Mastery of Course OutcomesIntroductionThis paper describes the development and evolution of interdisciplinary, experiential-learningwith carefully crafted reading assignments and an interactive activity that was usedsimultaneously in two different courses surrounding the same theme. The authors undertook thisproject because educational pedagogy suggests that experiential learning and interdisciplinarylearning should results in greater student-learning.1-4 Although the authors describe theirexperience with specific courses at their institution, the idea that experiential learning andcreating connections between classes from different disciplines can improve learning andenhance learning experiences could be employed at other institutions

In the United States, retention of underrepresentedminorities including women continues to be significantly lower than non-underrepresented men.[1] Our engineering college continues to have a large gender and ethnicity gap, with just 19.9 %female, 3.5% Latino, 1.8 % African American, 0.8 % American Indian/ Alaskian Native, and 0.2% Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander as of Fall 2014.

It’s not only crucial to comprehend and understandcomplex research, it’s vital to be able to communicate that information to individuals who maynot possess equivalent scientific intelligence.6 The curriculum is structured to give students acompetitive edge in the global market by creating a new breed of scientist that is able to bridgethe gap between science and business. Many students find that searching for a job aftergraduation can be daunting, and they lack the experience necessary for hiring. However, earninga MSPS degree is comparable to having 1-2 years of experience before even entering theworkplace.

Some changes have occurred in the correspondingtextbooks, which, over recent years, have moved towards being more engaging by includingexamples that are more applicable and realistic to the world students know. And yet the studentscan still struggle with mastering the key concepts within the course.In order to address this, the format of the heat transfer course was converted from a moretraditional lecture to an inverted format.
