Green Design Project Part 1: The Hybrid Powertrain ProjectAbstractSubjects that are separate in the curriculum, such as thermodynamics and mechanical design, areintegrated in practice, since thermal and mechanical systems must function cohesively in realmechanical systems (e.g. an air conditioner). With this in mind, we are beginning theimplementation of a novel, potentially transformative approach to integrating courseworkthrough five semesters of the core mechanical engineering curriculum.The centerpiece of this research is a long-term design/build/test project that will be developed bystudents over the course of five semesters.
