Teaching Logical Troubleshooting in HVACR
Carter Stanfield, Athens Technical College
Do you want to challenge students to think critically as they progress through realistic HVACR scenarios? In this session, author Carter Stanfield will discuss how computer simulation can be used to teach a logical approach in HVACR troubleshooting. He’ll demonstrate how students answer a series of questions designed to eliminate possible causes and eventually pinpoint the root cause of a problem. Pearson’s Revel® provides emphasis on teaching logical processes through student interaction.
