Connecting Laboratory and Conceptual/Theoretical Components of Undergraduate Core Engineering Courses

明尼苏达大学“连接本科核心工程课程的实验室和概念/理论组成部分”D. Fennel Evans， PI， Karl Smith和Vaughan Voller，共同PI该奖项资助了明尼苏达大学工程研究中心，该中心名为界面工程中心，用于开发基于计算机的教学材料，用于运输现象的核心本科课程。这些材料将包括流体流动和传热以及相互作用流体流动和传热实验室模拟的基本内容模块。这些模拟将允许学生组装并进行自己的实验。将从该中心的系统级研究和工业应用中抽取实例，例如，涂层流机，聚合物浸渍，雾化工艺，工业水净化和废物处理系统，不可混溶聚合物系统的反应性混合以及聚氨酯泡沫的生产。将在光盘只读存储器和万维网上制作材料。将通过为工程学院提供教学指南和支持讲习班来加强分发。

ABSTRACT EEC-9711743 University of Minnesota "Connecting Laboratory and Conceptual/Theoretical Components of Undergraduate Core Engineering Courses" D. Fennel Evans, PI and Karl Smith and Vaughan Voller, Co-PI This award funds the Engineering Research Center at the University of Minnesota entitled the Center for Interfacial Engineering to develop computer based instructional materials for use in core undergraduate courses in transport phenomena. These materials will include basic content modules in fluid flow and heat transfer and interactive fluid flow and heat transfer laboratory simulations. These simulations will allow students to assemble and conduct their own experiments. Examples will be drawn from the Center's systems level research and industrial applications, e.g., a coating flow machine, polymer impregnation, atomization processes, industrial water purification and waste treatment system, reactive blending of immisible polymer systems, and production of polyurethane foams. Materials will be produced on CD-ROM and the World Wide Web. Distribution will be enhanced by accompanying teaching guides and supporting workshops for engineering faculty.
