Software to Augment Educational Experiences in Undergraduate Engineering Fluid Laboratories

工程-机械（56）这个概念验证项目的目标是构建和分发教育软件和超文本，以增加学生在工程教室和实验室的教育经验。这一努力集中在三种情况下的基本流体力学实验室材料。在此项目成功完成后，可以在传热、结构力学、半导体物理、电磁学和静电学等领域构建其他实验室材料。该软件以几种形式开发：可执行二进制文件、数字图像、HTML文本和电影文件。大部分材料都是由阿肯色州理工大学流体力学实验室进行的实际实验案例组成的。对实验案例进行了详细的计算模拟，并给出了解释。通过问卷调查和直接互动，学生在选择和展示这些材料方面发挥作用。其他大学正在对开发的软件进行少量的beta测试（以CD-ROM的形式）。

Engineering - Mechanical (56) The goal of this proof of concept project is the construction and distribution of educational software and hypertext that will augment students' educational experience in engineering classrooms and laboratories. This effort concentrates on three cases of fundamental fluid mechanics laboratory material. Upon successful completion of this project, other laboratory materials can be constructed in areas such as heat transfer, structural mechanics, semiconductor physics, electromagnetics, and electrostatics. The software is being developed in several forms: executable binaries, digital images, HTML text, and movie files. Much of the material consists of actual experimental cases carried out in Arkansas Tech University's fluid mechanics laboratory. Detailed computational simulations of the experimental cases are also carried out and included with explanations. Students are playing a role in the selection and presentation of this material, through questionnaires and direct interaction. A small number of beta tests of the software developed (in the form of a CD-ROM) are being carried out at other universities.
