Drs. Milanovic and Eppes Present at ASME Conference in Toronto
Ivana Milanovic, professor of mechanical engineering, CETA, Tom Eppes, professor of electrical & computer engineering, CETA, and Kalyan Goparaju, senior engineer at ANSYS, Inc. presented and published a paper at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Fluids Engineering Division Summer Meeting (FEDSM). The FEDSM 2022 conference brought together international researchers and engineers focusing on fluid flow in a variety of applications. The objectives of the meeting were to provide a forum for the presentation of state-of-the-art research and opportunities for technical interactions among participants.
The paper, ‘e-Designation for Compressible Aerodynamics Course,’ builds on the authors’ previous work on the use of simulations in the lecture-based engineering courses and expands it to a new undergraduate course (Gas Dynamics). The goals are to bring forward elements of the new digital aerospace engineering process, ensure students’ engagement from the beginning, and increase the time students invest in learning. The significance of our approach and its success are illustrated with qualitative and quantitative evidence. Qualitative data provide examples of student work, while quantitative assessment of students’ understanding and confidence in the comprehension of select concepts includes grades, student surveys, and course evaluations.
Dr. Milanovic also organized the topic: Advances in Fluids Engineering Education. This marked the 19th consecutive year of her activities on the Fluid Mechanics Technical Committee.
