Challenge-based instruction serves as amechanism for students to develop these skills and abilities by framing classroom instructionaround a challenge or set of challenges. A challenge problem, introduced at the beginning of a Page 23.281.2course or topic, provides an introduction to the major concepts that will be presented as a part offormal learning. The major concepts are thenpresented in a classroom setting with thechallenge(s) serving as a focal point. Studentsare then required to identify the fundamentalmechanics

The simulation produces two ofthese inputs, one for the left side and one for the right side of the simulated system. Both values arepropagated straight into the FL controller. The Fuzzy Logic controller contains two input membershipfunctions (MF). The functions are identical, but one processes the left sensor inputs and the otherprocesses the right sensor inputs. Five linguistic variables were used as: {VS, S, M, W, VW } denotingVery Strong , Strong , Medium, Weak, and Very Weak. An input falling within the VS membershipcategory indicates and object is very close, and conversely an input within the VW membership categorymeans an object

, 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

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.
