CourseThe Applied Fluid Mechanics course (MET 4100) is an upper division core course in the METprogram and the second in the sequence of fluid mechanics coursework, following Fluid &Hydraulic Mechanics (MET 2050). This four-credit hour (ch) course consists of a 3ch lectureand a 1ch laboratory. During the Fall 2021 semester, the course was offered as a face-to-face(F2F) on campus. To increase the accessibility to the lectures for those students not able to attendthem in person due to COVID issues, the authors developed the course more like a blendedexperience than a F2F course, using the Blackboard platform to post lectures, course materials,instructional aids, and assignment submissions. Simultaneously, all the lectures were

Both classes were taught in previous iterations of the course utilizing physicalcircuitry components. However, in the transition from typical to remote instruction, these labscontinued to include the same circuit-building activities. Regardless of iteration, these classeswere both performed by students in groups of 3-4.The

This is a laboratory-oriented course in which the students workas a team to design and develop working automated manufacturing cells involving machining and/or assemblytasks. Students are required to design and build the appropriate fixtures, robot grippers, electronic systems,etc. and write the complete protocol and software for the machining/assembly operation. In the early weeks ofthe course, the laboratory work involves primarily “demonstration” experiments to acquaint students with thelarger hardware available in the laboratory. This equipment includes robots, machine tools and programmablecontrollers, as well as the appropriate programming and control software needed to utilize them
