Design and construction of an in-house EA (Engineering Application) experiment

Heslop, Mark (Principal Investigator) Jones, Christopher (Co-investigator)

Year 2 students carry out four EA experiments (EA1 to EA4). Each experiment simply involves disassembling the equipment component, and then putting it back together again. Although such an activity will inform students about such principles, they could be made more engaging by incorporating such equipment within pipework assemblies that are similar to industrial plants. The intention is that the activity will then more more engaging to the students. Although this is a non-funded project, the experience has been invaluable to the technical team and also the cost savings will be of the order of a few thousands pounds.
