A review of the top ten Mechanical Engineeringundergraduate programs, according to U.S. New and World Report, indicates that only oneschool offered an integrated Thermal-Fluids sequence.4 That school offered the traditionalThermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics courses as well thus not fully switching the curriculum toan integrated method. The authors also examined the curriculum of the two peer serviceacademies’ ME programs and found that only the U.S. Naval Academy offered an integratedThermal-Fluids sequence, while retaining the traditional Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanicscourses in their offerings.

Aneducational psychologist who studies interdisciplinarity says, "The problems in the world are notwithin-discipline problems, we have to bring people with different kinds of skills and expertisetogether. No one has everything that's needed to deal with the issues that we're facing [4].”Solving real-world problems requires an interdisciplinary approach since many problems requireseveral disciplines’ technical expertise and a collaborative melding of those techniques [5].Nanotechnology, the field common to both courses, is currently described as a multidisciplinarycollection of fields [6].

Typically, a designer is given an explicit list of programmaticrequirements and a brief narrative.[8] From this, one formulates a sense of the problem, an idea,and the design directions to take to solve the problem. In the real world, the owner usuallyconfirms the architect’s sense of the problem and ideas. In a student design competition, thisbecomes a process of lonely soul searching of where to start because the mechanism of socialconfirmation is missing and their experience is limited.How does a student start the process of problem interpretation? Coming to a sense of what theproblem is really about is more than the sum of a list of function requirements. It involves manyunseen and unknown variables that result in a guess of
