MechanicsAbstractComputational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has become an essential tool for the solution and analysisof fluid mechanics and heat transfer problems over the past few decades. CFD simulation canprovide valuable insight into fluid flow behavior and proven to be a feasible tool for modelingcomplex fluid flow phenomena with a better understanding of the flow characteristics. CFDanalysis uses physical laws to provide solutions for fluid flow problems in the form of partialdifferential equations. The undergraduate fluid mechanics curriculum is primarily based onanalytical fluid mechanics (AFD) where students are required to solve problems usingconservation of mass, momentum and energy equations. Solutions of differential and integralequations required for analysis of

Traditionally, control usingPLCs is not taught in a ECE undergraduate or graduate curriculum. However, an electrical and/ormechanical engineer needs these skills to work in a variety of industries. Typical ECEcurriculum includes control theory, analog and digital electronics but seldom include courses inPLCs and integrating them with different equipment. This missing link led to the development ofPLC and industrial instrumentation related courses in remote learning and technology programs[7]-[10

limit [2]. With the financial crisis that struck the country in 2008, efforts to manage the fiscal crisis replaced those to reduce the curriculum of the approximately 19% of degrees that remained above the 120-unit limit within the 23 campus system. The CSU Board of Trustees presented a proposal in September 2012 to achieve the unit reduction, in part, by eliminating all advanced GE requirements. This proposal was prepared with no faculty input, in direct contradiction to the deeply engrained shared governance culture within the CSU system. Faculty and campus outcry was immediate and aggressive. The Academic Senate at SJSU, in response to a mandate from the SJSU president, developed an alternative proposal that

Astudy by Cooper et al.2 integrated 39 studies examining the effects of summer vacation onstandardized achievement test scores. It was concluded that on average children's tests scoreswere at least one month lower when they returned to school in fall than scores were whenstudents left in spring. When measured in terms of mathematical and computation skills, moststudents lost about two months of grade level equivalency over summer vacation. According toCooper et al., more than half of the achievement gap between lower and higher income youth canbe attributed to an unequal access to structured summer learning opportunities; this
