Teacher PD has been shown toimprove student achievement in science [14], and PD is considered imperative to the realizationof standards in curriculum [15]. Teachers are typically required to earn a certain number ofcontinuing education credits (CEUs) as part of their work contract. CEUs may be earned anumber of ways, including workshops and courses at nearby institutions, however this can beproblematic. One-shot workshops designed for teacher enrichment can be useful, howeverlonger-term PD programs are required to support standards which reach all students [15]. Thelimitations of the

Most undergraduate students form an early beliefthat these two aspects of thermal-fluid science and engineering are as far removed from eachother as cats are from dogs. It is not until the senior year or even into their graduate schoolexperience that the student begins to understand and appreciate the underlying physicalconservation laws upon which both of these disciplines are based.

However, much of theshared faculty-examples of the new EM-infused content involves adding or revising an existingterm project, or revision of an entire course completely.
