Finally, the fourth lecture,“Electrokinetics in Microfluidics”, provided a comparison of electroosmotic microfluidicpumping with pumping and valving by MEMS and pumping by passive valves. It also includedon-chip function of electrophoretic separations in microchannels.Laboratory Module IV: Effect of Ionic

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
