Design Your Experiment (DYE) project based learning in fluid mechanics laboratory

Abstract

There is a need to implement an active and student-centered learning experience in the universities, which could help students expand their vision and better understand its application and concepts outside the classroom learning. This articlediscusses anapproach of Design your experiment (DYE) project in the Fluid Mechanics laboratory to make the course more interesting for the students. We discuss various components involved in the DYE project and its learning outcomes. The reaction survey of 40 students collected through an online questionnaire shows that the DYE helps the students to enhance their fundamentals, improve their communication, leadership and team management skills
