ETD 515 Introducing CFD Concepts in an Applied Fluid Mechanics Course Maurizio Manzo University of North TexasAbstractThe use of computational fluid dynamics in engineering technology courses result in manychallenges due to the lack of differential equations knowledge. However, CFD is usually usefulfor technology students during their capstone design, especially when dealing with fluidcomponents design such as valves, sprinkler systems, heat exchangers. Most of the time,instructors just show one or two slides about the existence of CFD in their fluid mechanicscourses

?Like all educational institutions across the world, the California State University MaritimeAcademy (CSUM), has the same questions and concerns, especially in the context of its EPO-125 (Introduction to Marine Engineering course). While EPO-125 is paramount for aspiringmarine engineers, it’s fundamentally rich in academic and technical content, while also requiringpractical hands-on application to cement course material. Unfortunately, compared to chemistryor mathematics, Marine engineering is not a popular subject, resulting in a lack of relevant andcurrent textbooks. Traditionally, in lieu of textbooks the students utilized online resources suchas Google and YouTube. According to informal student surveys and discussions, ChatGPT isnow the de
