Undergraduate education deserves utmost care in creating new generation mechanical engineers. It is important to pass knowledge without overwhelming students while stimulation of critical thinking is kept as the key to shape their minds. Heat transfer course is usually referred as one of the hardest topics by engineering students. This presents a challenge to educators and leads them to seek methods to captivate students’ attention and understanding of the subject matter. In this panel, different perspectives will be presented on how to make heat transfer course attractive and easier for students to understand. The panel discussions will bring experiences of the panelists together as example approaches. The panel involves highly experienced heat transfer professors who made appreciable contributions to the heat transfer research field who offer new techniques to attract students.
Panelists
Prof. Patrick Oosthuizen, Queen's University, Kingston Ontario, Canada
Prof. Michael Pate, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA
Prof. Ashley F. Emery, University of Washington, Seattle, WA, USA

Researchers and development engineers from the industry and academia are invited to discuss their experiences of converting a heat exchanger concept to a commercial application and highlight learnings obtained along the way including successes, failures and troubleshooting. Another purpose of this topic is to discuss studies conducted to evaluate performance of the heat exchangers in a system level operation compared to the design expectations and lessons learnt as well as solutions implemented to address identified gaps.
