University of Hartford Uses Simulation Apps to Teach STEM Curricula

Ivana Milanovic, University of Hartford, USA

While covering the required fundamental material in undergraduate academic programs is the top priority, students require an extra set of knowledge and skills to flourish in the workforce. This is especially true in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, where there is rarely an abundance of time for inquiry-based learning and the development of field-specific skills. To address this issue, the University of Hartford integrated multiphysics modeling into their curricula. Using the Application Builder in the COMSOL Multiphysics® software, the university created simulation-based laboratory assignments through apps, which enhanced students’ physical intuition and their ability to visualize physical concepts.
