I believe this is true at most, if not all, engineering schools.
In my ChE program, all the engineering disciplines (except EE) started together and as time progressed, different groups moved to their specialties (Civils after math and fluid mechanics, ME's after math, fluid mechanics and heat transfer). At my school, thermo was taught differently to ChE's and ME's or we would have taken this together as well.
