Passing this course allows studentsto continue into freshmen and sophomore level engineering classes while they are still continuingto finish the traditional sequence of Calculus courses. This course was recently added to theengineering curriculum at University of Detroit Mercy’s (Detroit Mercy) engineering program.This paper discusses the course content and the experience of teaching it to the engineeringstudents, along with its impact on retention and student success.

Asnoted in a recent Physics Today article on student evaluations of teaching (SETs), “The degree ofdisparity varies by discipline, course, level, institution, and other factors, but across the board,SETs penalize women, underrepresented minorities, nonnative English speakers, and older andphysically less attractive instructors of both sexes,” (Feder, 2020).It is therefore of great interest to better understand the conscious or unconscious biases present inmodern day students with respect to race and gender. Through understanding the biases of currentstudents, one can better anticipate the intervention needs of the future workforce. For example, arecent study of nursing and psychology students identified an implicit bias against

In the same vein, combining interactivity withtextbooks has begun to create big data in the engineering classroom.Student-centered teaching techniques are commonly called active learning [3-8]. This type ofpedagogy focuses on students learning by doing in many cases. Despite the large body of evidencesupporting these best practices of teaching, adoption is not the norm.

Students with this learning style benefit from theoreticalcoursework that is heavily reinforced with hands-on laboratory experiences. Although there areseveral lab components in these courses, they do not always address the core concepts that thestudents are struggling with. Classroom exercises are developed to help students betterunderstand certain important concepts in thermal-fluid sciences. This paper presents thedevelopment of classroom exercises for the pressure of fluid. Pressure of fluid is the mostimportant concept in fluid power course for mechanical engineering technology students. It isvery difficult for students to understand that the pressure of the
