STEM education’s importance is ever increasing with the expansion of technical fields. Learning about energy and energy efficiency is fundamental to engineering students. Theoretical concepts are better understood if students are involved in practical approach of learned concepts. Specifically, the first law of thermodynamics describes the natural and proven law that all energy is conserved and allows quantification of energy. This project describes the design and construction of an apparatus that demonstrates the First Law of Thermodynamics and subsequently energy quantification, energy conversion and energy efficiency along with learning modules to be used in an educational setting.
