Abstract

Several panel sessions sponsored by the System Analysis Technical Committee of the ASME Advanced Energy Systems Division were held as a part of 1996 IMECE’s Symposium on Thermodynamics and the Design, Analysis, and Improvement of Energy Systems in Atlanta, GA. Panel Session on the Second Law in Engineering Education was one of them. Panelists included representatives of both, academia and industry. Discussion included the need to educate undergraduate engineers in the Second Law of Thermodynamics and to what depth this education should be. Educational approaches used by participants were also the subject of discussion.
