) and Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT), HAWT is relatively ineffective forbuildings and locations near buildings, and faces local resistance due to noise as well asaesthetic, visual and public safety concerns [6]. Alternatively, VAWT has been predicted as apotential solution for small-size wind turbines that are installed at buildings and near buildings[7, 8].Responding to that line of discussions, one of the engineering capstone teams have been workingon designing and building an Aesthetically Pleasing Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (APVAWT)system with a logo of the Liberty University School of Engineering for their capstone project. Toachieve the functionality and aesthetics of the APVAWT system, art design team joined fordesigning aesthetically

projects including fixing electric car started in an experimental engineering project coursewhich was taught first time in the department in lieu of a capstone project course. There were acouple of team projects in this course including electric car project. Due to time constraints in theclass the project was incomplete. However, same and more students were interested to work onthe same project either as volunteer basis or enrolling in an independent/directed study courses.Faculty advisors worked with students on weekly basis and created a time/work log for eachstudent to fill out the work progress and details of the duties. Every week the project progress isreviewed by the project advisors and students together. Each student was given time to

She also has extended experience in curriculum development. Dr Husanu developed laboratoryactivities for Measurement and Instrumentation course as well as for quality control undergraduate andgraduate courses in ET Masters program. Also, she introduced the first experiential activity for AppliedMechanics courses. She is coordinator and advisor for capstone projects for Engineering Technology. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Project-based Learning with Implementation of

systems to reject heat from therefrigerant to the outdoor air and to help in liquefying the refrigerant as it passes through itstubes. Reducing the surrounding air temperature or the surface temperature for the condenserwould help in eliminating an additional source of heat into the refrigerant and lower thetemperature of air surrounding the condensers which would enhance the air-conditioning systemperformance.A capstone project in the School of Engineering Technology at Purdue University conducted anexperimental and analytical study to investigate the performance of a 3 ton-refrigerant (TR) air-conditioning unit, installed in a residential house, while shading its condenser. The surfacetemperature of the tubes exiting the condenser were measured

implementation of the project, and a social marketing framework is used in the design ofa project messaging implementation plan.A low-cost "Solar Self-Supply" starter solar PV kit was designed, constructed, and tested as part of asenior capstone engineering class. This affordable, expandable system encourages local households totake advantage of recent drops in prices in Solar PV panels, as well as partial federal subsidies for theentire cost of solar household systems. The system is designed to be connected to the utility power grid.System design, construction, and testing results are discussed, as are project implementation strategies.Geothermal heat pump (GHP) systems make use of the near-constant temperature of the Earth’ssubsurface to help control

Her research interests are Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controllers, robust control, time delay, compensator design, and filter design applications, for continuous-time and discrete-time systems. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2020 Hybrid Green Vessel DesignAbstract This paper presents the milestones of a Hybrid Green Vessel Design capstone project. Themotivation of this project is to develop knowledge and skills in green energy applications, hybridvessels, and power management systems. To accomplish this, undergraduate students areresearching and designing a hybrid power plant for a green
