摘要
Teaching modules for complementary computational and experimental fluid mechanics and uncertainty analysis were developed to integrate simulation technology into undergraduate engineering courses and laboratories. Engineering faculties from a range of public and private universities and the software partner Fluent, Inc. have collaborated to develop, implement, evaluate, and disseminate web-based teaching modules utilising simulation technology based on further development of the commercial software, FlowLab. The first two years' formative and summative student evaluation data identified successful leaning outcomes, as well as strategies for improvement, including the need for an efficient, hands-on, 'computational fluid dynamics educational interface' to better simulate engineering practice.
