Summary

"In education, acquiring digital skills is becoming increasingly important. At the same time, the possibilities of MS Excel in technical fields are endless. Combining these two aspects shows us how fun and engaging it can be to have students perform simulation calculations in Excel. The principle of heat exchange is a key concept in energy education. Such processes are widely represented in thermal engineering. Two lecturers from the University of Applied Sciences Utrecht have developed a unique method to teach students something new."
