Unifying Multiple Concepts with a Single Semester-Long Project: A Brewery Design Project for Heat Transfer Courses Jacob J. Elmer and Noelle Comolli Villanova University, 217 White Hall, 800 East Lancaster Avenue, Villanova, PA 19085Abstract Student learning and retention of material can be significantly enhanced by assigninggroup projects that challenge students to apply concepts covered in class. However, a keychallenge in many engineering courses is developing projects that effectively relate the multitudeof distinctly different concepts taught throughout the semester. For example, most heat transfercourses cover several different modes of heat transfer, including conduction

modules were implemented for some the other assignments as well. By the end of first semester, thermodynamic students can develop a system of equationsfor a refrigeration system and optimize the condenser and evaporator based on minimum totalcost. This was done by adding three simple tools to traditional thermodynamics. Which were: 1)the conductance form of the heat exchanger equation from heat transfer, 2) the equation to take auniform series of payments and bring them to present worth from engineering economics, and 3)regression analysis to relate the design variables to the initial cost. The system model relating the design variables to cost provided the students with apractical and significant challenge. The students could see

The goal of the paper is to propose an efficient design of a lecture which caninvolve the students actively in the learning process.Student MotivationThe whole academic practice is focused around the students. Before we even design any learningmethodology, we need to study the students, their motivation and objectives. We wish to expectthat the students are attending the academic programs to learn a topic and get trained for real life.Unfortunately the reality is not the same as we, both the teachers and the parents, expect out ofthis group. An analysis on the student motivation yields the following observations. (1

The tremendous success of MOOCs can in part,be attributed to their global availability, enabling anyone in the world to sign up/drop courses atany time during the course offerings. A single course enrollment in MOOCs can range between10,000 to 200,000 students, hereby providing a potentially rich venue for large scale digital data(e.g
MotorolaDSP96002 provides three address spaces (a program space, an X data space, and a Y data space) which can be accessedconcurrently10. Another key issue for DSPs is internal versus external memory. Many devices provide on-chip memory in a fashionsimilar to microcontrollers (e.g. the Intel 8051 family). However, the problem with external memory is the performance penaltiesoften associated with them. That is, some DSPs provide single-cycle memory access for internal memory but are much slower forexternal memory. Closely related to the multiple buses provided in DSPs, most devices have an architecture centered around a pipelined approach toparallel processing. Like an automobile assembly line, different parts of different instructions are executed by
