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

We know from a long line of psychological studies that when we make decisions in themoment, they are not always well thought out and may in fact be detrimental to us in the fu-ture 8,9 . And even when we make a decision beforehand, if it is too easy to break that decisionwhen it matters, it is an empty decision. Constraining our future actions in such a way that wecannot change that decision has becoming known as a Ulysses Contract (sometimes also calledSelf-Paternalism 10 ).

Thecourse is offered each semester in two sections of approximately 60 students per section, one inthe early morning and one in the late afternoon. The course was developed in the late 1990s asone of the few general engineering courses implementing Studio-Based pedagogy with benchtopinstrumentation. Benchtop instruments were replaced by the Rensselaer Mobile Studio boardseveral years later and then to flipped instruction in 2010, again using the Mobile Studio asstudent-owned personal instrumentation.
