• Resumen

  • Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology implemented a new sophomore curriculum starting in the1995±96 academic year. The sophomore year curriculum primarily concentrates on engineeringscience material that is traditionally covered in courses such as Dynamics, Thermodynamics I,Fluid Mechanics, and Circuits I. At Rose-Hulman this material has been repackaged into a newsequence of courses where the concepts of conservation and accounting permeate the courses. Thepurpose of this paper is to discuss how the mechanics material has been distributed throughout thecurriculum and how it is taught in the framework of conservation and accounting. Assessmentresults will also be presented.
