To address this demand, many universities haveincorporated CFD education into their undergraduate mechanical and aerospace engineeringcurriculum 1,2,3 . A comprehensive review of existing undergraduate CFD courses can be found inLi and Cheung 4 .A key challenge in educating future computational fluid dynamics (CFD) professionals lies inbridging the gap between theoretical understanding and practical application.

Virtual labs,which allow students to conduct experiments in a computer-simulated environment, can providea viable and effective solution for online courses that require hands-on labs.Virtual Labs offer numerous advantages that can complement, and in some cases even replace,traditional in-person labs. Many educational institutions, including secondary schools and highereducation institutions, face challenges in terms of establishing and maintaining traditional labs,such as high costs, space constraints, limited accessibility, among others. Virtual Labs, on theother hand, can simulate many of the experiences of a physical lab, allowing students to conductexperiments, gather data, and analyze

Pedagogically, it uses active and problem-based learning using contexts moreoriented towards the needs of engineering students than typical generic “intro programming”courses.
