Engineering Education, 2010 Full Development of Engineering Scenarios to Promote Student Engagement in Thermodynamics – Year 11. Background on Project ConceptMany thermodynamics courses are taught with traditional teaching methods and textbooks.Thermodynamics is prone to elicit a negative impression from students "who perceive the subjectas dry and abstract 1.” While there has been progress in recent years with online activities, mosttextbooks offer limited visual aids and few descriptions depicting actual equipment or industrysettings. Even though the topics covered often have a real-world basis they are generallysimplified and only offer a superficial impression of industry applications. The result is thatmany students
