The goal of the Fluids Mechanics Concept Inventory
(FMCI) is to establish a common base of fluids concepts and
provide instruments that could be used by faculty to evaluate
the degree to which students in a given program have mastered
those concepts. The inventory would be conducted in each of
the fluids classes at the start of the semester to assess the
knowledge of entering students and at the end of the semester
to assess whether students have mastered the necessary concepts.
An outcome of conducting the inventory might be modifications
to the curriculum and courses to ensure that students obtain
the necessary understanding of the basic concepts.
If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the
FMCI, please contact Jay
Martin.
