Development of the Visualization and Simulation Models in Material Technology and Failures Related Courses

Project Title

Development of the Visualization and Simulation Models in Material Technology and Failures Related Courses

Project Leader

Prof Jang-Kyo Kim & Prof T Y Zhang

School / Dept

SENG/ MECH

Project Duration

Jan 2004 - Dec 2004

Project Description

The project aimed to stimulate students’ self-learning ability instead of being spoon-fed. By using videos and animations, they would understand the subject and its industrial applications better. By viewing the multimedia on the Internet, students could enjoy learning the material at home or anywhere. The use of a discussion forum facilitated the collection of students’ commonly encountered questions, so that instructors could spend more time on explaining them.

Project Outcome

• Development and refinement of seven animations as originally planned.

• Production and refinement of four videos.

• Applications of the visualization and simulation models in the course offered in Fall 2004, MECH242  Engineering Materials II.
