Ivana Milanovic, professor of mechanical engineering is the keynote speaker at the COMSOL Conference 2018 Boston.
She will deliver a talk on a Simulation-Based Approach to STEM
Challenges. The pedagogical approach combines problem- and inquiry-based
learning, simulations and apps with the COMSOL Multiphysics® software,
and emphasizes the importance of outside-of-class learning supported by
effective reference materials and faculty mentoring.
A two-course sequence was modified to contain scaffolded and
contextualized simulations with application building that develop
technical competency in modeling, a deeper understanding of thermofluids
concepts by solving realistic technological problems, and writing
skills by generating technical reports for each simulation. Apps involve
creating a simplified interface that contains the full efficacy of the
underlying model but not exposing the end user to its complexity.
