HOW TO TEACH (ALMOST) ANYBODY (ALMOST) ANYTHING

So it seems that it’s no longer enough for you to teach about the Navier-Stokes equations and potential flow past submerged objects. The ABET coordinator says that students in the fluids course have to be taught oral communications too, and the department head got inspired at some workshop and now wants to teach critical thinking in every course, including fluids. You argued at the faculty meeting that it’s all you can do to get through fluids in the fluids course but got little sympathy, and it looks like there’s no way out of it.
