As this course is required for a very wide range of students with varied backgroundsrelated to the principles being presented, the effective incorporation of lab exercises within thecourse curriculum is paramount to the understanding of concepts for students. The fluid flowtrainer presented herein was developed to improve the “Principles of Propulsion” course for non-engineering majors at the United States Naval Academy, however the ability of professors andinstructors to demonstrate key fluid flow principles with the trainer, in an engaging manner andwith a unique flow path arrangement, will benefit engineering majors as well.

virtual lab experiences havemuch more possibilities without being limited to lab courses. The project team and faculty in EEsuccessfully integrated laboratory experiences into purely theoretical courses via Hardware-in-Homework (HiH) concept [13, 14]. The Analog Discovery kit is a good example of HiH, whichcan play an important role for students who learn EE materials in an online setting. The uniquemeasurement features of the Analog Discovery kit can be appropriately applied to lower to upper-level courses [14]. Due to its readily available and portable nature, it will be beneficial forstudents who learn well with hands-on activities.

Thus, the project is a part of the curriculum in that students aregiven project options and must use software, design techniques, and presentation skills tosuccessfully complete the project following the steps of the engineering design process. Studentteams were able to self-select between three different semester long project options.Since two evaluations were done, the main purpose was to assess how engineering students’feelings of self-efficacy changes before a semester-long project versus after the fact regardingthe engineering design process and determine whether documenting this process made an impacton feelings of confidence, success, motivation, and anxiety
this approach as “advising as teaching.” [2,3, 6] Student ownership over their curriculum and academic experience is a central outcome ofdevelopmental advising, which charges advisors to help students integrate career and academicgoals and address their unique challenges and desires. [2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9] Developmental advisinghas been shown to increase student sa?sfac?on and reten?on, partly because of the personalconnec?on with a mentor. [2, 9] In 2008, Janine M. Allen and Cathleen L. Smith argued thatwhile faculty advisors recognized the importance of career guidance and other support tostudent success, they viewed their own advising responsibili?es as limited to ensuring studentsfulfilled gradua?on requirements.

space has recently been given to WSE education and dissemination [8]. Windengineering (WE) emerged in the mid-1960s when Cermak conducted the first comprehensivestudy of wind loading on a structure for the construction of the World Trade Center Towers. Thisstudy was performed at Colorado State University, since, at that time, it was the only institutionin the world that had an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) wind tunnel [9]. WSE has only beentaught for about 50 years and thus there are limited wind engineering (WE) tracks within civilengineering (CE) programs worldwide with limited streamlined or ideal curricula.The goal of this study is to identify and propose a streamlined and ideal curriculum for WEtracks within CE programs.
