a new contribution in your field.The University does not have a graduate program in engineering. The motivation for moving to agraduate research group model for the class was to give the students a microcosm of graduateresearch group experience.The goals of implementing this model were to increase capabilities, skills, and learning needed to 1. Digest and disseminate new information in a clear and organized manner 2. Select appropriate illustrations and exercises to teach the topic to others 3. Critically evaluate a research journal article from the literature 4. Delve deeply into a topic of interestThe model was implemented in an upper level environmental engineering class of eight students.Course

required for breadboarding circuits. On the last day of the program, they againpresented what they had accomplished and were asked to provide a ‘lesson learned’. Most of thelessons learned in both the first and second segment of this summer program focused on the needfor care, attention to detail and the challenges of troubleshooting a project.INTRODUCTIONThe lack of representation of African American males in the STEM educational pipeline is arecognized ongoing problem for STEM higher education [1]. Research suggests that approacheswhich improve teacher-student relationships, provide meaningful learning, and developcommunity can improve student perceptions and engagement with STEM subjects. Beat theStreets Baltimore is a program that utilizes

expansions in the East Bay and SFO Airport at three billion to the New Starts program for the Federal Transit Administration with over a hundred projects and $85 billion in construction value. At the latter, he also acted as source selection board chairman and program COTR for $200 plus million in task order con- tracts for engineering services. Working for the third-largest transit agency in the United States, the Los Angeles County MTA, Michael managed bus vehicle engineering for $1 billion in new acquisitions and post-delivery maintenance support for 2300 vehicles with some of the most complex technology (natural gas engines and embedded systems) in the US transit industry in the 1990s. Michael also has extensive

educators create an active-learning atmosphere, inspiring greaterinterest for STEM in their students [1].” Most literature relating to demonstrations focuses on asingle concept or principle. It is the idea of this paper to expose the student to many principleslearned in many classes in a combined way to gain an understanding of how each of the conceptslearned is combined to form a complete system.Universal ImplementationUnderstanding that most instructors would not have a whole house generator at their disposal,the principles presented can be conveyed in other ways. The concept of introducing students tohow the various materials learned in individual classes are combined to complete a practicalsystem can be shown with factory tours, with an

throughchemical or mechanical processes, must be cooled. These fluids pass continuously through a heatchanger, alongside a coolant, in order to regulate their temperature and prevent hazards fromoccurring. Heat exchangers are also useful in academic environments where they are commonlyused to provide students with exposure to thermal-fluids concepts and practical engineeringsystems.Several different types of heat exchanger configurations exist, with the most widely used beingthe double pipe configuration, shell and tube configuration, and crossflow configuration. As shownin Figure 1, the crossflow heat exchanger is of special importance due to the wide variety ofapplications in which it can be utilized, both academic and industrial, such as HVAC systems
