Space Race Game: A Web-Based Board Game for Aiding Students in Reviewing Thermochemistry, Chemical Equilibrium, and Chemical Kinetics

This work provides information about the design, implementation, and assessment of the instructional role of a bilingual (English and Portuguese) web-based board game designed to assist Brazilian Mechanical Engineering undergraduate students in reviewing the content related to thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, and chemical kinetics. The game can be an alternative instrument to traditional problem-solving classes. Sixty-four mechanical engineering undergraduate students played the game using the Portuguese version and evaluated it positively. Also, learning assessments revealed that the game effectively promotes learning like conventional problem-solving classes.
