Spreadsheets for Thermodynamics Instruction: Another Point of View.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Sandler, Stanley I. – Chemical Engineering Education (CEE), 1997
Responds to the suggestion that computational tools be used in undergraduate thermodynamics courses. Argues that instead of using spreadsheets or specially prepared programs, students can quickly develop their own worksheets and solve problems using an equation-solving software program such as MATHCAD. Emphasis is on understanding the fundamentals…
