One of the mainobjectives is to teach students from novice to expert users preparing them with adequate fluidmechanics fundamentals and hands-on CFD project works to prepare for their capstone designprojects, higher education and advanced research in fluid mechanics. We have planned toincorporate a CFD educational interface for hands-on student experience in fluid mechanics,which reflects real-world engineering applications used in companies, government research labs,and higher education research.1. IntroductionComputational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been included as a senior-level Thermal-FluidsEngineering course in the curriculum of mechanical engineering program at many USuniversities.

Lankard also discussed the changes required to renew a person's career whichresults in a new way of learning [3]. These changes are also applied to traditional undergraduatestudents for getting an engineering job when they graduate. Traditional training of future manufacturing engineers is more concentrated on classroomlectures. It resulted in a more one-way communication environment---professors feedinformation to the students. It is difficult to provide students adequate training in people andculture related problem solving. To include the required training to the manufacturing program,extra elements have to be added to compensate the weakness of

AlthoughCabay et al.’s research was focused on their overarching experience as a doctoral student and notspecific to mentoring, their findings were similar in terms of their contrast: some opportunitiessupported their growth in identifying as a scientist (cf. theme 1), yet there were many incidentswhere they felt this support was missing (cf. theme 2) [10].

KLAs enhance understanding of software, hardware, and theirintegration through hands-on experimentation in a physical lab/classroom. However, the shiftfrom in-person to online classrooms, over the past year, has raised concerns about the viability ofKLA based teaching. In this paper, we recount lessons-learned, challenges, and opportunities inmoving from physical to virtual IoT labs.

.” The authors are attempting to integrateboth: to teach basic technical knowledge about energy and simultaneously to examine the social,political, and economic impact of energy-related decisions. Not only do engineers and scientistsneed to be smart concerning energy, but so do politicians, business professionals, journalists andhomemakers. Everyone will eventually engage energy issues on several levels – in personalfinancial decisions, as part of a local workforce consuming energy to provide a good or serviceto society, and as one member of the global population bearing the impact of energy on worldenvironments and economies.One additional interesting reason to promote holistic energy education was found in a recentinterview with Arizona State
