CFD code enable undergraduate engineering students toperform CFD analysis of heat and fluid flow problems providing better understanding of heatand fluid properties, and their phenomenon. Using CFD simulation tool in undergraduateresearch can significantly improve the understanding of various fluid flow phenomena asstudents are able to visualize the flow domains using the simulation for different boundaryconditions. We describe an innovative plan for the development, implementation, and evaluationof an effective curriculum of CFD intended as an elective course for undergraduate andintroductory course for graduate level students. The curriculum includes learning objectives,applications, conditions, exercise notes with a proposed course

It could also be useful to perform a cross-sectional study of student enrollments before and after a campaign targeted towards increasingrural STEM students for a given university or geographic area. A large scale qualitative studycould provide insight into the rural pathways into STEM fields and various obstacles that ruralstudents face. Finally, while this paper focused on rural students, an equally interesting andimportant study using a similar methodology could consider the geographical distribution ofSTEM students in an urban region to assess whether

. Then in the 1980’s whenECPD became the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, new criteria weredeveloped that required adequate laboratory practice with plans for instrumentation maintenanceand replacement required for every engineering program.2 In 1999, ABET introduced a new setof assessment criteria known as EC20003 providing an impetus for engineering programs toincrease the amount of laboratory instruction and activities. While EC2000 does not explicitlyrequire laboratory instruction, outcomes requiring graduates to design and conduct experiments,interpret and analyze data, function on multi-disciplinary teams, communicate effectively, usemodern engineering tools all indicate an increased emphasis on laboratories within

ABET lists“an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create acollaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives” as astudent outcome in its outcomes-based assessment of engineering curricula [1]. Early careerengineers often describe effective teamwork and interpersonal skills as the most importantcompetencies in their jobs [2, 3]. The formation of teams can significantly affect how well a teamworks together, and team formation and function have been studied in engineering curriculum fordecades [4–6].

More complex sketches would require significantly more time to fully constrain particularly for a novice. Interestingly, this potential advantage in more efficient sketching did not yield the best overall modeling time for Designer 3 as can be seen from the Total Modeling Time in Table 3. This time includes the effort taken to first develop a modeling strategy i.e. the features that will be used and the sequencing. It may be that Designer 3 took more time to develop this when planning their strategy with the goal of using simpler
