research that indicates that the need to supportengineering faculty in curriculum development efforts so that all identities are represented andfully integrated into the engineering curriculum, assignments, and assessments [33], [37], [38].This is critical because students who have minoritized identities are able to recognize that notonly is their own identity excluded from the curriculum, but also other minoritized identities,which can amplify these students’ sense of isolation and lack of belonging in the engineeringmajor and career. Designing curricula, assignments, and assessments that reflect diverseperceptions of engineers and engineering work can help cultivate the professional formation ofengineering identity and encourage students with

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. A series of laboratory practices based on use of fluid mechanics principles in industrial applications would

However, the challenge for a first year engineering programis balancing the required background knowledge for design against a procedure fordemonstration; this is an even greater challenge for a common curriculum.
