Teaching Simulation Methods with COMSOL Multiphysics
- This paper describes two courses on simulation methods for graduate students: “Simulation Methods” and “Simulation and Optimization in Virtual Engineering” The courses were planned to teach young engineers how to work with simulation software as well as to understand the necessary mathematical background. As simulation software COMSOL is used. The main philosophy was to combine theory and praxis in a way that motivates the students. In addition “soft skills” should be improved. This was achieved by project work as final examination. As underlying didactical principle the ideas of Bloom’s revised taxonomy were followed. The paper basically focusses on educational aspects, e.g. how to structure the course, plan the exercises, organize the project work and include practical COMSOL examples.
