AB  - The traditional lecture-oriented classroom has shown poor student knowledge retention and engagement, especially in a large classroom setting. An in-class demonstration is widely recognized as an effective method to engage students in the subject matter. This study examined how in-class demonstrations play a role in students’ learning of undergraduate thermodynamics courses in mechanical engineering. Three demonstrations covering topics of energy conservation, property evaluation, and entropy were presented to a class. The modules were designed to demonstrate real-life examples for each course topic to promote student learning and engagement. After the demonstration, students were asked to discuss the topic as a group. The discussion questionnaires were developed to initiate discussions among students and help students gain conceptual understandings, reinforce ideas, and encourage students to think about various thermodynamics concepts creatively through real-world applications. After the group discussion, students’ understanding was evaluated using several formative assessments. This study demonstrated that the in-class demonstrations significantly improved student performance for closed-book assessments. However, when the assessments were open-book, the in-class demonstration had no significant effect on the students’ performance regardless of the type of questions, e.g., multiple-choice, true or false, and fill-in-the-blank. Overall, students expressed positive learning experiences with the in-class demonstrations and indicated a need for similar demonstrations in other courses.
