hands-on experiences in engineering education has been recognized fordecades. Yet creating and running an effective hands-on experience, especially in the thermalsciences is challenging. This paper will outline a project that asks students to design, build, andtest a heat exchanger. In addition to being hands-on, the project incorporates two high-impacteducational practices. First, the project is collaborative as groups of 4-5 students work ondesigning their heat exchangers. Second, the project serves a sort of “capstone project” for thethermal science classes by integrating topics from thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heattransfer. While attempts to incorporate designing, building, and testing of heat exchangers as partof a mechanical

The effort was then redirected to improveoperations of several food pantries in the city, leveraging the proximity of communityorganizations and capitalizing on a wealth of local expertise. The project uses the concepts ofvalue-stream mapping and lean six-sigma that is typically used in manufacturing operations, aswell as ethnographic research with contextual inquiry to expose hidden pain points and toexplore user preferences and challenges. Within the framework of supply chain management, the‘RAID’ management technique was used to methodically address and manage risks, conductassessments, handle issues and recognize dependencies.
