INSTRUMENTATION AND MEASUREMENTThe required variables for thermal conductivity measurement are heat flux and temperaturegradient through the test fluid, as well as the shearing rate of the test fluid. The apparatus’instrumentation is described next:• The thermal conductivity apparatus is instrumented and equipped with twelve thermocouples imbedded in the inner cylinder at two different radial and five different axial locations (see Figs. 2 and 3). In addition, two thermocouples are attached to the outside surface of the outer cylinder, diametrically opposite at the center of the main-heater’s axial location. These two

appropriate for use in undergraduate classes because themodels are expensive and they take too long to build (about six hours). This point wasreinforced by the experience of the GMI Engineering and Management Institute where 8 hours ofSLA time are budgeted for each student8. For a class of 100 students, this is over 800 hours.Thus a project that each student completes in a couple of weeks is not feasible.A new low cost process to create models from the STL file is now available from SchroffDevelopment Corporation. Their JP-5 system replaces the printer on a personal computer with acutter that cuts paper outlines for each of the layers, using adhesive backed paper.

to incorporate design projectswithin the technical classes: A group design project, with a final written report, requires the use(and hence learning) of all of these skills. A second opportunity to emphasize these skills is inlaboratory reports. It is easy to fall into the mode of providing detailed directions for eachlaboratory experiment and to require individual written reports from each student. However, byproviding only superficial directions and goals for the experiment, the students must developtheir problem solving skills (how to do the experiment). Secondly, by requiring group reports,the students will develop their teamwork skills. On the basis of this survey, the authors haveincorporated design projects into all their courses and
