Project Description
|
This project intends to offer CBME, BIEN, CIVL and MECH students a series of on-line virtual labs that the teachers can use to supplement teaching and the students can participate in the relevant experiments by changing key parameters. A virtual lab consists of three major components:
- Model simulation of the essential properties of the system;
- Virtual lab view of the interactive user; and
- Narration of system information and instructions on how to use the virtual lab.
|
Project Outcome
|
- 8 virtual CBME experiements, including Evaporation, Drying, Fluid Flow, Heat Exchange, Bioreactor, Oxygen Tranfer have been developed. The contents of the experiments consist of introduction, theory, industrial process, equipment, experiment, discussion questions and online resources etc.
- 4 virtual experiments for BIEN, CIVL and MECH have been developed to present the concepts about material/tissue testing, loading and deformation of structures etc. The experiments allow students to analyze and prepare lab reports by providing simulated 'experimental data' that containing random errors. Students can also visualize the qualitative behavior of structures.
- Lecture notes of corresponding CIVL course have been re-designed.
