AbstractA solar design project has been developed for use at the United States Air Force Academy(USAFA) in a sustainable energy course; the project entails prediction of solar position, surfaceinsolation intensity, heat transfer modeling of a solar distillation unit, and the possibility for moreopen-ended applications with other locations, environmental conditions, or system modifications.The course was offered for the first time in the spring of 2011, and included many

Capstone Design ProjectI. IntroductionThe Hofstra University mechanical engineering program requires students to take twocapstone design courses – one in the mechanics area; the other in the thermal/fluids area.This paper discusses a Spring 2007 design project in the latter area; in particular, aproject dealing with design of a ventilation system for a room.Over the past four years, our department has experienced an increase in enrollment in themechanical engineering program. We are not completely sure as to the reason for this.Perhaps the increase is due to the students’ perception of an improved job market in theME discipline. It may also be due to the mechanical faculty’s emphasis on teaching andinteraction with students rather than research

After that, students aregrouped based on common interests gleaned from a survey given on the first day of class. In thegroup projects students are allowed to set their own responsibilities within the team. Typicallyone person will be in charge of the team budget, one person will conduct experimental testing,one person will be responsible for numerical modeling, etc. For the group projects each team isgiven an allocation of “Monopoly Money” that they use for purchasing supplies and paying forfaculty and staff time to help them on their projects.
