Description:
The combination of lecture, simulation and physical testing provides powerful reinforcement of learning objectives. With this multi-modal approach, students gain greater understanding of materials science and engineering concepts. Additional benefits of the addition of software simulation into the curriculum include:
- Simulation provides a direct illustration of material behavior
- Learning continues even when laboratory time is limited
- Students are better prepared for physical testing, having practiced procedures in simulation mode
- Supports self-paced learning
- Emulates real-world product development processes that integrate simulation
