“…The CFD method has been used as a teaching resource for university studies, specifically, for undergraduate courses in engineering [12][13][14]. Nevertheless, simulation methods such as CFD and FEM are frequently offered as specific elective course in many academic institutions around the world for the acquisition of competence in simulation [1].…”

Simulation activities are a useful tool to improve competence in industrial engineering bachelors. Specifically, fluid simulation allows students to acquire important skills to strengthen their theoretical knowledge and improve their future professional career. However, these tools usually require long training times and they are usually not available in the subjects of B.Sc. degrees. In this article, a new methodology based on short lessons is raised and evaluated in the fluid-mechanical subject for students enrolled in three different bachelor degree groups: B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering, B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering and B.Sc. in Electronic and Automatic Engineering. Statistical results show a good acceptance in terms of usability, learning, motivation, thinking over, satisfaction and scalability. Additionally, a machine-learning based approach was applied to find group peculiarities and differences among them in order to identify the need for further personalization of the learning activity.

“…The students who completed all three steps of the method performed better and the quality of their lab reports reflected it well. There are other studies in the literature [1,4,20–23] that support the benefits of CFD in engineering education to back up this claim, as described below.…”

The growth of the Brazilian economy has resulted in an increased demand for engineers and the expansion of Brazilian Universities. As for the teaching of unit operations, a lack of interactive and illustrative courseware was observed. The modeling and simulation tools are excellent alternatives to predict the particle and fluid dynamics and have been used in the design and optimization of industry equipment, providing information in areas where it is difficult to acquire experimental measurements. This paper shows simulations using the computational fluid dynamics technique of the exercises presented in a course on solid-fluid separation in the gravitational field, such as sand chambers, dust chamber, horizontal and vertical elutriators. The effect of size, shape, and density of particles on the collection efficiency was evaluated. Figures and videos generated in this study will facilitate students' understanding of the phenomena involved in the particle collection inside those separation devices.

“…Vicens and Zamora and Pujol et al have observed that the inclusion of CFD in the hydraulic machinery courses enables students to better appreciate the concepts and prepares them for research by improving the analytical abilities. They also believe that integration of physical experiments and CFD simulations tremendously improves the efficiency of the teaching and learning process.…”

In this paper, results of an integrated numerical and physical experiments on the standard orifice meter and the modified orifice meter are presented. These experiments were conducted as part of the computational fluid dynamics course offered in Curtin University, Malaysia. Experiments were selected from prior courses such as fluid mechanics and heat transfer with a view to reinforce the concepts already learnt. Students also conducted literature survey, which keeps them up‐to‐date on the chosen topic of study.
