"Learning is not
a spectator sport. Students do not learn much just sitting in classes listening
to teachers, memorizing prepackaged assignments, and spitting out answers.
They must talk about what they are learning, write reflectively about it,
relate it to past experiences, and apply it to their daily lives. They
must make what they learn part of themselves"

W. Chickering and Stephen C. Ehrmann"

needs a new revolution."— Thomas Jefferson

Probing the Mechanics Comprehension
of First Year University Science Students at Selected Malaysian Universities.
(UiTM, UKM, USM & UPM). Grab the Malay-language
FCI
& MBT inventories. The files can
be downloaded as a .pdf files at this site to authorized educators.
To view any of these files, you will need a password. Contact me at

for the password. (Grant given
by Bureau of Research & Consultancy, UiTM; August 2000 - July 2001.)
Caution: Those wanting to
use either the English or Malay version of the inventories must obtain
password from Dr. JJ or Larry at
ASU.
In
order to protect the value of the inventories, please do not print and
distribute without proper control.
Using the Peer-Collaborative-Learning
in Thermodynamics for Applied Chemists & Industrial Chemists
at Universiti Teknologi MARA. (Partially funded by Faculty of Applied Science,
UiTM; 1999 - 2001.) A workshop using this self-assessment along with
examples using concept maps will be held at the AsPEN Seminar & Workshop
May 27 - 29, 2002. The event will be held at Yayasan Pelajaran MARA,
Kuantan Pahang. This conference is a yearly AsPEN Malaysia event and this
year is jointly organized by the Yayasan Pelajaran MARA, a junior college
in Kuantan. For more information check the host website: AsPEN

Science Perceptions Among
Applied Science Students at University Teknologi MARA. (Research Leader:
Zarila Mohd Shariff. Grant given by Bureau of Research & Consultancy,
UiTM; August 2001 - July 2002.)
Index of Learning Style for
both the staff and the students at the faculty are also being looked at
using the index developed by Prof. Richard Felder from the Chemical
Engineering Department and Dr. Barbara Solomon, First -Year College,
North Carolina State University. The digital scoring was created by
Dr. J.J. using MS Excel. Students and staff can enter their options directly
into the computer and the scores and a brief explanation of their learning
styles will be displayed. This project was recently tried out and the data
will be collected during the end of May 2002. Zarila Mohd Shariff is assisting
me with the data collection.

Buy
a copy of the textbook; "Thermodynamics An Engineering Approach" by Cengel
& Yunus; Edition 4.
Download
the specific operational objectives available on this site, for the purpose
of self-assessment.
Use
the course outline (details of what to do and when to do) along with the
textbook and the operational objectives to prepare for your collaborative
(group) learning sessions.
Mark
the options on the operational objectives after doing your reading and
preparation before you attend the collaborative learning on Tuesdays. Then
save your options in Microsoft Excel with the filename "myname.xls". An
example of a filename could be jaafar.xls
Send
an email with your excel file as an attachment
to the email address Thermopre@salam.uitm.edu.my
to be received by Tuesday at 3 pm.
It is best that you send it over the weekend along with your reading assignment/concept
map. I need to compile and review your responses before Tuesday's class.
Failure to send the responses results in penalty not more that 1% (for
each week) of the total course percentage.
Once
the collaborative session is over, you must send your post-responses to
the email address Thermopost@salam.uitm.edu.my
to be received no later than 3pm on Fridays.
Failure to send the responses results in penalty not more that 0.5% of
the total course percentage. I will make comparison between your pre and
post responses to the operational objectives.
On completion of this course, students
should be able to:
Use the property table and
simple mathematical computation to determine phases of pure substances
when given 2 independent intensive properties.
Represent phases and states
of pure substances and thermodynamics processes on property diagrams such
as the temperature-volume and pressure –volume property diagrams.
Identify the forms of dynamic
or interacting energies and forms of energies within a system.
Write the general energy and
mass balances and specific energy balances in any units, for the many different
devices such as nozzles, piston-cylinder devices, turbines, and compressors.
State the characteristics
of heat engines, draw energy flow diagrams and schematic diagrams for steam
power plants, heat pumps and refrigerators.
Determine thermal efficiencies
for real and Carnot engines.
Identify, and discuss causes
of energy degradation and the use of Increase of Entropy Principle and
entropy balance to quantify energy losses in a device.
Sketch a temperature-entropy
property diagram representing Carnot cycles, Rankine cycles and other modified
Rankine cycles.
Solve conceptual and computational
problems related to energy balances, mass balances, mass flow rates, power
generated by turbines, power input to compressors or air conditioners,
heat exchangers and thermal efficiencies of Carnot and Rankine cycle engines.
Convert from gravimetric (by
weight) to volumetric (by mole) and vice versa and to write equation of
states for gas mixtures.
Explain the idea of combustion,
to state the sources of combustion and hence able to determine the amount
of oxygen and air required for combustible materials to burn completely.
Save
each of the files below onto your diskette or hard drive.
Fill-in
your responses.
Then
send the file containing your responses, to me, by attaching it with
your email .
ALWAYS
COPY the email to yourself to ensure what I shall receive is the same as
what you had sent.
ALWAYS
SAVE your responses on a diskette and bring the diskette containing your
responses, to class, in case I did not receive your email with the attachments.
Some of the pdf files above are encrypted with password. Send me an email at drjjlanita@yahoo.com or jjnita@salam.uitm.edu.my to obtain the password to open and print the documents.
Due
to limited server space allocated for us, I cannot place all the pictures
here, only the album can be placed. Hence, if you would like to acquire
the pictures in the album, please send me an email at jjnita@salam.uitm.edu.my
and cc to drjjlanita@hotmail.com.
Remember
to write the album number and the picture number you want.
