During these introductory courses, students report the study of fluid mechanics as abstract,relying on difficult mathematical concepts, and presenting only uninteresting problems that lackconnection to real-world engineering challenges and applications [1]. Notably, researchers havereported that students’ experiences in introductory fluid mechanics courses relate to a negativeperspective shift in their perceptions toward the field [2]. Taken together, these observationssuggest that there is a need to involve students in fluid mechanics activities earlier, and withauthentic and interesting curricula for the purpose of garnering interest and intuition in the topicof fluid mechanics.

During a recent reaccreditation by ETAC/ABET,several engineering technology programs demonstrated successful use of PIs for outcomesassessment and improvement processes.Rubrics have been developed as tools to provide direct measurement of student performance ineach of the SOs.
