Enhancing the Connection to Undergraduate Engineering Students: A Hands-on and Team-Based Approach to Fluid Mechanics
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article provides information about the integration of innovative hands-on activities within a sophomore-level Fluid Mechanics course at *** University (name withheld to uphold blind review process). The course introduces students to the fundamentals of fluid mechanics with emphasis on teaching key equations and methods of analysis for solving real-world problems. Strategies and examples for moving beyond a traditional lecture-based course are shared, with links highlighting various media used in the course. Implementation of an end-of-semester survey, examples of student performance on select assignments, and qualitative feedback from students indicate the effectiveness of these hands-on activities designed to increase student engagement.
