Fluid mechanics requires students to grasp complex mathematical concepts and visualize how fluids behave in real-world systems. Supported by a CU Next Award from the CU system, a collaborative project at CU Boulder and CU Denver is helping make that learning process more engaging, accessible and intuitive. Watch a video to learn how this CU Next-supported collaboration is preparing the next generation of engineers through innovative teaching and cross-campus partnership.
When Jeffrey Nytch, D.M.A., prepares students for potential nonlinear career paths, he’s speaking from experience. “I didn’t go to college to major in music,” said Nytch, a professor at CU Boulder’s College of Music. “In fact, I was interested in business and finance. Music had always been in my life, but I was told that it was ‘a great hobby but a lousy way to make a living.’” This year, Nytch was named to the newest cohort of President’s Teaching Scholars at CU.
