Assessment of CHAPL Implementation
• Replaced lecture with Hands-On, Cooperative, Problem-based environment. Required junior level course – Fluid Mechanics
and Heat Transfer. 2nd course in transport series
• Application based course following up theoretical course
• Course splits into fluid mechanics half, and heat transfer half
Outline of Course
• Class split into groups Each group member assigned a concept.
• 2-3 class periods + 1 office hour spent developing teaching materials to bring concept back to home group.
• Group members rotate through leading home group through learning concept.
• Home group has design project combining all concepts.
• Repeat for heat transfer.
