education programs tochange students‘ perceptions of energy and alter patterns of
