Bowen, Alec S.; Reid, Daniel R.; Koretsky, Milo D. – Chemical Engineering Education, 2015
In this project, we explore the use of threshold concept theory as a design basis for development of Interactive Virtual Laboratories in thermodynamics. Thermodynamics is a difficult subject for chemical and biological engineering students to master. One reason for the difficulty is the diverse and challenging set of threshold concepts that they…
