Purpose
The purpose of this
discussion group is to explore the needs of the fluid dynamics community for
the instruction of undergraduate students of aerospace engineering and other
engineering disciplines. The goal of this effort is improved preparation of
these students for graduate research and for work in industry, either as
experimentalists or as end users of data obtained from experiments.
