-world applications for potential answers when STEM education is used as a majorcomponent of the innovation equation. STEM innovation is becoming increasingly important asthe needs of the world change and as we are faced with new challenges in a post-pandemicworld. This is because we need to find economical and sustainable solutions for the problems weface, whether it be improving digital literacy or eliminating world hunger and achieving betterfood security. Incorporating 3D printing into curriculum is giving STEM students theopportunity to discover how well the technology works in the industry and are providing them anadvantage if they choose to pursue a professional career in the STEM field.

However thereare loopholes associated with the integration of this new technology which is basically due to thelack of well-trained individuals in the field. These loopholes are basically twofold, the first is thescarcity of construction engineering programs within the universities with a dedicated course inBuilding Information Modeling and the second is the lack of consensus on what should be themain focus of the syllabi. While some courses are centered on the modeling aspect of thetechnology, the other tend to capture the gained benefits from its application for different phasesof project development.

This paper studies industry need for graduate knowledge and skill in fluid mechanics area and presents an ongoing curriculum reform process to transform an existing fluid mechanics course to a fluid power course. A multi-mode student learning process is developed and course is reformed to support an interactive pedagogical methodology. Beyond current teaching methods, tools are developed to foster a flexible inductive learning through hands-on applications. A multipurpose laboratory equipped with fluid power process, sensors, data acquisition system, and application programs is being developed.

developing analytical and problem-solving skills, practical experiencesprovide the context to apply these skills effectively [1]. Theoretical concepts, such as those inphysics, often serve as building blocks for advanced applications, but without practicalreinforcement, students may struggle to see their relevance to real-world scenarios.To bridge this gap, educational programs should consider integrating project-based learning orinterdisciplinary activities that connect theoretical principles with authentic, context-basedproblems. For instance, students could design and simulate an electromechanical system oranalyze energy efficiency in real-world devices.

To promote interdisciplinary environmental education and research, NorthDakota State University (NDSU) has introduced a graduate program in Environmental andConservation Sciences (ECS) in 2003. As part of this interdisciplinary program, a course inenvironmental management for ECS and civil engineering students was introduced.
