The number of 2-year associate’s degrees in engineeringtechnology typically awarded by 2-year community colleges was on the decline from 38,483 inAY 2010-2011 to 27,918 in AY 2016-2017 while the 4-year bachelor’s degrees in engineeringtechnology awarded has increased from 5,811 to 7,779 in the same period of time [2]. Thepopularity of a degree major is typically driven by the demand for labor in the job market.

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
