science methods lecturer in the Childhood Education Department at SSU and Dr.Deborah Mason-McCaffrey, a physics professor in the Chemistry and Physics Department atSSU both teach the same engineering module to their students, a module centered on variances inatmospheric density, aerospace and aeronautical engineering, and different technological designsof parachutes. After students have participated in a number of preparatory engineering activitiesand experienced background content important to the unit in both courses, the two professorsbring their classes together to engage in the engineering challenge of designing parachutes thatmeet specific criteria. In this experience, students from both courses collaborate and learn fromeach other.Dr. Bade

Students bound for Computer Science,Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering take a digital version of the second EngEcourse. Students bound for the other engineering disciplines offered by the college (Aerospace,Biological Systems, Chemical, Civil, Engineering Science and Mechanics, Industrial andSystems, Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical, Mining and Mineral, and Ocean) takea graphics/design version of the second EngE course. The common first course is anintroduction to design and provides opportunities to explore the possible majors within thecollege. The seven exercises presented

For validity and reliability determination, a sample size of 10respondents per question was targeted for the 65-question survey. The realized number ofresponses was slightly fewer than this target, but was considered close enough for validity andreliability purposes.

Thus,number of universities that develops and implements a CFD course for undergraduate andgraduate engineering students is growing every year, especially for mechanical, civil,biomedical, energy, and aerospace engineering disciplines 2, 3, 4, 5. Incorporating a CFD into thefluid curriculum will not only benefit to have better understanding and visualization offundamental fluid dynamics and prepare them for higher studies and research but also support toachieve their short and long term career goals. Furthermore, it is felt that an early introduction toCFD may inspire the students to take advanced fluid mechanics courses or go to
