University of Nicosia Enhances Mechanical Engineering Programme with Industry‑Leading Fluid Dynamics Software STAR-CCM+

The University of Nicosia is pleased to announce a valuable addition to its Mechanical Engineering programme through the integration of STAR‑CCM+, one of the world’s leading Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and multiphysics simulation platforms. The adoption of the software will support the teaching and practical training of students enrolled in the Fluid Dynamics course.

This upgraded capability is made possible thanks to a generous software donation by FEAC Engineering, the Official & Authorised Smart, Software & Technology Partner of Siemens Digital Industries Software (DISW) for Greece–Cyprus–Malta. FEAC Engineering is widely recognised for enabling advanced engineering simulation across academia and industry, and its contribution further strengthens the strong relationship between the University of Nicosia and the engineering innovation ecosystem of the region.

Empowering Students with Real‑World Simulation Tools

The integration of STAR‑CCM+ into the curriculum allows Mechanical Engineering students to gain hands‑on experience with industry‑standard CFD tools used extensively by engineers worldwide. Through this software, students will be able to:

  • Analyse complex fluid flows and heat transfer problems
  • Perform multiphysics simulations with real‑world engineering applications
  • Enhance their understanding of aerodynamics, turbomachinery, thermal systems, and advanced flow behaviour
  • Build practical skills highly valued in engineering design, R&D, and advanced simulation roles

Strengthening Academic–Industry Collaboration

The University of Nicosia extends its sincere appreciation to FEAC Engineering for supporting the academic mission of the Department of Engineering. This collaboration promotes innovation, enhances teaching and learning, and encourages closer ties between university education and modern industrial practice.

Commenting on this, Dr. Stelios Neophytou, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Engineering, said: “We sincerely thank FEAC Engineering for this generous contribution. It strengthens our ability to give students access to advanced, industry-standard tools and valuable hands-on experience in computational fluid dynamics. This support will make a meaningful difference in our students’ education and professional development, and we are truly grateful as this further emphasizes the University’s commitment in equipping its graduates with the skills needed for careers in modern engineering sectors.”
