: Practical Solutions to Issues of ConsistencyAbstractHistorically, the disciplines of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics have been taught as separatecourses using separately developed textbooks. Most undergraduate students form an early beliefthat these two aspects of thermal-fluid science and engineering are as far removed from eachother as cats are from dogs. It is not until the senior year or even into their graduate schoolexperience that the student begins to understand and appreciate the underlying physicalconservation laws upon which both of these disciplines are based. As a result of mechanicalengineering curriculum revision at the United States Military Academy at West Point, NewYork, separate courses in thermodynamics and fluid mechanics

The instruction of systems engineering is a difficult task, as this new yet prevalent area ofengineering requires knowledge within a practitioner that encompasses breadth and depth acrossvarious fields of engineering1. It is a requirement that any systems engineer have both breadthand depth in various niches of engineering poses an interesting problem in the development ofany pedagogy relative to the instruction of key systems engineering fundamentals. Thesefundamentals include design alternative identification, cost assessments, interface integration,risk identification, and many others2. It is through the instruction of systems engineering that keyskill sets necessary for completing the complex engineering tasks of today can be attained

effectiveness of an engineering curriculum is measured by how well studentscan apply and integrate their technical knowledge to solve real life problems. The currentengineering curriculum has been designed to only to provide the theory, however, it doesn’tprovide the integration of how this knowledge can be applied. The courses that are taken aspreparation for system engineering students include standard mechanical studies such asstatics, dynamics, and structural analysis, but also, computer software and hardwarecourses that study C programming, circuit analysis and electronics. These types ofcollegiate engineering classes that are taken on a general level in all system engineeringdisciplines, are supposed to provide the theory that is needed to build

This allows freshmen to identify and develop an interest influid dynamics at the start of their undergraduate career, perhaps shaping their progressionthroughout the curriculum. Overall, this course is still somewhat a work-in-progress, but also aunique proof of concept for teaching computational modeling early in an undergraduatecurriculum.
