it could demandstudents understand the fundamentals while concepts with greater complexity would allowstudents to use the reference data card along with a student-provided note sheet. This would seekto help channel the desired learning reflection and review process that stems from the creation ofsuch a note sheet. Then, in the spirit of assessing the real-world environment as would be donewith “open-everything” assessments, a design project and two laboratory analyses wouldauthorize use of the textbook, notes, internet, and collaboration with others, to form a trulyrealistic engineering environment sought by this approach. In addition to this theory, instructor experience teaching various engineering coursesacross the department

These studies have yielded positive results on group basedteaching. This success has been attributed mostly to the increased peer interaction and activeparticipation during the lessons. On the other hand, there is considerable evidence collected byresearchers in physics teaching and learning that traditional instructional methods - largelylecture and problem solving - are not effective in promoting conceptual learning in physics.There is also widespread evidence that active learning methods enhance the conceptualknowledge of students8-10.

At the undergraduate level, we believe that FLUENT can be integrated intothe current mainstream fluid mechanics through examples of fluid mechanics problems solvingtechniques. Although a degree of uncertainty exists using the software as opposed to actual real-world analysis of the fluid mechanics process, the increased experience in using computationalsoftware allows the student to model the real world phenomena both graphically and analytically. Inthis paper, we will share some experiences and views on teaching and learning fluid mechanicscourse

Students with this learning style benefit from theoreticalcoursework that is heavily reinforced with hands-on laboratory experiences. Although there areseveral lab components in these courses, they do not always address the core concepts that thestudents are struggling with. Classroom exercises are developed to help students betterunderstand certain important concepts in thermal-fluid sciences. This paper presents thedevelopment of classroom exercises for the pressure of fluid.

In addition, the fact that almost all theprofessors of the Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science department (MPCS)are very proficient with MAPLE, is probably another reason favouring its adoption.Indeed, several personal computers located in our offices carry MAPLE.
