laboratory. The projectwas funded by the ASHRAE Senior Undergraduate Project Grant Program. This paperdescribes a project where a group of undergraduate engineering students in themanufacturing processes, finite element methods and fluid mechanics courses designed,built, and tested a swirling pipe flow apparatus for measurements of friction factors. Theoverall objective was to engage the students in a design project. The paper will alsoprovide details of assessment and outcomes for the project.The students had to choose materials, minimize production cost, and determinefabrication techniques for the apparatus. Students designed the apparatus usingSolidWorks, and SolidWorks Flow Simulation software was used to simulate the swirlingpipe flow.Students

functions, in addition to establishing a strong analyticalfoundation. Recognizing the importance of basic experimentation techniques, a new freshmanengineering project was designed to expose students to the overall engineering profession withemphasis on developing fundamental technical and laboratory skills. The project was inspired bythe popular Consumer Reports magazine, which publishes reviews of consumer products uponrigorous testing and analytical surveys. Specifically, we note the strong overlap between corefunctions of an engineer and the process with which Consumer Reports reviews are generated.Freshman students were asked to select three brands of a consumer product for their review withinstructor consultation. The products ranged from

The course invokes project-based learning (PBL) to teach studentsabout the design process and how to write about design. In Fall 2015, the seventeen-sectioncourse was team-taught by twelve engineering faculty and seven writing arts faculty.

. This paperdiscusses an open-ended design project in which students bridge the gap by designing a devicethat converts heat produced by a candle into the work of raising a quarter vertically. The act ofdesigning and testing the device allows students the opportunity to analyze the conversionprocess using material learned in class and provides a valuable hands-on experience dealing withthe physical phenomena involved (i.e. friction, heat loss, sudden expansion, etc). The project hasbeen administered at multiple universities with students participating in small teams andfeedback gathered through post-project surveys. Several iterations of the project have beenadministered with variations in the analysis required, in-class time dedicated to the

In the Phase I of the project, a vague problem idea was given, which required thestudents to design a (multidisciplinary) mechatronics system. The students formed in teams andcollected information to further define the project before drawing their first drafts. Multiple ideaswere
