hands-on experiences in engineering education has been recognized fordecades. Yet creating and running an effective hands-on experience, especially in the thermalsciences is challenging. This paper will outline a project that asks students to design, build, andtest a heat exchanger. In addition to being hands-on, the project incorporates two high-impacteducational practices. First, the project is collaborative as groups of 4-5 students work ondesigning their heat exchangers. Second, the project serves a sort of “capstone project” for thethermal science classes by integrating topics from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heattransfer. While attempts to incorporate designing, building, and testing of heat exchangers as partof a mechanical

The course helps to promote professionalidentity development by exposing students to authentic engineering practice. It is also a generaleducation course, vetted and certified as providing a broad foundation of knowledge withlearning applicable to general settings.A weakness of such a course is lack of a multidisciplinary presentation of engineering. Rather,engineering is typically presented as the employment of a set of skills centered aroundtechnology tools. By incorporating features of liberal education into the first engineering course,the resulting engineering practice demands attention to critical thinking in conjunction with theapplication of technical

The tool is beingused in the capstone design course sequence, and the results from three semesters ofimplementation are reported and briefly discussed. Compared to the previous method of peer-evaluation alone, the new tool allows each sub-outcome to be measured and evaluated.IntroductionMechanical engineering seniors at Lawrence Technological University (LTU) complete acapstone design project: either an SAE collegiate design series (CDS) competition or anindustry-sponsored project (ISP). These capstone projects serve as a summative assessment,bringing together machine design, thermo-fluids, manufacturing, and mechatronics topics into areal-world design experience.

This reality frequently extends beyondengineering disciplines and includes colleagues from other backgrounds ranging from projectmanagers, marketing and sales, to assemblers, machinists, and technicians. Often, they are alsorequired to follow a documented or prescribed process that may resemble an engineering designprocess. To better prepare students for both engineering practice and internships along the way,we developed a semester-long design project that is bound by many of these constraints.

lost sight of the pressures on junior faculty;when a student is allowed to fail a project because the scaffolding of intermediate deadlines isnot done for them, they hold the faculty responsible and not themselves. The negativerepercussions on faculty evaluations if students are allowed to fail is disproportionately large forjunior faculty members, and the very tasks that Weimer resists become essential tools to supportstudent perceptions of success. Attendance is required (or graded) because the assumption is thatit positively affects learning and motivation; larger assignments are submitted in installmentsbecause students procrastinate and do not reserve enough time at the end of the project toadequately complete it.
