practice in this arena. Tothis end, virtually all engineering programs offer a significant capstone design experience. But isthis enough? Many other upper level engineering courses build upon prerequisite knowledgeand may also provide opportunities for transfer and complex problem solving. In particular,laboratory courses are excellent candidates as transference or the assimilation of concepts intopractice is the ultimate goal. To be effective, however, laboratory instruction must deviate fromtraditional exercises involving a structured/dictated (“canned”) procedure requiring minimalcritical thinking by the student.Time to learnSolving engineering problems requires drawing from various sources of knowledge and skills.The amount of material to be

At The Ohio State University, a new pilot-scalePlate Heat Exchanger (PHX) experiment was designed and constructed in the Unit OperationsLaboratory during the summer of 2021.A particularly challenging aspect of developing new experimental apparatus for Unit OperationsLaboratories is operating pilot-scale or commercial-scale equipment with laboratory-scaleutilities and flows. While it is desirable for students to work with authentic industrial equipment,the operation of large-scale units may be unrealistic if the available utilities and flow rates areundersized. As shipped from the manufacturer, the heat exchanger used in the PHX experiment

This is their first introduction to calibration of instrumentationand this calibration is the first they perform. This is one of the most importantexperiments done in this laboratory because all subsequent experiments require theuse of the calibration curve that this assignment produces.
