Art Fluid Engineering

Catalog description

Art can be defined in many different ways, such as: Art is the action to produce objects with no practical use, whose only purpose is to be beautiful or stimulate the intellect in some way. Engineering, on the other hand, is a discipline that uses science to produce devices or processes that are intrinsically useful. We will combine two contrasting views to create objects with aesthetic value and can be useful. We will use fluid flows to create art. Discussions in which a ‘fluid’ idea is presented, and contrasting scientific/engineering and artistic analysis will be conducted. Students will identify a flow problem to create art: dynamic sculptures, paintings, videos, installations. Art pieces will be presented at the end of the semester and exhibited publicly. Engineering Students: Enroll in ENGN 1350 for advanced engineering credit with a prerequisite and scaled expectations.
