, in many Engineering programs, Dimensional Analysis and Similitude are not taught in the first year of theprogram, but instead are taught in the second or third year of many Engineering students' curriculum, if at all. FluidMechanics is usually the first course in which Mechanical Engineering students encounter the concepts of DimensionalAnalysis and Similitude, learning the importance of the Reynolds Number to Flow Theory. But, many other Engineeringdisciplines only give their students a rudimentary understanding of Dimensional Analysis and Similitude prior to graduation.A novel method of teaching the fundamental skills involved in Dimensional Analysis and Similitude is described in thispaper. This teaching methodology incorporates the fact

When the mouse is over an argument’s value,an explanation message will appear at the bottom of the command view. To change anargument’s value, the user needs only to click the left mouse button and drag the mouse. Moreimportantly, the order of these OpenGL functions is also changeable. Changing the order ofOpenGL functions in a program may produce totally different results. In our demos thesechanges are reflected immediately in both the world-space view and the screen

The main hypothesis in the study is that manyof the problems that students encounter in learning abstract conceptual mathematics are due to thefact that it has mainly been presented to them in an abstract, context-free manner. Abstractconceptual thinking is the product of learning sought for, but it is not necessarily the way to bringabout conceptual understanding. To develop deep abstract conceptual thinking in mathematics,students have to experience contextualized mathematics by relating it to their own experience andconnecting it to the concrete instances from

Additionally, this practice gives students better feedback and savesprofessors time (Pascal, et al 2020).At large universities, differentiated learning typically takes the form of a common class taughtdifferently across different degrees. For instance, Fluid Mechanics may be taught in aMechanical Engineering program, a Civil Engineering program, and an Aerospace Engineeringprogram, and look drastically different in each course.

Unfortunately, most university programs providethe basic knowledge of manufacturing engineering as disjointed material until some sort ofcapstone experience. Thus, the synthesis of information needed to solve most engineeringproblems from different courses can be difficult for students.
