andexperiential learning into a typical undergraduate engineering course.Overview of the Use of Models in Student LearningThe use of models to teach engineering concepts can be incorporated into a form of inductiveeducation. In inductive education, an instructor will first introduce problems or case studies tostudents and then introduce and explain theories and tools which can be used to solve the problems.The goal of this education type is to provide meaningful context to students prior to delivering therelated theory which can provide motivation. “You’ll need this for the exam” or “you’ll need thisin your career” may not provide sufficient motivation to engage the students in learning thetheories taught (5). The models can be used to illustrate real

Because of their external physical configuration, they are extremely interesting tostudents with hobbyist interests in radio-controlled aircraft, as well as to studentsinterested in careers in the aerospace industry. Though the reality of jobs in aerospace issuch that students will work on one small part of an airplane, UAVs offer the potential tointroduce students to all aspects of aerospace design, in a controllable microcosm [2], [3].However, UAVs offer different developmental opportunities outside the aerospacecommunity.

We are collecting data this semester as well, again for a “fully flipped class.However, in relation to evaluating the impact of the flipped classroom further into the future,perhaps we as an assessment community should begin to place more emphasis on longer-termmeasurement and evaluation after students have completed their undergraduate careers. Thus,perhaps we should be assessing flipped instruction into the future with our students to obtain amore complete understanding of its effectiveness. In addition, other outcome variables (besidesexam scores) may be needed to better demonstrate improvements with the flipped classroom orother enhanced pedagogies. This is

However,drones have been successfully incorporated into existing outreach activities to encourage studentsto pursue careers in science and engineering by many 5 15 11 .

Furthermore, shortened attention spans impede students from staying engagedand focused in math and science classrooms, resulting in poorer performance and diminishedinterest in pursuing technical careers. It has been shown that student involvement through hands-on activities and tinkering in and out the classroom can and does help student engage, focus andlearn better basic and more advanced engineering concepts.

He and his team had grown tired of testingand forewent some of their planned tests. The payload failed. “Testing is tiresome, tedious,boring, and essential,” said Mather. “If you do not test it, it will not work.”27 Years later, afterMather set aside his involvement in research related to cosmic background radiation, NASAoffered him the opportunity to fly the experiment in space on the Cosmic Background Explorer(COBE).
