Assessment DataDuring Fall 2012 the engagement Opinionairre was administered in two separate, and distinct,thermodynamics courses (each at a different institution). The survey was given near the end ofthe semester. Basic statistics on the results are shown in Table 3. The primary differencebetween the two courses was size (N = 51 versus N = 5). In addition, Course A made use of theEngaged in Thermodynamics material while Course B did not. The average response to studentinterest was higher for Course A, which made use of the Engaged material, but the small samplesize precludes a definite correlation.
