devotes itself to the theoretical and computational modeling of thermo fluid and energy systems. His interests span both low and high speed fluid mechanics, multiphase flows, hydrody- namic and acoustic instabilities, engine internal flow fields, vorticity dynamics, combustion, alternative fuels and CFD. His research activities since 2008 have materialized in over twenty publications in first- rate journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings. His work on flow modeling for two after-bodies trapped vortex combustion has led to the establishment for new design correlations for the TVC technol- ogy.

Withthis definition, one can view the different disciplines of engineering as bringing to bearmathematics and their respective natural sciences to form a solution. Chemical engineers wouldemploy lots of chemistry, civil and mechanical engineers would naturally use lots of Newtonianphysics, electrical engineers would employ solid-state physics and electro-magnetics, computerengineers would use more computer science, etc. With such an interpretation, engineers in thedifferent sub-disciplines are very much alike

These hands-on activities allowed the students to get a view ofthe numerous components required to make one product, the multitude of materials (i.e. plastic,metal, etc.) required, and analyze those materials’ environmental impact.Lastly, to further strengthen the students’ understanding of LCA, game design was introduced tothe students by connecting and re-introducing the principles of engineering.

For this reason,the National Academies of Science have called for scientists and educators to develop systematicprograms that improve spatial thinking skills [6].1.1 BackgroundThe 2020 global pandemic brought about an urgent need for meaningful online engineeringcurriculum and activities. The creative use of teleconferencing applications with breakout roomsand learning management systems like Google classroom allowed for many successfulinteractions between teachers and students. However, high school engineering programsstruggled to provide students with hands-on experiences because all activities had to be limitedto materials and supplies found in the students’ home.In fall 2020

, first-year engineering honors students definitelyhave to know fundamentals, and be good at mathematics and sciences. They also require anunderstanding of the role of modeling, visualizing something for manufacturability (asdemonstrated in the hands-on design projects), and gaining interaction and leadership experiencein a project team. Among all the curriculum content from an engineering perspective, thefirst-year engineering honors class is responsible for letting students know and understand theessential key elements of engineering, telling them what it is and how to use it. Undoubtedly, thedesign-oriented FEHP-US classes follow this approach.It goes without saying that training sessions of different disciplines concerning mathematics
