bachelor’s degrees has declined by almost40% [3]. At the same time, the demand for engineering graduates for engineering jobs isforecasted to rise by 25% to 30% by the end of the 21st century [4].Research shows that this decline is due primarily to the lack of first-year students expressing aninterest in engineering at the beginning of their college careers. Youth career interests aremoving away from engineering and science to business and management. In addition, many ofthose who enter engineering in the first year switch to a different major after their first or secondyear of study. These attrition rates range from 30% to 50% depending on the institution [5-7].The dropout rate is even higher for underrepresented groups, reaching nearly 70

Internal and external flows are examined next,then potential (inviscid) flows and compressible flows. The books conclude with a chapter onturbomachinery. There is absolutely no way for an instructor to cover this much material withequal thoroughness. Thus choices must be made as to which topics to emphasize.

For instructors, the general attempt is to keep up with the students' learning pace byadjusting the course activities, and possibly content to the students’ capabilities. At the same time,the instructor is seeking ways to communicate ideas to the students in meaningful and relatableways. The goal of the instructor is to facilitate their learning and provide them the ability to employthese concepts in their future courses and careers. The hope is that students can learn, be engagedin the process of learning, and can adapt to what they learn as they progress in their careers.Expectations, Expected Role of Students: Students ViewAs a student, the expectation is that the instructor is fair/unbiased

This dichotomousframework of personal value (and subsequent motivation) was initially proposed by Bakan in1966 and was designed to categories people into two sets of “human existence” [17]: theAgentic (those preferring “getting ahead” [18]) versus the Communal (those preferring“getting along” [18]) [17],[18].Diekman et al.
