IntroductionTraditional approaches to engineering curriculum and instruction are being changed in responseto current and anticipated priorities in cross-disciplinary linkages, systems approaches, andproject-oriented learning in interdisciplinary teams. This emphasis is evident in the EC2000criteria published by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology [1]. Under theEC2000 model, engineering programs are evaluated by assessing success in meeting statededucational outcomes, including ABET's basic outcomes a – k.One ABET outcome, the "recognition of the need for, and an ability to

Qualified professors with terminal degrees are not alwaysavailable in the engineering schools. A handful of students who are able to join graduate schoolsof engineering in the US have adapted to the flood of the new technologies.

engineering (ME) degree programs in the United States typically require either asingle 3 or 4 semester hour (SCH) course or a two-semester course sequence in thermodynamics.The first course focuses on the fundamental concepts and the second course focuses on applyingthe concepts in the design and analysis of more complex thermodynamic systems. In somedegree programs, the second course is not required but is an elective. Our ME program requiresa two-semester course sequence in thermodynamics: ME 3293 Thermodynamics I and ME 4293Thermodynamics II. In the first course students are introduced to such concepts as thethermodynamic systems, extensive properties, intensive properties, various forms of energies,work, heat transfer, conservation of mass and

a different problem 2.In order to help the students understand the application of each technique, the same genericproblem needs to be incorporated into each course. By showing the application of eachtechnique to the same problem, the resulting similarities and differences can be seen. The basicunderlying concept of this effort is to present material in a more cohesive fashion withintegration of materials and concepts interwoven between related courses. This fosters studentcomprehension so they can better grasp the inter-relationship of the basic STEM material. Inorder to accomplish this, simple first and second order systems are used. These are generic to allengineering problems. From these two simple systems, an array of inter-related
