Topology-Optimization-Based Learning: A Powerful Teaching and Learning Framework under the Prism of the CDIO Approach

Topology optimization (TO) has been a useful engineering tool over the last decades. The benefits of this method are several, such as material and cost savings, design inspiration, robustness final products. In addition, there educational benefits. TO is combination mathematics, design, statics, finite element (FEM); thus, it can provide an integrative multi-disciplinary knowledge foundation to undergraduate students in engineering. This paper focused on contributions from identifies effective teaching methods, tools, exercises that be used for teaching. result research development framework about based CDIO (Conceive, Design, Implement, Operate) Syllabus CAD studies at universities. could easily adapted designers every academic year individual course or module related courses. Lecturers interested introduction their courses, well engineers general, use findings paper.
