—Analysis & Benchmark

See every gap and overlap in one view with evidences.

Every course in your department, plotted against a standardized academic ontology. Deep coverage glows. Blind spots surface. Duplicated topics across three different courses finally visible in one chart.

Map your curriculum's coverage and benchmark against peers in a single afternoon.

📄

PETE 211

Fluid Mechanics I · METU · Ankara

3 CRFall

From Syllabus

Viscous flow in pipes — Hagen-Poiseuille equation, friction factor correlations.

Boundary layer theory — laminar and turbulent regimes, drag estimation.

Bernoulli equation applications — venturi meters, pitot tubes, orifice flow.

📄

CHEM-E3130

Transport Phenomena · Aalto · Espoo

5 ECTSPeriod II

From Syllabus

Momentum transport fundamentals — Newton's law of viscosity, shell balances.

Convective heat and mass transfer — forced convection correlations.

Dimensional analysis — Buckingham Pi theorem, Reynolds similarity.

Viscous Flow

Both

Evidence

"Hagen-Poiseuille equation" ↔ "Newton's law of viscosity"

Reason

Both cover viscous flow fundamentals from complementary angles.

Boundary Layers

METU only

Evidence

"laminar and turbulent regimes, drag estimation"

Reason

Covered in PETE 211 only — no equivalent in Aalto syllabus.

Pipe Flow

Both

Evidence

"friction factor correlations" ↔ "shell balances"

Reason

Internal flow analysis present in both curricula.

Convection

Aalto only

Evidence

"forced convection correlations"

Reason

Heat/mass transfer convection covered only in CHEM-E3130.

Bernoulli Eq.

METU only

Evidence

"venturi meters, pitot tubes, orifice flow"

Reason

Applied Bernoulli — practical measurement focus unique to METU.

Momentum Transport

Both

Evidence

"drag estimation" ↔ "momentum transport fundamentals"

Reason

Shared concept — approached via boundary layers (METU) and shell balances (Aalto).

Dim. Analysis

Aalto only

Evidence

"Buckingham Pi theorem, Reynolds similarity"

Reason

Scaling and similitude covered only in Aalto curriculum.

Drag & Friction

Both

Evidence

"drag estimation" ↔ "friction factor correlations"

Reason

Friction/drag analysis overlaps across both programs.

—Equivalency

Build defensible equivalencies across borders.

Two curricula, side by side, mapped onto the same ontology. nutshell proposes matches; your committee reviews and approves. The output is an auditable mapping, the kind that survives accreditation review.

Weeks of equivalency committee work compressed to a single working session.

06Infrastructure

We don't just connect data.
We connect institutions.

nutshell is the infrastructure layer that turns isolated universities into a benchmarking and collaboration network. Every university that joins makes the graph richer for everyone.

07From the field

nutshell saved us at least one year on our draft program case.

METU Northern Cyprus Campus

What nutshell produces matches what our own faculty would arrive at manually. Only we get there in days, not months.
