INNOVATION AND EXPLORATORY COURSE DESIGN PROJECTS IN FLUID MECHANICS TEACHING

Fluid mechanics is a fundamental course in various engineering disciplines, including aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering, energy and power engineering, and civil engineering. In addition to studying fundamental theories, course practices play a vital role in fluid mechanics education, significantly contributing to the development of students' engineering practical skills and innovative thinking. This paper aims to explore the significance of innovative course design projects in fluid mechanics course practices and their impact on enhancing students' abilities. Drawing on our experiences from teaching and practical applications of fluid mechanics over the past few years, we examine the importance of such projects and their implications for students' skill development.
