In response to a call from the National Science Foundation for curriculum reform and elimination of legacy materials in engineering curricula, faculty at the Colorado School of Mines (CSM) developed and offered a combined set of course modules in Fluids and Circuits. These modules consisted of a two-credit interdisciplinary course in fundamentals, followed by two one-credit modules focusing on applications in fluids, and in circuits, respectively. The course set reduced the overall number of credits from six (three in each of the standard Fluids and Circuits classes) to four through the 2+1+1 format. The fundamentals course was based on conservation/accounting principles for the concepts of mass, momentum, energy, and charge. Applications courses developed these ideas in the respective disciplines. This paper discusses the combined Fluids and Circuits course, emphasizing the unifying themes and the reduction in course content, and includes an assessment of student comprehension and learning.
