Full Development of Engineering Scenarios to Promote Student Engagement in Thermodynamics Related Courses

这个第二阶段的项目致力于改进工程热力学课程的学生教学方法和教材，完成基于“工程情景”的学习模式的开发。工程场景是基于实际工程设施和设备的教科书补充。它们扩展了案例研究的概念，包括在真实环境中编写的基于技能的问题，以及基于设计方法和实际设施中的实际解决方案的附加设计问题，这些问题可以用来取代传统的家庭作业问题。附带的补充和背景信息有助于增加基于探究的学习或以学生为中心的学习，更好地满足学生对现实世界的期望，并导致学生整体参与度的提高。CCLI第一阶段赠款允许对单一情景进行开发和重复形成性评估。在大量评估和学生反馈的基础上，最初的概念已被提炼到充分发展的程度。这个项目创造了一个最终的产品，准备作为教科书的补充广泛传播。

This Phase 2 project addresses improvements in student pedagogy and educational materials for the engineering thermodynamics curriculum by completing the development of an "Engineering Scenario" based learning model. Engineering Scenarios are textbook supplements based on actual engineering facilities and equipment. They expand on the case study concept by including skills-based problems written in the context of the real-world environment, as well as additional design problems based on design methods and actual solutions at real facilities that can be used in place of traditional homework problems. Accompanying supplementary and background information promotes increased inquiry-based or student-centered learning, better addresses student real world expectations, and leads to an increase in overall student engagement. A CCLI Phase 1 grant allowed for the development and repeated formative assessment of a single scenario. Based on considerable assessment and student feedback the original concept has been refined to the point of full development. This project creates a final product ready for widespread dissemination as a textbook supplement.
