As
an introduction to studying heat and mass transfer
balances the students make chocolate dipped Oreos.
They must carefully weigh each cookie before and
after being dipped in chocolate. The students have
to carefully account for all waste. In the end
they have experienced a simple batch process. They
have also learned first hand terminology to be
used in the course.
The
final result is a nutrition fact label for their
product.

The
best part about the challenge is getting to eat
the end result!
