Solar Cook-Off – ENGR 101 Fall 2009
In this project, students designed and built a solar cooker that was tested in the Bartlett Plaza as part of a Solar Cook-Off! For the cook-off, students were given a sample of fava beans (“foul”), a piece of toast, and a slice of cheese and water and asked to use their solar cooker to cook the food. They received points for food presentation (just for fun) and also were evaluated on more quantitative measures such as the maximum temperature reached in the cooker, creativity of the design, and the quality of the engineering. The students also received questions from passersby in the Plaza and had a poster explaining their design.

Solar energy project in Applied Thermodynamics Course
In this project, students were divided into teams and each team was given a component in the cycle to design, build, and test. The components include the parabolic trough collector, the heat exchanger, the turbine and generator, the pump, and others. In addition, students are learning to instrument through mini-tutorials how to make thermocouples and instrument hardware so that they integrate those elements into their projects as needed.
