The course content is usually challengingfor students with significant amount of theory and numerous new concepts introduced. In a fluidmechanics course, only a limited amount of state-of-the-art technologies and real-lifeapplications can be included, given the limited time and the material that should be covered.Information on market and career opportunities are often not mentioned in fluid

In-depth information about the evaluation results, course map and instructionalstrategy are provided in this paper.IntroductionEngineering curricula have experimented with multiple methodologies that expose students toreal-world problems. There are also deep concerns about American internationalcompetitiveness, amid indications that the U.S. is doing a relatively poor job at retaining andtraining students in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines14.Too many talented students get the impression from introductory courses that

This set of programs has been assigned toASEE for purposes of providing program evaluators (PEVs) for accreditation visits.Further, this paper provides a look ahead at the prospective accreditation review load for ASEEPEVs. This information is important in helping to estimate the number of ASEE PEVassignments that will be needed over the next several years.

At the end of this development ladder, we find the future - interdisciplinary engineers who are leaders in industry, technology, and academia. In this effort, via research transfer and examples, another goal is the recruitment of middle school and high school students and the retention of freshman engineers. Recruiting and retention can be increased by creating awareness and improving the image and perceptions of engineering during the early educational stages. This goal will be accomplished by navigating the students through the maze of engineering fields using
