“…However, the use of Fuzzy Logic for structured reward behaviour is very rare, so far we found only our research that utilized fuzzy logic for reward behaviour [16]. Fuzzy logic in game mainly used to control Non-playable Character (NPC) behaviour, as stated by [17], [18] to map player characteristic and performance [19] to develop user interface for exergame [20]. In the term of game design, research conducted by [21] utilized fuzzy logic to control the behaviour of game parameter, and [22] use fuzzy logic for dynamic difficulty.…”

Purpose: Serious game has been widely considered to be a potential learning tool, due to its main advantage to provide a fun experience in learning. The experience is supported mainly by in-game activities, where feedback is given in the form of rewards. However, rewards often don't work well due to various factors, for example, rewards are always the same, so they are monotonous. We use Appreciative Learning as underlying concept for activity design and fuzzy logic to create the reward behavior, called Fuzzy Smart Reward.Methods: We use Appreciative Learning as underlying concept for activity design and fuzzy logic to create the reward behavior. Appreciative Learning activities consists of Discovery, Dream, Design and Destiny. We propose fuzzy-based smart reward for those activities. The smart reward takes player achievement in each activity as input for the fuzzy inference system and give the dynamic reward as output.Result: A game prototype is developed as a test subject. The result shows that the smart reward could dynamically adjust the reward based on game conditions and player performance. Test conducted using Game Experience Questionnaire get the score 3.3 out of 4.Novelty: There aren't many studies on dynamic rewards in structured reward systems; the majority of studies remove dynamic rewards from reward systems. In our research, a "smart reward" is a dynamic reward in a structured reward system that is created using artificial intelligence and is based on activities for appreciative learning. The use of Fuzzy Logic for structured reward behavior is also very rare.

“…The number of mobile applications used in universities is increasing, as it is shown in Refs. [15], [17], and [34]. Using new technologies in the teaching process provides a lot of benefits including saving time, having faster and more accurate evaluation tools, creating new learning environments full of visual aids such as animated media, high‐quality pictures, three‐dimensional (3D) models, and interactive way of learning to attract students to learn and provide better outcomes.…”

In recent years, Jupyter Notebooks have become a very useful free and opensource tool in teaching, as they allow you to combine text, images, mathematical expressions, links and code into a single document. This gives students an interactive document with which they can experiment and learn with the help of high-level mathematical calculus. In Fluid Mechanics, it is very common for students to deal with complex computations that take away attention from the Mechanic, especially in advanced topics such as Rheology, Turbulence, or Boundary Layer. The subject "Advanced Fluid Mechanics" is an elective one of the last year of the Bachelor's degree in Industrial and Aerospace Technology Engineering at the Terrassa School of Industrial, Aerospace and Audiovisual Engineering at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya. This subject has three ECTS credits and has been taught since the academic year 2020-2021 This subject complements the compulsory subject Fluid Mechanics and is developed in 6 weeks with 5 h of class each week. This work presents Fluid Mechanics modules with Jupyter Notebooks that complement the syllabus given in the compulsory subject. An elective subject is presented where subjects of Fluid Mechanics per week are studied independently, using different Python tools: symbolic calculation, modeling of experimental data, statistical analysis, numerical calculation, and so forth.The main goal is for the student to focus on mechanical concepts and actively learn to use the tools available, especially open source, to do the associated mathematical calculations.

Over decades, Mechanical Engineering students often find some difficulties to grasp some contents and/or struggle with some parts of the course. With the increasing development of new technologies, promising innovations can be implemented enhancing learning and improving success rates. In this study, a new learning interactive method is proposed and evaluated using the experience of over 600 students of Mechanical Engineering. This study describes a 4-year experiment based on new interactive applications for education. The experiment has been implemented using E-learning techniques and new technologies (a combination of remote and virtual examples, videos, quizzes, and theory). Specifically, several applications have been programmed to be executed on different devices, such as mobile phones and PC/laptops (Android and Windows). The experiment is applied using small applications that help the students identify the most challenging contents and guide them throughout step-by-step. The main objective of this interactive method is to help students find their lack of knowledge and offer them contents to cover it. These didactic applications are portable and intuitive. Thanks to these interactive applications, it is possible to accomplish better practices of "E-learning" and "Computer Simulation and Animation" together. Since they are portable applications, they allow the student to interact and check conceptual understandings at any place. Students really appreciate this aspect. The results of the course titled Mechanism and Machine Theory have been analyzed during these four last years in which these interactive applications have been offered to the students.
