The project-based learning approach is adopted to engage students in the study effectively. This active learning method allows students to actively participate in research activities, from setting project goals to designing and executing experiments. The article highlights the positive impact of project-based learning on students’ learning outcomes through internal and external evaluations. The study shows that project-based learning enhances technical competence and encourages a lifelong passion for learning. The cost-effectiveness of the hydraulic analogy method inspires neighbouring academic institutions to consider similar approaches, further promoting the use of practical and affordable solutions for flow visualization experiments.","PeriodicalId":39952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education","volume":"55 35","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139441754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article introduces a learning-centred CFD course that aims to train critical users of commercial CFD codes. The main features of the course include a project-based approach to learning and assessment-guided learning activities, both scaffolded by technologies. The implementation of the course is informed by contemporary pedagogical theories that encourage students to have the ownership of their own learning and constructively build their knowledge in an inclusive and supportive learning environment. The students upon completing the course have developed a conceptual understanding of the CFD principles and the importance of performing CFD simulations in a critical way, making them ready for more advanced CFD learning and practices. Course evaluation based on feedback from various sources demonstrates that the learning-centred approach is the key to the success of the course.","PeriodicalId":39952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education","volume":"29 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139389228","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since this discipline requires a strong theoretical foundation coupled with significant practical application, it is essential to provide students with the necessary tools and content to gain a comprehensive understanding of the subject through engaging and applied case studies. This article presents the teaching methodology of a structural dynamics course, incorporating practical real-world cases that cover the most crucial components of the syllabus. Simulation tools and numerical analysis are applied through the course as support. Additionally, experimental activities are designed to complement the theoretical knowledge, ranging from simple student-conducted experiments to more complex laboratory activities involving specialized equipment and real-life field measurements.

Implementation of cost-effective solutions of social constructivism in higher education is a challenge. The paper circumnavigates around the principle and practice methods and implemented in a module design for robotics teaching to students from diverse academic backgrounds and familiarity levels. A gap analysis between the current practices of a generalized module design and a social constructive approach revealed the specific areas for a focussed approach to consider. Such strategies are employed in the module redesigning strategy and found cost-effective and impactful in Engineering higher education. The designed module is presented to engineering students in an integrated robotics education in the context of control, communication, sensing and biomechatronics.

Analogous to reverse engineering, the strategy instructs engineering students from final product to model creation, closing the gap between theory and practice. Incorporating 3D printing bridges this divide, enhancing understanding, creativity and problem-solving. The study underscores technology's influence on learning strategies, aligning with the surge of 3D printing in education.

Therefore, engineers have always developed graphic procedures to solve these problems, one technique being Mohr's circle. The study of geometric properties of the cross-sections, plane stress, and plane strain are some applications of such techniques in Solid Mechanics. In practically all literature adopted in undergraduate courses on these topics, the efforts of authors to teach with the greatest clarity are remarkable, using all possible resources in books, with very well-designed graphics. However, concerning Mohr's circle, the mental visualization of some movement is needed, be it the rotation of points on the circle, the rotation of the cross-section, the axes, or the differential element. This need makes such topics ideal to be taught through interactive animations, impossible in books. Computer programs about these subjects do exist, however, with reduced user interactivity. Thus, this work presents a new unified mobile application with several useful interactivity features for teaching plane stress, plane strain, and moment of inertia in engineering courses, using Mohr's circle. The application is developed in Java programming language, using Android Studio software. The graphical environment was developed with the aim of being a didactic and intuitive way to study and learn about cross-section properties, plane stress, and plane strain. The results provided by the application are compared with examples from the literature, presenting accurate responses, with easy visualization and interpretation. The usage of the program makes studying the initial concepts of solid mechanics and Mohr's circle enjoyable for engineering students.","PeriodicalId":39952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education","volume":"63 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139252970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Designing curricula that equip graduates with the skills and attributes necessary to gain and retain employment is a challenge for Universities worldwide. This article investigates the perception differential between students, academics, and industry professionals. The aim is to identify the relevant skills and attributes to facilitate the transition of mechanical engineering graduates from education to employment. The results establish an upper second-class degree as the most desirable qualification. Studying a professional-body accredited course and being a student member of a professional institution are seen as crucial, despite the latter not being recognised as such by students. Significant differences are identified in the importance of Information Technology skills and software packages, with an institutional bias identified amongst academics. Lastly, the key skills and attributes to secure graduate employment are determined, with striking differences between industry professionals and students, the former desiring a personal and professional attitude and professional conduct above all else, the importance of which is underestimated by students. The findings provide novel insights into employability skills for mechanical engineers, and it is envisaged they may contribute to aligning engineering curricula with employer expectations, allowing graduates and academics to identify key employability skills and attributes, and improving graduate employment.","PeriodicalId":39952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education","volume":"225 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139259035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Surprisingly, this important topic is absent in textbooks on heat transfer. The exact evaluation of the dimensionless surface temperatures varying with the dimensionless time in the regular bodies over the entire dimensionless time domain [Formula: see text] is carried out with a symbolic algebra code. Thereafter, regression analysis is applied to the data gathered for the dimensionless surface temperatures varying with the dimensionless time of the regular bodies inside the dimensionless “small time” time sub-domains [Formula: see text]. The dimensionless threshold time [Formula: see text] is a decisive parameter that establishes the borderline between the “small time” sub-domain [Formula: see text] and the “large time” sub-domain [Formula: see text] comprising the entire dimensionless time domain [Formula: see text]. Based on regression analysis, compact asymptotes are constructed for the dimensionless surface temperatures varying with the dimensionless time inside the dimensionless “small time” sub-domain [Formula: see text]. At the end, agreements with the dimensionless exact, analytical surface temperature distributions (the baseline solutions) valid for the dimensionless time sub-domain [Formula: see text]. are considered of excellent quality.","PeriodicalId":39952,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Mechanical Engineering Education","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2023-09-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48114591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
