Thermofluid Dynamics: CD-ROMs for Engineering Education

工程-机械（56）这是一个基于成功的概念验证拨款（NSF奖号9952653）的全面发展提案，展示了一种创新的方法来为高年级本科工程教育提供材料。视觉材料在传达技术概念方面的价值是非常明确的，并且在这里以多媒体形式应用于热流体动力学（即对流传热，热力学和气体动力学）的主题，强调实验和光流可视化。结果是将材料捕获在一个或多个cd - rom上，可供教师和学生使用，作为有关这些主题的任何标准教科书的视觉补充。这类材料是否适合在全国传播已经得到证明。这种方法利用了普及性和低成本的CD-ROM技术，这对于有时缺乏设备将实验室经验直接传达给学生的小型和少数民族大学尤为重要。SMET面临的主要挑战是如何利用目前无法获得的高度可视化的材料来加强传统的工程教育，从而向学生传达一种研究实验室体验的感觉。DUE的另一个主题是教师发展，通过为教师提供一种不同寻常的辅助教学工具，从而拓宽他们的准备范围，超越传统的教科书。技术集成也是这个项目的一个组成部分。也就是说，在学习过程中，课程材料要求学生使用计算机并与多媒体系统环境进行交互。关键词：多媒体，多媒体流体力学，光流可视化。

Engineering - Mechanical (56)This is a Full-Scale-Development Proposal based on a successful Proof-of-Concept Grant(NSF Award No. 9952653) demonstrating an innovative approach to materials for upper-division undergraduate engineering education. The value of visual materials in conveying technical concepts is very well established, and is here applied in a multimedia form to the topic of thermofluid dynamics (i.e. convective heat transfer, thermodynamics, and gas dynamics), with strong emphasis on experimentation and optical flow visualization. The results are materials captured on one or more CD-ROMs that can be used by instructors and students as a visual supplement to any of the standard textbooks on these topics. The suitability of such materials for national dissemination has already been demonstrated.This approach makes use of the ubiquity and low-cost of CD-ROM technology, which makes it especially important for small and minority universities that sometimes lack the facilities to convey the laboratory experience directly to their students. Themajor SMET challenge being addressed is that of enhancing traditional engineering education with highly-visual material not currently available, and thus conveying to students a sense of the research-laboratory experience. One DUE theme also addressed here is faculty development, by providing faculty with an unusual supplementary teaching tool, thus broadening their preparation beyond what is traditionally availablein textbooks. Integration of technology is also a component part of this project. That is,during the learning, the course materials require the students to use computers and to interface with multimedia systems environments.Keywords: Multimedia, multimedia fluid mechanics, optical flow visualization.
