Session 2353 Teaching Failure Analysis as an Independent Design Experience David V. Niebuhr California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, CA 93407AbstractFailure analysis of an engineering component is similar to building a puzzle with only some ofthe pieces. The engineer is left to interpret the data and make an educated conclusion.Undergraduate engineers, while enjoying the investigative experience, are somewhat intimidatedby the many unknowns. In this course students select a failed engineering component andinvestigate the source of its demise. The evolution of the failure analysis course over 5 years isdescribed, as

The course instructors had been using a pre-assessment at the start of the course fora few years, so we have several years’ worth of baseline data. The final exam used similar itemsto previous semesters for comparison on key ideas. Students were randomly assigned to sectionsto avoid bias in any of the groups. Students were required to also enroll in chemistry laboratoryclasses. The laboratory sections were not yet revised during this study period.

In thefirst type, students need strong mathematical background to succeed in the class and also needfurther training to effectively use modern commercial software for real industrial application.While in the second type, students only learned an abstract form of CFD processes, thus they willnot be able to use CFD commercial software without further training in this area.This paper is about the use of CFD in teaching graduate students at this university who were in atwo year design track program.

However, during the COVID-19pandemic, the faculty are asked to choose among five teaching modalities that cope with the pandemic.The teaching modalities offered by the university are ‘Traditional Classroom/Laboratory,’ ‘BlendedHybrid,’ ‘Flexible mode,’ ‘Remote Virtual,’ and ‘Online.’It is important to note that a complete learning management system [1] is widely implemented acrossthe
