Propose this course as Writing Intensive curriculum: |
No | |
Question 1 (see CWB Requirement 1): |
How do writing assignments and writing instruction further the learning objectives
of this course and how is writing integrated into the course? Note that the syllabus must
reflect the critical role that writing plays in the course. <no text provided> |
|
Question 2 (see CWB Requirement 2): |
What types of writing (e.g., research papers, problem sets, presentations,
technical documents, lab reports, essays, journaling etc.) will be assigned? Explain how these
assignments meet the requirement that writing be a significant part of the course work, including
details about multi-authored assignments, if any. Include the required length for each writing
assignment and demonstrate how the minimum word count (or its equivalent) for finished writing will
be met. <no text provided> |
|
Question 3 (see CWB Requirement 3): |
How will students' final course grade depend on their writing performance?
What percentage of the course grade will depend on the quality and level of the student's writing
compared to the percentage of the grade that depends on the course content? Note that this information
must also be on the syllabus. <no text provided> |
|
Question 4 (see CWB Requirement 4): |
Indicate which assignment(s) students will be required to revise and resubmit after
feedback from the instructor. Indicate who will be providing the feedback. Include an example of the
assignment instructions you are likely to use for this assignment or assignments. <no text provided> |
|
Question 5 (see CWB Requirement 5): |
What types of writing instruction will be experienced by students? How much class
time will be devoted to explicit writing instruction and at what points in the semester? What types of
writing support and resources will be provided to students? <no text provided> |
|
Question 6 (see CWB Requirement 6): |
If teaching assistants will participate in writing assessment and writing instruction,
explain how will they be trained (e.g. in how to review, grade and respond to student writing) and how will
they be supervised. If the course is taught in multiple sections with multiple faculty (e.g. a capstone
directed studies course), explain how every faculty mentor will ensure that their students will receive
a writing intensive experience. <no text provided> |

Course Syllabus | ||
Course Syllabus: |
For new courses and courses in which changes in content and/or description and/or credits
are proposed, please provide a syllabus that includes the following information: course goals
and description; format;structure of the course (proposed number of instructor contact
hours per week, student workload effort per week, etc.); topics to be covered; scope and
nature of assigned readings (text, authors, frequency, amount per week); required course
assignments; nature of any student projects; and how students will be
evaluated. The University "Syllabi Policy" can be
found here
The University policy on credits is found under Section 4A of "Standards for Semester Conversion" found here. Course syllabus information will be retained in this system until new syllabus information is entered with the next major course modification. This course syllabus information may not correspond to the course as offered in a particular semester. (Please limit text to about 12 pages. Text copied and pasted from other sources will not retain formatting and special characters might not copy properly.) Syllabus AEM 4253 Computational Fluid Mechanics 3 Credits Catalog Description: Emphasis on introductory concepts in finite difference and finite volume methods as applied to various ordinary and partial differential model equations in fluid mechanics; fundamentals of spatial discretization and numerical integration; numerical linear algebra. Introduction to engineering and scientific computing environment. Advanced topics may include finite element methods, spectral methods, grid generation, turbulence modeling.

Text: Zikanov, Essential Computational Fluid Dynamics, Wiley, 9780470423295 Format of Course: 3 lecture hours per week Computer Usage: Computer programming required in homework assignments and term project. Course Objectives: Develop an understanding of introductory concepts in computational fluid mechanics with emphasis on the numerical solution of ordinary and partial differential equations; solution of ODEs by numerical integration; finite difference and finite volume methods for parabolic, elliptic, and hyperbolic PDEs (techniques for single and multi-dimensional problems); numerical linear algebra. Ability to implement and utilize various numerical methods and basic mathematical analysis for canonical problems in fluid mechanics. Develop advanced skills in MATLAB and programming languages such as C/C++ & Fortran. Course Outcomes: Students will demonstrate the following in homework, tests, and the term project: An ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems by approximating complex physical systems in fluid flow by simplified canonical models. A knowledge of fluid mechanics and its mathematical description. An ability to apply knowledge of math and science to engineering by describing a continuous fluid-flow phenomena in a discrete numerical sense. An ability to use the techniques, skills, & engineering tools necessary for engineering practice by applying numerical methods to a "real-world" fluid-flow problem, integrating various numerical techniques in formulating a numerical solution method for that problem, and using computational tools such as MATLAB and programming languages (Fortran, C/C++). An ability to analyze and interpret data obtained from the numerical solution of fluid flow problems. An ability to communicate effectively by writing the term project in a structured technical report format and by learning how to ask questions in class. Relationship of course to program objectives: This course develops students knowledge of fluid mechanics and aerodynamics, as well as improving their problem solving abilities.

Strategic Objectives & Consultation | ||
Name of Department Chair Approver: |
Perry Leo | |
Strategic Objectives - Curricular Objectives: |
How does adding this course improve the overall curricular objectives ofthe unit? This allows UG students to take AEM 5253 and be graded easier than the graduate students. |
|
Strategic Objectives - Core Curriculum: |
Does the unit consider this course to be part of its core curriculum? This is a core course in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics. |
|
Strategic Objectives - Consultation with Other Units: |
In order to prevent course overlap and to inform other departments of new
curriculum, circulate proposal to chairs in relevant units and follow-up with direct
consultation. Please summarize response from units consulted and include correspondence. By
consultation with other units, the information about a new course is more widely disseminated
and can have a positive impact on enrollments. The consultation can be as simple as an
email to the department chair informing them of the course and asking for any feedback
from the faculty. This is not a new course, merely a UG version of the existing course AEM 5253 (previously 5251). |
