The call emphasized creating scalable, technology drivensolutions that were transdisciplinary in nature and aligned with the future of work. In response,we proposed the development of a series of online, university-to-workplace focused informationgathering and application modules, embedded in a micro-credentialing platform with a scalablestructure. Our proposed goals were to 1) design, create, pilot, and assess the undergraduate ILworkplace modules 2) and to promote and share our materials widely on campus so that anyinstructor could adopt the modules and badges for their students, à la carte based on the needs oftheir populations.

The first course focuses on the fundamental concepts,where students are introduced to many definitions and fundamental concepts, such asthermodynamic systems, extensive or intensive properties, forms of energies, work and heattransfer, conservation of mass and energy, and the second law of thermodynamics. Students alsolearn to use tables, charts, appropriate equations, and software programs to evaluatethermodynamic properties. Basic power, and refrigeration

Simultaneously, however,virtual learning was observed as a major challenge to instruction, and teachers at schools servingrural, low-income, and Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students were more likely to face these chal-lenges. Higher education faculty also reported that it took more of their time to teach online andstudent learning was hampered by students’ family obligations, poor internet access, and mentalhealth issues [20].

This definition, often used when considering innovationin engineering education, places emphasis on “new,” alluding to creativity, and “useful,”alluding to the innovation having beneficial outcomes for the person or their organization [5].Recent years have seen a growing awareness of the need for educational programs that promoteinnovation (e.g., [6], [7]).

Based on feedback from students the module haschanged the way they think and added to the intellectual capital that the students develop.The new methodology has been recently evaluated with encouraging results.

Of present interest is integration ofcomputational fluid dynamics (CFD) into undergraduate engineering courses and laboratories.CFD is a widely used tool in fluids engineering with many specialty and commercial CFD codesthrough out the world covering many application areas. One major obstacle to the greater use ofCFD is lack of trained users.Fluid mechanics courses are included in the curricula of most engineering programs, with bothprogram required and technical elective courses. Program required courses are at both theintroductory and advanced levels, whereas technical elective courses are at advanced levels.More than one program often requires introductory level courses (e.g., mechanical, civil, and bioengineering
