Improving teaching-learning process through ICT methods assisted with CFD techniques for marine engineering courses

Abstract

This article presents a teaching-learning methodology for the subject "Hydrodynamic, Resistance and Propulsion" in the Degree of Naval Architecture. A new teaching approach is proposed, for ensuring that students acquire skills related to the ability of analyzing and designing different types of ships. The roles of both Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methods are some specific features of the methodology.
