Online Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics Laboratory

摘要

This paper presents, how multimedia technology can be implemented over the web to enhance the learning experience of students at the University of Oklahoma in a heat transfer and fluid mechanics laboratory. This course module not only introduces fundamental theories about measurement, but also details the experimental setup and procedure for each laboratory assignment. In addition, it has a unique component called "virtual laboratory" in which students can learn the operation of advanced and sophisticated instruments that are not normally available in an undergraduate teaching laboratory. The implementation of "virtual laboratory" can better utilize the resources available while providing an excellent opportunity of learning for Students.
