Phil Schmidt, Jack Howell, Ofideke Ezekoye, and Derek Baker-- engineering educators with extensive experience in both classroom teaching and the development of multimedia learning tools, introduce an integrated approach to the teaching of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics: An Integrated Learning System (text +web) is a combined print text and web-based learning tool. The book offers the many benefits of the print medium in documenting detailed mathematical treatments, important property data, and other material that needs to be readily accessible and archivable, while the web’s animated charts and color graphics offer visually-oriented engineering students a sense of how things really look and how principles work in practice.
ThermoNet, the web-based component of their dual system, has been developed over a six-year period with support from the National Science Foundation. In this unique teaching system, ThermoNet is not a “textbook-supplement,” but an equal partner with the text. While the text and the web site both present complete versions of a standard course in thermodynamics, they work together with an effectiveness neither could achieve alone. Text plus Web make the subject of Thermodynamics—long viewed by students as a difficult hurdle on the path to an engineering degree—clear and accessible in all its far-ranging importance.
