Engineeringconcentration. Teaching this course sequence – one course during the sophomore year (EGR250) and one during the senior year (EGR 450) – I have found that the three core subjects –thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer – lend themselves well to being taught in anintegrated fashion. However, while the integrated approach seems slightly more efficient thanteaching the courses separately, it is not feasible to cover all of the material from the 3 or 4separate courses. In addition, while great textbooks have been written for integrated Fluid-Thermal Science courses, providing good macroscopic overviews and breadth, they tend to lackthe level of depth desired to develop critical higher-level analysis skills.In 2010 I moved from a larger department

- Hannifin Aerospace and Hewlett-Packard Inkjet. Henderson was featured in the eBook—Engineers Write! Thoughts on Writing from Contemporary Literary Engineers by Tom Moran (IEEE Press 2010)—as one of twelve ”literary engineers” writing and publishing creative works in the United States. Henderson’s current project is an engineering writing textbook which pioneers a new, math-based teaching method using algebraic equations and computer algorithms to develop language skills in engineers and other left- brain thinkers.

However, peaking at 4000 kWh was an issue that led to a Page 23.1149.10partnership with General Electric to build the first turbo generator (i.e., powerful steam turbine),which was smaller and produced 5000 kWh per generator than his current generators 18, 25.Having these engineering improvements allowed Chicago Edison to obtain the transportationmarket as customers by generating electricity for the industry and fund electrical chargingstations for the vehicles 18.Insull
