In Progress: Lab on Cart: Developing a Low-Cost Fluid Visualization Setup for Experiential Learning, Class Demonstration and OutreachAbstractDespite being present in many natural phenomena and engineering systems, fluid dynamics isoften perceived as difficult and mysterious by students. The transparency of common fluids (airand water) and the complex, non-linearity of the governing equations make understanding thesedynamics challenging.Flow visualization has been shown to be an effective method for teaching complex fluid dynamicsto a general audience. The streamlines over a car prototype in a wind tunnel, or the vortexformation of a hurricane, to name a couple, have become household images confirming the efficacyof this technique

presented or simply the desire torevise an existing laboratory course, many universities are attempting to modernizeundergraduate laboratory experiences. Coupled with diminishing budgets and increasedaccountability for expenditures, many universities are turning to on-line, virtual laboratories.Virtual laboratories are often cited as being cost effective and having high availability to thestudents. This method does not give students the hands-on experience, however. Our solution toaddress the issue of modernization bounded by economics is through using LEGO® bricks.

Another study surveyed faculty at amedium-sized, research active, private institute and found that there is a weak safety culturewithin academia [7].Engineering student societies serve as an extension of a student’s formal learning from the theoryand lab-based classes into actual practice. Studies on safety in academic settings generally focuson academic research laboratories with graduate students and postdoctoral researchers (e.g. [9],[10], [11]) or focus on formal learning such as laboratory sessions or classroom teaching (e.g.[12], [13]).

Using soft robotics specifically can offer a unique approach to learning as it encourages students toproblem solve using a creative, adaptable, and entrepreneurial mindset. The project is also designed tointegrate healthy competition among students which further encourages student involvement. Moreover,exposing students to soft robotics can provide a new perspective of problem-solving for the next generationof engineers.The entirety of this module was developed as part of a design project completed by junior and seniormechanical engineering students which gives strengths to the feasibility of
