tolerances becoming almost an afterthought.Although most engineering students are taught materials science as a fundamental science course,the curriculum downstream does not foster the incorporation of these principles into thesystematic selection of the most appropriate material for a certain shape and function, or thecriterion-based selection of the optimal manufacturing process. Tighter integration between theintroductory materials courses and the downstream design and manufacturing courses is just partof the solution. With the advances in materials and manufacturing technology, a plethora ofmaterials and processes has evolved. Undergraduate courses in design and manufacturing cannotprovide detailed coverage of all materials and processes, and

estimates as an importantand underutilized concept in K-12 education 2.Reference Points An understanding of the reasonableness of estimates is an invaluable metacognitive toolwhen a student is attempting to generate his or her own original estimates. Such understandingis referred to in the present work as a knowledge component (KC) and this is certainly amultifaceted one, referred to in related literature as an integrative KC 11, meaning one that iscomposed of smaller KCs. In order to assess the reasonableness of an estimate, it helps to havean understanding of related values. For example, for a student to estimate the dimensions of hisor her gas tank, it may be helpful for that student to think of related volume measures that mightbe more

This mismatch between what is taught,and the emerging technologies, highlights the need for curriculum updates. In addition, students often lackhands-on design experience and accessibility to commercial-grade thermal design software tools that enablethem to tackle complex, real-world problems. These skills are vital as students transition into theirprofessional careers.This paper proposes an improvement to an existing thermal system design course taught in the departmentof mechanical engineering

The demanding curriculum requires mastery of core subjects, especiallymathematics, chemistry, and physics, within the first year, and early academic success in thesesubjects is strongly correlated with long-term retention and degree completion [1], [2].Misplacement into inappropriate courses can impede student progress, undermining bothacademic outcomes and persistence.Mechanical engineering programs typically rely on
