Despite being aradical departure from typical engineering curricula, the course was very successful in attractinga diverse group of graduate and undergraduate students, particularly women studyingengineering. One of the key outcomes of the course was the recognition by students of theaesthetic value of fluid physics and the motivation it provided for life-long learning.Course Objectives and DescriptionThis course offers a unique blend of scientific and artistic techniques for visualizing fluid flowsin the laboratory and in everyday life. Through hands-on exploration, students learn to use dyesand particles to create visual representations of the physics of fluid flow. They also gain

Key topics include stress andstrain analysis, axial loading, torsion, shear and bending stresses, deflection of beams, combinedloading, stress transformation, and failure criteria.Two of the key fundamental concepts that students are introduced to in this course are UltimateTensile Strength (UTS) and the angle of twist, which play crucial roles in understanding howmaterials respond to forces. UTS, for instance, represents the maximum stress a material canendure before it breaks, providing valuable information about the material’s strength andreliability under tension.
