On developments in interactive web-based learning modules in a thermal-fluids engineering course: Part II

In this paper we present the general features of the project known as I-Campus, developed for enhancing the traditional lecture format in subject 2.005 Thermal-Fluids Engineering I, a core second-year subject in the Mechanical Engineering curriculum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This new methodology utilizes computer-based teaching and learning models. We also introduce the pedagogical basis for the study and then present the details of the fundamental characteristics of the study together with the new learning technologies derived from them. We then illustrate the manner in which we have incorporated these new materials of the study.
