Paper ID #27773Design of a Laboratory Testbed for Modeling Industrial ExhaustDr. Gordon P. Smith, Western Kentucky University c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019 Design of a Laboratory Testbed for Modeling Industrial ExhaustAbstractThere are a great many industries in the Kentucky and surrounding areas that utilize natural gasburners in their operation, typically on order of hundreds of thousands of cubic feet per month toliquefy and hold molten aluminum for their die operations. Much of the energy content of thisfuel is consumed in plant operation, but a significant amount of heat is released to the

impact was not realizedby those identified as “at risk” [4]. Most of the existing research on PBL addresses residential(i.e. in class) and flipped classrooms environments. As noted in the 2019 ASEE AnnualConference for the division of “Experimentation and Lab-Oriented Studies” the onlineinvolvement of PBL towards engineering experimentation was virtually absent [5].The objective of this paper is to demonstrate the applicability of an online engineeringexperimentation course that empowers engineering students to attain hands-on, appliedengineering experimentation experiences within their normal dwellings. This course usesinexpensive, yet reasonably accurate sensors and data acquisition systems. An objective of thecourse was to deliver students

hoursConclusions:This paper presents an effort attempting to prepare College of Engineering and Technology faculty for allthe uncertainties and changes they had to face as the result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The series ofdiscussions organized by faculty across different departments certainly have helped many facultymembers facing the enormous challenges in multiple facets. The ideas collected from these sessionsparticularly assisted in transitioning essential experiential learning to appropriate contexts in order tocomply with capacity limitations, PPE requirements, and social distancing. Experiential learning wasunderstandably one of the most impacted areas of teaching and learning given all of the constraints.The authors wish such a discussion at an ASEE

theory.Student Learning Approach and Course DevelopmentIn the Summer of 2019 the authors participated in their Center for Advancement of Teaching’ssummer course (re)design program to design their Control Systems and Instrumentation course.During this program, the authors worked through the book, Building a Pathway for StudentLearning [13]. Before this program, the authors approached the course design as “how can wepossibly consolidate all these topics to one course?” The course changed the authors’ narrative to“what do our students look like after they have completed our course? What can they do thatthey could not before taking our course?” From this crucial change in perspective, the authorsbegan to work backwards from a final project, build an
