A simple laboratory experiment or demonstration will provide the foundation(observations or data) from which the inductive process is initiated. It is interesting to note thatin elementary school the science subjects are being taught use a text written in an inductivestyle.1We have integrated inductive learning into our coverage of Freshman Clinic, fluids, heat transfer,mass transfer and transport phenomena. In heat transfer, for example, simple heat exchangerdesign is the first topic addressed in the course. Discussion of the significance of the overall heattransfer coefficient provides a meaningful framework for introduction of topics such asconduction and convection

Providing an understandingof how topics covered in one course relate to previous courses in the curriculum allows studentsto see the overlap earlier and observe design options. The objective of this research was to integrate the same design project longitudinally intwo introductory structural design classes at multiple universities in order to introduce the ideasof iterative design and design options and reinforce common, key concepts. Longitudinalcurriculum integration is frequently associated with freshman and sophomore level courses andoften used to enhance student retention by maintaining interest in their field of study
