As aresult, allowing the students to calculate and analyze more complex geometries such as square,triangular, or elliptical geometries. Finally, the students can install additional thermocouples atother circumferential locations on the heating rod and generate the local circumferentialcorrelation. 12CONCLUSION: A simple educational convective heat transfer experiment was designed and developedfor integration into the undergraduate mechanical engineering

Sustainable materials are ofincreasing industrial importance. As such, it is imperative that students are educated about theimportance of these materials. One such material is biodegradable polymers. A laboratoryprocedure for testing biodegradability of polymers was designed for an undergraduate materialslaboratory course. Testing biodegradability of plastics allows students to gain a fullerunderstanding of these materials.

After a week or two, they quickly form theirgroups and the room is far from quiet as they collectively finish their assignments. It’s a littledifficult to break the habit of competing, but once they do, the learning seems far more enjoyable,and the students who were present during the active learning all were able to solve similarproblems on the exams.In addition, students were required to work in groups when doing homework, and in thelaboratory section of the course.
