The primaryfocus of the method proposed herein is to strongly align the relationship between thecourse objectives, the various tasks that a student performs during a course, and themethods that are used to assess those tasks. This paper describes the establishment anduse of this approach on a trial basis for a single course.I. IntroductionThe ABET 2000 accreditation criteria require that an institution have in place acomprehensive outcomes assessment program to ensure the quality and continuousimprovement of the educational process1.

forsolidifying personal meaning and purpose. What better place than in higher education toaddress such monumental and multi-faceted questions? These are the issues that studentswant to discuss, since the answers they uncover play a significant role in shaping andmotivating their future careers and lives. The fields of science and engineering have ahuge role to play in this discussion, but they need other disciplines to join them at thetable. Engineering students in particular are well equipped to address such big questions,but they benefit greatly from dialogue with students and faculty in other areas. If the goalof higher education is to produce well-rounded and responsible professionals, theninstitutions should seriously consider addressing the issue

Although many Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software packages such as CFXand Fluent are available in the market, their availability to undergraduate engineering curriculumhas been limited due to the following reasons1: ‚" The software is targeted towards industrial users and the cost tends to be high ‚" The users must have access to powerful, high speed
