Abstract: The evolution of engineering curricula at the undergraduate level is an ongoing necessity for several reasons, including the need to enhance student engagement through improved delivery methods, stay aligned with industry practices, and integrate innovative tools that aid in visualizing and understanding complex concepts. However, implementing these changes can be challenging for faculty and departments due to limited resources, institutional support, or access to technology. As part of our commitment to advancing engineering, science, and design education, Ansys has been funding university projects for over three years, helping to drive these essential transformations. This webinar will feature Associate Professor Olayinka Adewunmi from the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Lagos, a recipient of an Ansys grant, who will share insights on the impact of this support. With limited and insufficient experimental laboratory equipment for hands-on engineering instruction and visualization in courses like Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer in Nigeria, Ansys offers a viable solution for bridging the lab equipment gap. The presentation will showcase how simulation is used to bridge this gap in the Faculty of Engineering, University of Lagos in three courses namely, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics, Fundamentals of Fluid Mechanics and Introduction to Heat and Mass Transfer. Benefits and challenges of these changes which affect 600 students in second year across 5 engineering departments and almost 100 mechanical engineering students in their fourth year, will be discussed.
Presenters: Olayinka O. Adewumi, Ph.D is the Ag. Director of the Innovation and Technology Management Office and an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Lagos (UNILAG)
