Vigeant, Margot; Prince, Michael; Nottis, Katharyn – Chemical Engineering Education, 2011
This study examines the use of inquiry-based instruction to promote the understanding of critical concepts in thermodynamics and heat transfer. Significant research shows that students frequently enter our courses with tightly held misconceptions about the physical world that are not effectively addressed through traditional instruction. Students'…
