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

这个第二阶段的项目通过完成基于“工程场景”学习模型的开发，解决了工程热力学课程的学生教学方法和教育材料的改进。工程场景是基于实际工程设施设备的教材补充。他们扩展了案例研究的概念，包括在现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解决方案的附加设计问题，这些问题可以用来代替传统的家庭作业问题。附带的补充和背景信息促进了以探究为基础或以学生为中心的学习，更好地满足了学生对现实世界的期望，并提高了学生的整体参与度。CCLI第一阶段拨款允许对单一方案进行开发和重复形成性评估。基于大量的评估和学生的反馈，最初的概念已经被完善到充分发展的地步。这个项目创造了一个最终产品，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.
