converter system design,industry codes, standards and potential specialization in this engineering field. Students learn,verify, and reinforce lecture concepts by performing power converter experiments in thelaboratory sessions. In our approach we adopted the principles of the problem-learningmethodology. With this approach, students can develop confidence and the abilities needed inproject design, as well as in their senior capstone design courses. The design experience developsthe students’ lifelong learning skills, self-evaluations, self-discovery, and peer instruction in thedesign’s creation, critique, and justification. Through the projects, the students learn to use andunderstand the manufacturer data sheets, application notes, and technical

be successful in providing theses for graduate students that clearly containedmore than theses performed in similar subjects without senior capstone design teamcontributions. The quality of those theses are usually superior, for example [2,9,10,11,12,13].Papers generated from those theses were more likely to receive recognition and higher marks inpeer reviews. Hence, we again employed these methods in the project at hand.The project’s staffing was organized in the typical fashion with a major professor chairing acommittee of three professors for a Master’s degree with thesis. A graduate mentor wasappointed and, through a documented self-selection process, a team of undergraduates wasappointed [14,15]. For a senior capstone design project

sizes or smaller cooling loads were higher than with larger cooling loads.The efficiency of the cycle did not take into consideration the changes or savings that could bedone in the compressor work due to shading. If there had been any significant drop in the workdone by the compressor, then the improvement in the efficiency of the cycle would be higher. Towhat degree and to what extent, it is unknown. This has to be experimentally investigated. Thus,the team decided to take this project into further analysis and decided to investigate this as partof their capstone project. The team is in the process of preparing to measure and monitor thecondenser temperature during summer season for one-unit while being shaded and unshaded.The compressor
