Interactive Aerodynamics Analysis and Design Programs for Use in the Undergraduate Engineering Curriculum
نویسندگان
چکیده
A computer program for the aerodynamic design and analysis of airfoils is described. This program is intended for use in an undergraduate aerospace engineering curriculum. It allows the students to interactively change the airfoil shape, thickness and camber as well as flight conditions, and allows the student to design airfoils subject to a specified pressure distribution over the surface. The mathematical and physical formulation of the analysis and design phases of the program are described, and several sample applications are presented.

Re-engineering Aerodynamics Education
Aerodynamics curriculum in undergraduate engineering has reached a critical juncture forcing the need for change in the traditional, largely theoretical curriculum and lecturer/listener pedagogy. The role of aerodynamics in aerospace engineering, while still important, is no longer the dominant driver in aircraft design. Furthermore, industry, government, and academia --the likely employers of ...

متن کاملMaterialSim: A Constructionist Agent-Based Modeling Approach to Engineering Education
For the past two decades, the engineering education community has started to come to terms with an unfortunate paradox: despite a view of engineering as the ultimate design profession, very little actual experience in design is incorporated into undergraduate engineering curricula. Recently, pressured by decreasing enrollment, unmotivated students, and an avalanche of new demands from the job m...
متن کاملSuggestion Pattern for Task-Based Curriculum design in Nursing Master’s Degree according to Aker
Introduction: The assignment-based approach is an educational strategy that emphasizes learning by doing tasks. In this approach, the learner learns how to act in different situations, and this approach teaches skills that are similar to the tasks that the learner encounters in the real world and in practice. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to design an optimal assignment-based curricu...
متن کاملImproving Architectural Design Skills with Design-Based Learning of New Structures
The purposeful and applied learning of Structures as a pillar of architectural design is very important. The current educational content of Structures in architecture departments is based on theoretical discussions, mathematical formulas, and lecture-oriented material. As a result, students are incompetent in applying practical concepts and structural formal analyses to architectural design. Ef...
