Abstract
The experience gained in a course on Selected Topics of Fluid Mechanics course for the Industrial Engineer degree, Polytechnic University of Cartagena-Spain employing numerical techniques as a motivating element for students. The mean objectives of the course are to provide an understanding of the analytical methods employed for selected topics in Fluid Mechanics and to bring a familiarity with some experimental and numerical techniques. To improve teaching-learning a pedagogical method based on Problem-Solving Based Learning is applied, using Computational Fluid Dynamics. As a result, the motivation and the theoretical and technical abilities of the students have been improved. It can be concluded that now the method is efficient and has increase the satisfaction degree of the students
