This review will give emphasis to the concept of demonstrative teaching to better improve the learning process of students in fluid mechanics. This paper is going to tackle the possible techniques students do to gain a better understanding of the concepts of fluid mechanics. With that, this review will also look at the impact of learning towards the students based on the number of demonstrations that they are making. This is where we will find out if there is a significant difference in the results with respect to the number of demonstrations performed. This paper will also discuss the most appropriate approach a beginner may take in handling a fluid mechanics class.

This present work cracks to understand the relationship between final marks in a topic with competences that are core of Chemical Engineering and students' access grades to a Portuguese Higher Education Institution (HEI). The study is based on data gathered through a questionnaire concerning students' perceptions about assessment and teaching-learning methodologies in four academic years (2016-2017 to 2019-2020). The student´s access grades were included in the questionnaire since 2018-19 academic year allowing to establish a relationship with the final marks obtained in a core Chemical Engineering Topic, Fluid Mechanics. From the analysis made, it can be said that students who obtained higher access grades to HEI may have also a higher Chemical Engineering curricular unit final mark, although the low linear relationship obtained (r =0.45) for the year 2019-20.

“…To fulfil the main objective of this study, the impact of the changes regarding knowledge assessment changes in a Fluid Mechanics course, it is important to analyse the students' opinion. Therefore, a questionnaire was developed [19,20] to obtain the students' perceptions not only regarding the assessment methodology, but also identifying teaching/learning methodologies. The assessment methodology for the academic years between 2006/07 and 2015/16 included only PW (at the Moment G3) and the two final exams (normal and supplementary periods of exams), with the exception of 2009/10, when students only had the two final exams (without the PW).…”

The main objective of this study is to evaluate students' perceptions regarding different methods of assessment and which teaching/learning methodologies may be the most effective in a Fluid Transport System course. The impact of the changes in the assessment methodology in the final students' grades and attendance at theoretical classes is also analysed, and the results show that students' attendance at theoretical classes changed significantly. The students prefer and consider more beneficial for their learning assessment through several questions/problems and small tests during theoretical lessons instead of a single moment of evaluation. For them, the traditional teaching/learning methodology is still considered the most effective one. At the same time, students perceive that the development of the Practical Work (PW) and several moments of assessment had positive repercussions on the way they focus on the course content and keep up with the subjects taught, providing knowledge on the area under study, encouraging collaborative work and stimulating the students' intellectual curiosity. Largely, students agree that the PW is an important tool in their learning process and recommend it as a teaching activity. In general, students are confident with the knowledge acquired with the PW and feel able to size fluid transport systems.
