According to the educational objectives of METU Mechanical Engineering Department, there should be two senior year design courses: a mechanical design course and a thermal or fluids design course. The department had a successful long running mandatory mechanical design course. Instead of preparing and offering a mandatory thermal or fluid design course, it is decided to change the status of three senior year elective courses in thermal or fluids field that were involving design elements. Among these, ME421 Heat Exchanger and Steam Generator design course is offered as restricted elective. The course had been offered as an elective course for a long time for a smaller group of interested students. In new restricted elective status, the number of students is increased but their overall interest level is dropped. The format changes made in the course to accommodate the change in status are presented. Some quantitative and qualitative examples are given to compare the previous and the current status in terms of student learning outcomes. Statistical significance of the observations is discussed along with the results of Bartlett's test.

SHALL WE CONTINUE KEEPING HIGH SCHOOL COURSES IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING CURRICULUM?
Sonmez, Murat (2014-06-27)
Since the entrance of the graduates of technical high schools to engineering programs is hindered, in application, the graduates of general or science high schools only are accepted to engineering education. For these students, four years are not sufficient to teach the basic and the related application courses of the profession. Looking at the existing curriculum of mechanical engineering, it can be seen that in the 1st Year, the physics and chemistry courses repeat the content of the ones given in high sc...
Evaluation of basic design education at METU department of industrial design
Bayırlı, Ümit; Özgen Koçyıldırım, Dalsu; Department of Industrial Design (2015)
Basic Design is a crucial course for design education. This course is offered in the first year to initiate students to the theory, practice and communication of design and to lay a basis on which more advanced and specialized knowledge will be gathered throughout the rest of their design education and careers. However, the course's results, influence in design education and methods of conduct receives many criticisms from students, educators, designers and researchers. Even though the course plays a foundi...
Development of an educational CFD software for two dimensional incompressible flows
Nakiboğlu, Güneş; Sert, Cüneyt; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2007)
The main purpose of this research is to develop a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to be used as an educational tool in teaching introductory level fluid mechanics and CFD courses. The software developed for this purpose is called Virtual Flow Lab. It has a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables basic pre-processing, solver parameter and boundary condition setting and post-processing steps of a typical CFD simulation. The pressure-based solver is capable of solving incompressible, laminar, s...
The multidisciplinary International Virtual Design Studio (MIVDS)
Erden, A; Erkmen, Aydan Müşerref; Erkmen, İsmet; Bucinell, RB; Traver, C; Notash, L (2000-08-01)
The International Virtual Design Studio (MIVDS) that was originated between the Departments of Mechanical Engineering of Union College (UC) and the Middle East Technical University (METU) is now extended to include the Mechanical Engineering Department at Queen's University in Canada, the Computer Systems Engineering/Electrical Engineering Department at UC, and the Electrical/Electronics Engineering Department of METU, The design teams that participate in this project are composed of various combinations of...
Advanced Elasticity
Çöker, Demirkan(2010)
At the end of the course, the student should be able to design and analyze aerospace engineering components subject to different types of loading. In particular, the objective is to introduce the student to i) the methods of stress, deformation and stability analysis in the design of aerospace engineering components, ii) failure theories, fatigue analysis and thermal stress analysis in the design process, iii) the use of computer tools to solve problems in mechanics. Independent learning, professionalism an...
