Ingeneral, big data comes from interactivity, i.e., either a person clicking or scrolling on a webpageor sensors in either a home or chemical plant. In the same vein, combining interactivity withtextbooks has begun to create big data in the engineering classroom.Student-centered teaching techniques are commonly called active learning [3-8]. This type ofpedagogy focuses on students learning by doing in many cases. Despite the large body of evidencesupporting these best practices of teaching, adoption is not the norm. While not adopting the newstandard techniques in laboratory research leaves faculty behind, the same expectation

In this paper we describe a typical home brewing operation, outline the objectives andconstraints of the wort cooling step, and describe the apparatus we use in the demonstration orlab. The governing model equations are given, and we show how these are used as a theoreticalmodeling exercise for the cooling step, where results can be compared with experimental valuesusing different model assumptions and simplifications. We show how non-dimensional versionof the model equations are used to show how the magnitude of different
