Overview
Thermal engineering concepts such as heat transfer, thermal management, thermal stresses, and energy management are fundamental to the design and performance of modern products and systems. However, learners often struggle to connect theoretical principles with real-world engineering applications, particularly when topics are taught in isolation. Simulation helps bridge this gap by enabling users to visualize complex thermal phenomena, explore design tradeoffs, and understand the multidisciplinary interactions that influence engineering decisions.
In this webinar, discover how Ansys simulation tools and educator resources can be used to create engaging, experiential learning experiences for thermal engineering topics. Through practical examples, attendees will see how simulation brings theory to life while highlighting the relationships between thermal, structural, materials, and product design considerations.
Participants will also explore ready-to-use resources that can be integrated into lectures, assignments, and project-based learning activities. Whether you teach heat transfer, thermodynamics, thermal engineering, or product design, this session will provide practical insights into leveraging simulation to foster critical thinking, encourage system-level understanding, and better prepare learners for real-world engineering challenges.
