Beginning Thermodynamics Flipped Course Redesign

Thermodynamics I is typically the first course students take in the 300 level courses. It is a bottleneck class with over 20% of students receiving repeatable grades (W, D or F). In this project, the following technological and pedagogical activities are pursued: Integrating a set of video tutorials covering topics that students found difficult; the use of practical examples and industrial type problems relevant to Chemical Engineering; and, employing Clicker self-assessment questions in the classroom. In addition, several discussion topics developed to implement active group learning in the classroom.
