Abstract
Many studies in engineering education have demonstrated benefits in the use of active learning in the classroom. One form of active learning, hands-on experimentation with engineering equipment, is often not experienced until a senior lab course. A major hindrance to this kind of experiential learning is the cost of equipment. Our group has developed a manufacturing method to bridge the price barrier by employing 3D printing and vacuforming. In this paper, methods are described for the development and testing of a new low-cost, miniaturized, lightweight, see-through, easy and safe to use shell and tube heat exchanger (STHX) learning module, and corresponding results for engineering classroom implementations are highlighted.
