We propose the conception, development, production, evaluation and dissemination of a series of interactive modules for the teaching and learning of fluid mechanics for undergraduates in science and engineering. The modules focus on fundamentals and will have impact across the curricula of Chemical, Mechanical, Petroleum, Aeronautical, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Oceanography, Meteorology, Geophysics, Applied Mathematics and Applied Physics. The primary objectives are to enhance student learning in the areas of (i) problem solving, (ii) intuition about complex flow phenomena, and (iii) retention of knowledge. These objectives will be met by providing experimental visualizations and computational simulations of fluid flow phenomena in an interactive medium, including student exercises and problems to be solved based on the material in the module. Three modules will be produced, with emphasis on Basic Concepts I & II, and Boundary Layer Phenomena. The modules will be developed, tested, evaluated and refined over a one year period, resulting in a final CD-ROM version. The final version will be disseminated through a commercial publishing house such as John Wiley and Sons. The project represents a national effort centered at MIT, Stanford University, and the University of Illinois, and involving researchers and educators drawn from the community at large. The organization consists of a working group of seven investigatorts, including undergraduate teachers of fluid mechanics, writers of successful textbooks, and researchers with specific expertise. The evaluation will involve both formative and summative components, and be conducted using graduate students from the Stanford School of Education.

我们提出了一系列互动模块的概念，开发，生产，评估和传播的流体力学的教学和学习的本科理工科。这些模块侧重于基础知识，并将对化学，机械，石油，航空，土木和环境工程，海洋学，气象学，地球物理学，应用数学和应用物理学的课程产生影响。主要目标是加强学生在以下领域的学习：（i）解决问题，（ii）对复杂流动现象的直觉，以及（iii）保留知识。这些目标将通过在交互式媒体中提供流体流动现象的实验可视化和计算模拟来实现，包括学生练习和基于模块中的材料解决的问题。 将制作三个单元，重点是基本概念一、二和边界层现象.这些单元将在一年时间内开发、测试、评价和完善，最后制成光盘。最后版本将通过John Wiley and Sons等商业出版社分发。 该项目代表了以麻省理工学院、斯坦福大学和伊利诺伊大学为中心的全国性努力，并涉及来自整个社区的研究人员和教育工作者。该组织由一个由七名教师组成的工作组组成，其中包括流体力学的本科教师，成功教科书的作者和具有特定专业知识的研究人员。 评价将包括形成性和总结性两个部分，由斯坦福大学教育学院的研究生进行。
