Objectives:
The main objective is to change the teaching approach for "Fluid Mechanics" subjects with the aid of a graphical and conceptual teaching kit so that it:
- maximizes the enjoyment of students in studying the subjects;
- promotes the understanding of concepts through peer discussion and short questions games;
- motivates students to attend classes rather than borrowing notes from friends;
- connects conceptual and mathematical representations in a meaningful way; and
- facilitates the teaching and learning of high-tech hydraulic engineering, advanced water-supply and sanitary pipework engineering, fluid mechanics and process engineering, applied physics and energy sciences.
