It is a well-established principle that students learn best by hands-on experiences. The lab experiments areused to provide students with practical skills but these courses also play an important role ofproviding necessary engineering skills like teamwork, formal report writing and trouble-shooting(Davies 2008, Al-Bahi 2007, Krivickas and Krivickas 2007, Feisel and Rosa 2013) in addition toproviding best safety practices and

Developing appropriate systems, however, can be a challengingtask in a manufacturing environment. The target furnaces must run at normal capacity andscheduling, which makes installation and testing of technology complicated. Further, full-scaledevelopment can be costly.Small-scale development is much more appropriate, and lends itself well to practical studentexperiences in design and application (as well as opening opportunities for expanded heattransfer laboratory experiments).

Steam methanereforming (SMR) is the method of hydrogen production described in this study.According to Rosen and Scott (2), it is one of the most important industrial processes forhydrogen production today. Rosen and Scott (1) describe the status of SMR process to bea mature technology. Though the process involves both exothermic and endothermicreactions, the net reaction is endothermic. The energy required to promote the reaction issupplied by heat from the exhaust of an automobile engine and a built-in heater inside thereactor that can be turned off and on.

Efficient Statics Lecture Through the Use of Worksheets Eunice E. Yang, Beverly W. Withiam Engineering Technology Division University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, PA 15904 This paper presents research on the effectiveness of the use of lecture worksheets and 3D computer models to assist students in understanding concepts taught in the undergraduate Statics course. Statics is a course that requires many students to reproduce time consuming schematics during lecture. These schematics begin with simple 2D systems at the start of the semester and progress towards more complicated 3D systems taxing lecture time even further. To address this
