As part of their Transport Phenomena II class, the students were given their originalfreshman engineering design reports and were required to provide an analysis of their design. Theanalysis assignment was two-fold: the students were required to submit a group report re-analyzingthe technical merits of their heart-lung design project and the students were required to submit anindividual reflection paper. The group report analysis included: significance of design criteria,engineering design process and theoretical analysis of data collected.
