IntroductionETW is the direct descendent of the T4E workshop, Teaching Teachers To Teach Engineering1.T4E was funded through the National Science Foundation (NSF) for three years and wasprovided at USMA for engineering professors with less than four years of teaching experience,i.e., civil, mechanical, aerospace, electrical, chemical, etc. T4E was such a huge success1 thatASCE decided to continue the program under the ExCEEd Teaching Workshop moniker withone caveat: the

In a survey of aerospace professionals in laboratory,academe, and industry, it was noted that the respondents were not in favor of eliminating currenttechnical discipline boundaries as the base background for a student, but they did feel that theyshould be involved in interdisciplinary educational activities such as team design and teamproblem solving sessions1.The University of Arkansas Physics department has recently redefined the academic requirementsfor their degrees to allow more curriculum flexibility, allowing students to better tailor acurriculum for their career goals.

Manufacturing seems to get lost in all the more "sexy" engineering core programs (i.e., mechanical, aerospace, bio, etc.) ● Production of pharmaceuticals, medical devices and diagnostics according to FDA regulations.

The majority ofrespondents were from Civil, Environmental or Mechanical engineering, with smallerrepresentations from Aerospace Engineering, Chemical-Biological Engineering and otherengineering sub-disciplines. 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.

, and an examination of the gender composition of engineeringsubfields reveals the unevenness of the gains women have made. For example, women make up20.9% of tenured or tenure track faculty in environmental engineering and 19.4% in biomedicalengineering, but only 8.6% in aerospace engineering and 10.1% in mechanical engineering.iii Page 25.1481.2That academia and industry have been structured through predominantly male participation hasgiven rise to misconceptions, stereotypes and organizational cultures disadvantaging womenentering into those spaces. The politically charged gendered landscape, what Julie Desjardins(2010), a noted author on the
educators convince the need forincorporating CFD course in the curriculum of undergraduate engineering education. 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
