The Heat Exchanger Learning Apparatus project aims to design and manufacture an educational tool to help Mechanical Engineering Technology students understand heat exchanger functionality and performance parameters. This project incorporates a laboratory experiment into the curriculum with interchangeable bundles for hands-on learning, and uses LabView software for data collection and display. The team, led by Robert Maduro, is currently nearing completion with a 90% project progress, focusing on assembly, final reporting, and presentation preparation.
