C. Other Contributions to Instruction
Spring 2001
Dr. Huebsch developed a course web page for MAE 331 (Fluid Mechanics) on the WVU WebCT system. This included syllabus, course information, schedule, homework assignments and solutions, test information, lecture notes, and sample exams. There was a good response from the students.
Fall 2001
Dr. Huebsch developed a WebCT course web page for MAE 434 – Experimental Aerodynamics.
Spring 2002
Conducted MAE Independent Study course on “Flow Control for Aerodynamic Drag Reduction”.
Dr. Huebsch implemented a “Special Project” in Fluid Mechanics course (MAE 331). The students were required to develop and solve a fluids project from every-day life using what they had learned in the course.
Fall 2002
Dr. Huebsch developed a new course web page for the Flight Vehicle Design Course. This contained syllabus, course information, report outlines, and supplemental information.
*mention addition of ethics material
Dr. Huebsch implemented new software for the Flight Vehicle Design Course along with a new textbook. The new software helped students in the design of their project. The software had two parts: 1) AAA was the actual aircraft design software and 2) AeroCAD was a specialized CAD software for drawing the aircraft design.
Spring 2003
Dr. Huebsch developed a brand new course for the MAE undergraduate curriculum. The course is entitled “Computational Fluid Dynamics”. This was an experimental senior-level tech elective. The response from the students was outstanding. The student limit was set at 40; this limit was reached shortly after the course was open for enrollment. This is a timely course. Many companies in the aerospace and mechanical engineering industry now expect B.S. students to have some exposure to CFD (similar to the expectations of B.S. students with CAD experience). I had both senior undergraduates as well as M.S. students take the course.
