Zeynep Durak is a graduate research assistant in the at Washington State University. She is working on the design and development of low-cost miniaturized hands-on learning tools to demonstrate heat transfer and fluid mechanics concepts. Specifically she is working on the development of a fluidized bed desktop learning module and its associated learning materials.
Prof. Bernard J. Van Wie received his B.S., M.S. and Ph.D., and did his postdoctoral work at the University of Oklahoma where he also taught as a visiting lecturer. He has been on the Washington State University (WSU) faculty for 40 years and for the past 25 years expanded to include a strong focus on engineering education. He has won three innovation awards, two at his institution and one national award from AIChE for innovation in chemical engineeering.

Over the past five years, our group has worked on the development of desktop-sized learning tools to demonstrate fluid mechanics and heat transfer concepts. We use a hub-based approach, breaking the US into sections with faculty coordinators within each region who interact with other faculty at institutions in their areas. In this paper we present a review covering five years of implementing through this distribution model for use of affordable transport equipment (ATE) for fluid mechanics and heat transfer classes. A review of ATE construction, testing and distribution is also assessed. We summarize lessons learned in working with hub-coordinators and workshops participants, getting attendee participation, and motivating them to prepare for the training, and follow-up through use of pre- and post-implementation forms required for obtaining stipends and support. The cumulative results of pre- to posttest concept inventories are presented for a base set of two fluid mechanics and two heat transfer ATE as well as motivational surveys and information related to demographic findings. We present construction strategies, production and implementation findings for our latest modules, an Evaporative Cooler and Fluidized Bed, and how strong technical components are integrated into the process to assist chemical engineering graduate students in obtaining robust results suitable for extending PhD thesis work to include fundamental and applied modeling along with experimental results. We present up-to-date results on our latest module concept in creating a microfluidics glucose monitoring system consisting of a flow chamber and a cell phone-based spectrophotometer. Finally, we conclude next steps for sustainability and continuation of the project, and lessons learned on strategies for mass production for prospective large-scale distribution.
