Collaborative Research: Integration of Simulation Technology into Undergraduate Engineering Courses and Laboratories

工程-机械（56）该项目的目标是通过开发辅助计算流体动力学（CFD）、实验流体动力学（EFD）和不确定性分析（UA）的教学模块（TM），将模拟技术整合到本科教育中，用于本科流体力学课程和实验室的教学。来自小型和大型公立、小型私立和小型历史上少数民族私立大学的工程学院的教师合作伙伴正在合作开发TM，有效实施、评估、传播和使用基于网络的模拟技术的教学方法。评估计划包括与爱荷华大学、教育学院、心理学系和定量基础以及评估评估中心的教师合作。TM包括三个部分：1)关于CFD和EFD方法、标准程序和UA的讲座；2)用于商业工业CFD软件学术使用的CFD模板；3)使用CFD模板和补充EFD和UA的练习笔记。商用的工业CFD软件是FLUENT， http://www.fluent.com/，是众多行业和高校广泛使用的CFD软件，也是目前工作中的合作伙伴。教师发展活动发生在TM生产的第1)和第3)部分，在第2)部分，教师发展活动发生在生成TM规范和与FLUENT合作设计CFD模板的过程中。FLUENT提供CFD模板的软件开发和测试；培训教员使用CFD模板；在国内/国际上自行维持的基于网络的TM分发，包括所有部分(1)-3)；以及免费的教师使用FLUENT/Flowlab。教师合作伙伴将每年举行会议，以开发TM，并与FLUENT/Flowlab进行协作和培训。TM的初始功能是基于1999年春季学期、2000年秋季学期和2001年春季学期在爱荷华大学进行的概念验证中开发的功能。该项目是由爱荷华大学（0126589）、爱荷华州立大学（0127459）、霍华德大学（0127932）和康奈尔大学（0127464）合作完成的。关键词：FLUENT， Flowlab，教学模块，计算流体力学，实验流体力学，不确定性分析

Engineering - Mechanical (56)The objective of this project is the integration of simulation technology into undergraduate education through the development of teaching modules (TM) for complementary computational fluid dynamics (CFD), experimental fluid dynamics (EFD), and uncertainty analysis (UA) for use in teaching undergraduate fluid mechanics courses and laboratories. Faculty partners from colleges of engineering at small and large public, small private, and small historically minority private universities are collaborating on the development of the TM, the effective implementation, the evaluation, the dissemination, and the pedagogy of simulation technology using web-based techniques. The evaluation plan includes collaboration with faculty from the University of Iowa, College of Education, the Department of Psychology and Quantitative Foundation and Center for Evaluation Assessment. The TM include three parts: 1) lectures on CFD and EFD methodology and standard procedures and UA; 2) CFD templates for academic use of commercial industrial CFD software; 3) exercise notes for use of CFD templates and complementary EFD and UA. The commercial industrial CFD software is FLUENT, http://www.fluent.com/, which is a widely used CFD software in many industries and universities and a partner in the present work. Faculty development activities are occurring in parts 1) and 3) of the production of the TM, and during part 2), faculty development activities are occurring during the generation of TM specifications and collaboration with FLUENT on design of CFD templates. FLUENT is providing software development and testing of CFD templates; training of faculty in the use of CFD templates; national/international self-sustaining web-based distribution of the TM, including all parts 1) -3); and free faculty use of FLUENT/Flowlab. Faculty partners will meet yearly for development of the TM and collaboration and training with FLUENT/Flowlab. The initial capability of the TM are based on those capabilities developed in the proof-of-concept at The University of Iowa in spring semester 1999, fall semester 2000, and spring semester 2001. The results from this prior effort may be reviewed at http://www.icaen.uiwa.edu/~fluids/.This project is a collaborative between the University of Iowa (0126589), Iowa State University (0127459), Howard University (0127932) and Cornell University (0127464).Keywords: FLUENT, Flowlab, teaching modules, computational fluid dynamics, experimental fluid dynamics, uncertainty analysis.
