In this paper we will deal about the importance of the study of the subject Fluid Dynamics in Engineering field. Students are more likely to study Engineering courses in the recent days. Engineering deals with the basic concepts of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry. Though, Computer Science subject is a pulse to Engineering, the subjects, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry are heart beat to Engineering courses. In this study, we will discuss where and how Fluid Dynamics stands as a crown to Engineering Field.

Physics is ruminated to be the backbone of every Engineering stream. However, students pursuing computer science Engineering have an altogether different perception of the subject in terms of nature of knowledge and its future implications in their field of study. They are very apprehensive in stipulated learning of the subject as there exists a common belief that algorithm and program designing requires no prior knowledge of Physics or Physics laboratory and it is merely a superfluous subject laden upon them in their introductory year of Engineering. In this present manuscript, efforts are being made to explore their epistemological beliefs and expectations about the subject. In order to explore the anticipations and attitudes in learning Physics by these students, the Maryland Physics Expectation Survey (MPEX Survey) and the Engineering Physics Survey (EP Survey) has been tested for both their rationality and dependability. The EP Survey is specifically designed by the one author (N.H.) to determine the perceptions, beliefs and expectations of Computer Science Engineering students from the subject Engineering Physics. Parametric and non-parametric tests were applied to the clusters. A deep cluster wise analysis of all the items in both the surveys clearly pointed out to the fact that the students who liked Physics at school level have positive responses which are similar to that of experts and are highly motivated in learning the subject. However, the percentage of these students is quite low. Conversely, students who disliked Physics at school level carry the same perception while pursuing Engineering as well and they find no rationale in understanding the importance of this subject. Thus, the role of a school Physics teacher is pivotal in generating interest amongst students for the subject as otherwise the long –term implications at higher levels of study turn out to be very severe.

Abstract This paper describes a three-week long project for teaching microcomputer-based data acquisition. The project is part of a senior level laboratory course for mechanical engineering students at Santa Clara University. The subject of investigation is the lift coefficient of an airfoil. Students in groups of two carried out the project in three phases. The laboratory activities in each phase are designed to provide the students hands-on experience with the basic functions, hardware and software of a microcomputer-based data acquisition system. Typical results obtained by the students are presented. The project has been proved to be successful for the students to learn and practice the three basic concepts in data acquisition which are measurements, controls and programming.

This paper takes the application of workflow technology in a multi-smart IOT message-driven practical training execution system as the research background, analyzes the current situation and problems of the practical training execution system, and reconstructs and optimizes the original on-site practical training model and business methods according to the future development needs of the practical training execution system. This study draws on the theoretical perspective of the computer knowledge body to deeply recognize and understand the connotation of computing ability from the levels of knowledge, skills, and attitude, forms a basic understanding of computing ability through literature combing, and refines the core elements of computing ability through a combination of enterprise case study, content analysis, and questionnaire survey, strives to form a more systematic and in-depth understanding of the connotation and elements of computing ability. It also provides a reference for the clarification of computing ability training objectives of computer science teachers under the trend of intelligence. Facing the enhancement of computing ability of engineering students majoring in computer science at the undergraduate level, the objectives of computing ability cultivation are clarified, the key points of computing ability cultivation mode are refined from three levels: curriculum design, teaching operation, management, and control, and three typical computing ability cultivation modes embedded in undergraduate computer education are constructed: knowledge module combination mode, computing context experience mode, and intelligent industry-leading mode. The operational strategies and implementation paths of the models are discussed in depth. This study emphasizes that, based on the analysis of the characteristics of the trend of intelligence, the computing ability cultivation model is not static.

The study of the propagation of "plastic" waves in solids has reached a stage where it is necessary to consider which direction future research should take. In the past 90 or so years many experiments, mostly designed to elucidate certain points of engineering significance, and a few attempts at a theoretical study have cast some light on the subject and revealed it as one of formidable difficulty.Nearly all the experiments have of necessity relied on rather dubious theories for their interpretation, and part of the present paper will be devoted to a description of an apparatus which gives results capable of being interpreted with a very minimum of theory. The remainder of the paper is devoted to a short review of past work with particular emphasis on basic phenomena and to a brief discussion on the most pressing problems still remaining. The experiments described in the present paper bring to light a factor in the propagation of "plastic" waves that seems to have been overlooked in previous work.

The article is devoted to the definition of concept in modern linguistics. Various points of view and definitions of the basic concepts are considered: "concept", "conceptual sphere", "content". The aim of the article is to describe and explain such a complex unit as a concept from the point of view of linguistics. The object of research is studied in its various manifestations, the combination of verbal and nonverbal means of information expression in the conceptual sphere is revealed. the relevance of this topic is due to the need for a detailed consideration of the concept of concept based on the works of prominent scientists and linguists. Researchers treat the concept as a cognitive, psycholinguistic, linguocultural, cultural and linguistic phenomenon. The concept is an umbrella term because it "covers" the subject areas of several scientific fields: primarily cognitive psychology and cognitive linguistics.

The article is devoted to the consideration of the theory of social action in the context of criticism of the theory of action by analytical philosophy. Firstly, the article describes the basic concepts of social action by M. Weber, E. Durkheim, and T. Parsons. Despite some disagreements between these sociologists, they agree that social action is purposeful and intentional, as well as focused on other people, due to which it receives a social characteristic. Then the author turns to analytical philosophy, in which the concept of "intention" was subjected to skeptical analysis. For example, in the philosophy of late Wittgenstein, action receives its meaning not from the intentions of the actor, but from the context of its implementation, just as words get their meaning from the conditions in which they are used. His ideas were developed by E. Anscombe, who rejected introspection as a method of comprehending the intentions of the subject of action. An obvious consequence of the refusal of psychologizing intent was an appeal to the context of the action being performed and to its social conditions as well. Having considered examples of the application of the theories of social action, the author concludes that sociologists in most of their studies use the model of a rational subject of action, the distinguishing feature of which is awareness of one’s own intentions and goals. Although some researchers have attempted to make this model weaker in order to approximate it to real participants of social interaction, these changes did not affect the awareness of the subject of action of his own goals and intentions. Therefore, the author of the article concludes that one of the urgent tasks of sociology is to develop a new model of the subject of action, which will organically combine the subject’s orientation to the external context and limited awareness of the grounds for his own actions.

This work involves the methodology used in the University of Valladolid for Mechanical Engineering students to learn Computational Fluid Dynamics playing an active role. Students pretend to be engineers in a consulting or design office carrying out a fluid mechanics scale down projects. Later they act as reviewers evaluating a project from a colleague. There is a deeper understanding of the topic when they need to discuss the strategies to accomplish the project, to write a technical report and finally to justify the evaluation of other works. Furthermore, they develop their critical thought, writing skills and synthesis capacity. Multimedia material from other institutions that review the concepts learned in the course can be a suitable way to improve the understanding of concepts.
