The plate and frame filtration experiment is one of the essential experiments performed by undergraduate students during their practical education. While this experiment often relies on the conventional manual recording of data and calculation, there are frequent problems with data collection because capturing transient data of filtrate volume and corresponding time synchronously is challenging during the operation. We demonstrated herein a computer-based recording and calculation technique with automatic image generation and digital analysis for the filtration experiment. Using a Python-based program coupled with an Internet platform, students were able to determine the math function and then compute the desired constants efficiently. No prior knowledge of coding or programming was required of the students. Moreover, the students and instructors gave positive feedback on the developed app, which showcased the practical feasibility of applying such an inexpensive platform.

“…Therefore, the use of commercial software to improve the design is essential and it makes the students practicing engineers and it improves their apparent competence, learning satisfaction and self-efficacy. [1][2][3][4][5] The employment of simulation software in nursing education is equally important. [6][7][8] The simulation software also improves students learning with real-life engineering problems to enhance the students' discipline knowledge and problem-solving skills.…”

The School of Engineering and Technology of Central Queensland University focuses on the continuous development and innovation of best learning and teaching practices to increase student retention and improve their learning experiences. Face to face and distance learning (teaching delivery models) are fundamental aspects of providing quality support to the students’ learning. One incredibly important aspect of students’ learning is to provide relevant industry-related projects and applications of relevant simulation software to mimic the systems. This paper develops students’ essential problem-solving skills and control strategies of fluid power systems in mechanical engineering through the Master of Engineering programs by employing Simulink, SimScape Fluid applications in Matlab software and Energy Plus with Design Builder. The main focus is to ensure that the students achieve the required skills of building fluid circuit models based on physical connections that directly integrate with appropriate symbols and modelling paradigms in fluid power applications to model the appropriate physical models to mimic the industrial fluid power projects selected. The basic ideas and content are to be delivered through weekly lectures and tutorial sessions, and the students’ skills in fluid power systems and software are developed and monitored through weekly workshops scheduled for all projects. The key outcomes of this study are the level of understanding of fluid power systems, development of simulation skills using the software indicated, interpretation of the results the students have obtained and validations of those results. The students must show they have developed appropriate problem-solving skills using simulation software, professional presentation and effective team-building skills. As the students develop appropriate problem-solving and engineering practice skills, their satisfaction and feedback rates improve significantly.
