Weargue that understanding the who, what, and when of the recommendations is essential todeveloping a national strategy for moving forward in a way that does not duplicate previousefforts, and ultimately leads to the type of impact we long to realize.

Bernoulli’s equation(Bueche, 1980). In Munson, Young, and Okiishi (2006) the third chapter following introductoryand fluid statics chapters is entitled “Elementary Fluid Dynamics – The Bernoulli Equation”.This chapter precedes material where the more complete momentum and energy principles areintroduced. When asked what are governing principles of fluid dynamics, it is no surprise thatmany students answer “Bernoulli’s equation”.However, since it has the four assumptions of incompressible flow, steady state flow, frictionlessflow, and either irrotational flow or flow along a streamline its quantitative abilities are quitelimited. Students easily learn Bernoulli’s equation from hearing a lecture, seeing a few examples, Proceedings of

topic that provides a foundation for more advanced courses, butsometimes leaves students wondering how it applies to their future work as an engineer. That is,how is it relevant to them? This question cannot be answered with a mechanical pencil and acalculator. It can, however, be answered through a writing assignment. In fact, a limitlessopportunity exists to incorporate writing into essentially any engineering course. If it can bedone with statics, it can be done anywhere else in the curriculum. When it occurs in the contextof engineering courses, it becomes relevant to engineering students.Where else but in engineering courses can students be provided the opportunity to write a designmemo or specification?

The course material includes the concept of a feedback control system and the parts of acontrol system. In addition, they must also review and dust-off the skills learned in applyingLaplace transforms to the solution of initially inert, linear differential equations with constantcoefficients. In addition, they must understand and appreciate the reality that real processes areneither simple nor linear. Finally, they must be convinced that linear concepts are very adequateto the understanding of a regulatory control system. The LOs covered in the first section of thecourse, 1-6, are

Since topics were added over the span of adecade, often times without other material being removed, each new concept was treated more asa module, rather than being fully integrated into the course, and the result became a catch-alltype course with little topical continuity from week to week. Furthermore, the workload for boththe faculty and students became significantly greater than what would reasonably be expected ofa course with a one-credit hour designation.  Figure 1 shows the course learning outcomes from the previous version of the course (comparingthem to the revised course learning outcome), and Figure 2 shows how the course evolved from2009
