Abstract (EN): The simple case study presented constitutes an illustrative example of how surprisingly rich an open-ended experimental problem may prove to be. This has involved an instrumented soft drink can and a PC as the starting point for a fruitful multidisciplinary investigation that ended up bringing together manpower and know-how from various engineering areas in a very rewarding cooperative teaching and learning exercise.
