Universities are educating researchers, engineers, designers,and architects while community colleges are educating students so they can further theireducation at universities, and they are educating the workforce to implement the designs andoperations provided by the engineers, designers, and architects.Curricula for Community CollegesThe need for such programs is supported by the rising cost of energy and depleting resources.Energy efficiency measures in the design of new buildings whether residential

the faculty saw thecourse as one without ownership. Normally, the faculty member assigned to the course viewed itas a teaching overload or as a service course which required significant preparation and did notcontribute materially to the generation of potential graduate students. In addition, it detractedfrom research. In short, the recurring problem with this course, independent of who taught it wasthat students did not like it. They saw it as an exercise in learning how to use CAD to producepretty construction drawings rather than a course that would improve their ability to address themany tasks, both technical and professional, that must be completed to produce a quality designand communicate with a client

proposed changes in teaching practices, but the litera-ture examining why large scale curricular changes succeed or fail is lacking. In regard to changesin teaching practice, researchers identified 18 categories of barriers and 15 categories of drivers[5]. The barriers and drivers were identified by interviewing faculty members and analyzing theirresponses to general questions about changes in teaching practice. In this study, however, weask faculty members about a specific curricular innovation that has been successful.The primary focus of this paper is on the sustainability of the curriculum and its effect on the fac-ulty members teaching it.

Theseskills are recognized as crucial for future engineers in their daily professional lives. However,there are concerns from employers and researchers that undergraduate students may not beadequately prepared to address such problems upon graduation [1‒3]. To make things worse,courses in thermofluids require a robust understanding of mathematics and extensively utilizephysics to explain physical systems. Heat transfer, in particular, introduces complex subjects thatmay appear even more difficult for students studying engineering technology.There have been some attempts at addressing the students’ problem-solving abilities

In response to this growinggroup of non-traditional students, many institutions are attempting to increase access to programsby experimenting with alternative educational delivery systems. Some courses employcorrespondence study, for instance, others one-way and two-way audio, video, or internet-basedlearning. Many are using a combination of both. In some cases, distance education may be asnear as the on-campus residence halls, the library, a student’s bedroom, or his or her workplace.One of the unique features of an educational program in a practice-oriented discipline such asengineering is that of the live, hands-on laboratory and design experience.
