A Green Heat Transfer Design Project to Introduce Globalization and Society Awareness (original) (raw)

Volume 6: Engineering Education and Professional Development, 2010

Abstract

Energy, environmental issues and society awareness are three of the main components in many engineering problems. Engineering Schools use general education courses to address these issues. However, the bridge between the engineering skills and these issues is still a challenge. In the present work, an open-ended design project was used in a senior level Heat Transfer course to address this need. The students were asked to work in teams to design and build a one- or two-person shelter that is built from recycling material and has no active heat source. The shelter should be portable and easily assembled and disassembled using limited tools to match the use in the time of crises or in developing countries. The details of the project are presented and supported by samples from the students’ work.
