Abstract | This paper describes two parallel efforts that attempt to implement a new approach to the teaching of thermal fluids engineering. In one setting, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), the subject matter is integrated into a single year-long subject at the introductory level. In the second setting, at Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), the design-oriented approach is used in the traditional separated presentation at a more advanced level where the material is focused on heat transfer. In both cases, the subject concludes with a design project that synthesizes the subject matter in the context of a real application. It is concluded that the students are much more engaged, develop a greater sense of accomplishment, and are much more capable of analyzing complex problems. (SAH) |
