Vertical Integration
Should include the complete
integration of mathematics, physics
and engineering process together.
Schools such as those in the NSF
Foundation Coalition have
established such an experimental
integration program.
Pre-engineering courses
Math, Chem, Physics
Introduction
to ME
Introduction of computer and machine tool skills:
• Programming language (C, MathCAD, Matlab)
• Machine shop hands-on experience
• Introduce fundamental thermal concepts through
case studies (use model Sterling Engine: energy
concept, efficiency, etc.)

Due to logistic constraints and
other factors, we decided not to
try such a whole-sale
renovation at this stage.
Provide an overview of the engineering practice:
• Basic design process (ProEngineering)
• Communication skills (PowerPoint presentation)
• Introduce fundamental mechanics concepts
through case studies -- provide a connection
between the mathematical formulations and
physical concepts

Fluids Lab.
Horizontal Integration:
Provide “Just-in-Time” hands-on
laboratory experience
Increase the total number of technical electives
from two to four:
• Diversification
• Establish in-depth understanding of selective
subjects

Technical
Electives
Extend the design course from one semester to
a two-semester format:
• Emphasis on “In-Practice” learning by
analyzing through the entire design cycle
• Team-based projects in cooperation with
industrial partners whenever possible
Integrated Thermal/Fluid Course Description
 Integrate traditional subjects of Thermodynamics,
Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics into one coherent
two-semester course sequence
 Place emphasis on the connection between different
interdisciplinary subjects
 Conduct three one-hour lectures plus one three-hour
lab/workshop session
 Use real-world case studies throughout the class

Web-Based Delivery/Supplements
 Comprehensive course web pages were developed to provide
step-by-step on-line guidance
 Daily lecture notes, weekly workshop assignments and all
other class supplementary materials
 www.eng.fsu.edu/~shih/eml3015 (or 3016 for class II)
 A ROAD MAP section
 Guides students through different topics
 Provides a smooth transition
 Includes extensive hyperlinks to relevant subjects for beyondtextbook experience
