In addition, the research program: Fluid Dynamics andHydraulics was a co-sponsor of the workshop and we are maintaining our contacts with that Pro-gram Director.Although we are aware of no other study that directly parallels our effort, significant energy hasbeen expended recently toward improving undergraduate fluid mechanics. These efforts can bedivided roughly into the following three categories: integrating fluid mechanics and thermal sci-ences into a sequence of undergraduate courses7, 9, 11, 14, 15; using computational fluid

With this course placed in the firstsemester of the sophomore year, it serves as the introduction to Geospatial Analysis. Skillslearned serve as a basis for upper level courses such as Geotechnical Engineering, Water QualityEngineering, and Water Resources Engineering. The course also serves as an introduction toCivil Engineering as it is the first departmental course encountered by CEE students. It thereforeplays a role in retention.One of the major problems in teaching a course that relies heavily on computer systems, is theneed to

The field of electrical engineering is growing so quickly that it is a challenge to offer studentsbreadth and depth in their post-graduate curriculum. This is particularly true in the mixed-signaland telecommunications areas. The Electronic Design Automation (EDA) industry has madesuch rapid advances in the past decade that universities have struggled to provide students withthe knowledge of how some of the CAD tools perform their tasks. Indeed, in a bachelor’s degreeprogram in electrical and/or computer engineering it is difficult to even incorporate usage ofmany of the industry standard tools.
