Drones come with an ideal combination oftechnical and ethical challenges that will force students from both schools to wrestle togetherwith unfamiliar questions. One of our primary learning outcomes will be for this struggle tocultivate individual empathy across disciplinary boundaries.

Assessment tools included exams, a term project and weekly homeworkassignments, some of which incorporated the development of a numerical code for simulatingfailure of composite plates. The term project focused on replacing a part in a current design witha part fabricated from composites, including specification of manufacturing processes and testingof the composite part.Pre- and posttests were used, along with an end-of-term survey, to identify growth in studentunderstanding related to composite materials over the
