Design of the Week

Each week, we will be presenting a thermo design of the week. The design of the week is an opportunity for you to reflect on how the concepts that you are learning in class might actually apply in the real world. It is also an opportunity to reflect on the non-technical issues that impact the design and development of a real engineering product.
