Abstract: Vortex tubes are made by small groups of students in a freshman engineering 'concepts and design' class.The tubes are made from specially prepared kits with details important to performance left un-finished.Students in an elective manufacturing methods class produce the kit components once they are designed.An upper division fluid mechanics class will use laboratory sessions to measure and compare the performance of the freshman teams' vortex tubes.Design, CAD and team dynamic are essential components of the learning 10 .
