Abstract

Fundamental engineering principles must be taught proficiently in universities in order to educate the next generation of engineers. The project's execution goal is to use interactive visual aids to modernize existing engineering courses at Elmergib University. The use critical engineering labs, has become increasingly challenging. Visual teaching aids and virtual training materials are in high demand among instructors to help students learn remotely. COMSOL is an exciting visual tool for training students about physical phenomena, owing to its strong Multiphasic setup and very user-friendly user interface. Regrettably, even with extensive online instructions, a learning curve limits many instructors from adopting it into their classes. Similarly, some universities might up to purchase expensive license packages for the most significant simulators. The Edali et al. research group of Elmergib University aims to construct self-contained COMSOL executable runtime Apps through their simulation application development initiatives. By downloading them for free from anywhere in the globe, you are able to utilize these App libraries "out of the box" to understand the science underlying the simulation. Each app is designed for Windows and macOS. The free COMSOL runtime libraries must be installed only once when users launch an application for the first time. Experimenting with alternate ways to share knowledge platforms and studying creative approaches to organize student-instructor interactions to improve learning are two examples of educational media creation advances. That promotes technology-based resources and techniques in education through computational engineering projects. The authors' research advances based on experiences in student-instructor interactions improves the engineering curriculum.
