“Airworthy” is that the item “conforms to approved type design, and is incondition for safe operation.” (3) The first part of that definition is objective, and the second partis subjective. Since aviation maintenance is primarily based upon following proceduresestablished by the manufacturer of the product, most laboratory projects tend to be objective innature. The student either accomplishes the task in accordance with the maintenance instructionsprovided by the manufacturer or not. Although this effort is partially based upon the FAAspecified levels of proficiency, projects should also include grey areas where the student mustinspect and analyze a condition, and determine whether or not the product can be “Returned toService” with no additional

pursue a graduate education at the University of New Mexico. Throughout his undergraduate degree, Francisco was the President of the NMT Society of Automotive Engineers Student Chapter. During his time as president, the chapter grew to become one of the largest chapters in the world. He also volunteered at the NM State Science and Engineering Fair and NM State Science Olympiad. Francisco was awarded the NMT Student Appreciation Award (2013), the DOE Summer Visiting Faculty-Student Fellowship at Sandia National Laboratories (2013) and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Outstanding Scholarship Award (2012

Finally, author presents a studyof students’ assessment, grasping capabilities and challenges to make it thorough and rewardingfor undergraduate research experiences in Systems Dynamics & Controls and AerospaceEngineering.1.0 INTRODUCTIONIn the curriculum of the Department of Engineering and Aviation Sciences, there are twocompulsory courses on Control Systems; one is purely on learning the linear (classical) controlmethods very first time and the other course is on familiarizing the concepts of classical controlin the laboratory settings integrated with a

interest in the topics, and make the mate-rial more alive. In the Fall 2013, case studies and example problems were developed and supportmaterials, including movies, photographs, diagrams, and helicopter manuals, were collected. Theapproach is being tested in the Spring 2014 in a required 4-credit junior-level mechanical engi-neering course “Design of Machine Elements” at Marquette University. The course has 3 hoursof lecture and 2 hours of laboratory each week. In the last several years new laboratory experi-ments that promote discovery learning have been created for this course. A description of Mar-quette University's Machine Design Laboratory and experiments developed for the course hasbeen reported at last year's ASEE Conference.4

different types of electronic warfare. 2. Analyze and design several antenna systems. 3. Analyze and predict RF propagation characteristics under various conditions. 4. Describe the function and operation of a range of military systems. 5. Apply a variety of EW techniques and characterize their effectiveness in different operating environments.Although there were several homework assignments and quizzes during the course, the toolsused for summative assessments were three midterm exams, a comprehensive final exam, and asubset of the laboratory exercises.Objective one was evaluated using questions from exam one and the final exam, with a classaverage of 82.3%. No changes were recommended. The second objective was assessed withboth exam
