Similar to current aviation the crashes are documented with the logbooks andvarious reports to help identify the cause of the crash. Future Works Future works for this project include expanding this into a journal article regarding moredetailed sUAS tracking and logbook entry requirements. Modifying the class may be necessaryto achieve a more streamlined approach to the tracking and logbook aspects of sUAS. In additionto just using the educational aspect of tracking by pushing it for an industrial standard to be usedfor the airworthiness certification for airframe and propulsion methods on sUAS.

Division’s call for papers evenincluded “design projects outside of the 1st year and senior capstone courses” as an “emergingtopic of particular interest”. The BME design sequence at the institution studied includes threedesign-related courses in addition to the Introduction to Engineering and senior design courses.The second course in this design sequence is the undergraduate laboratory course, but the design-related task was not introduced in detail until after collection of student definitions. Since thisstudent population was the furthest removed from a design-related course assignment, it followsthat they would have the lowest frequency of design-related phrases in their definition of BME(12%).

, TeachStudents How to Learn [59]. Because the course was taught during a shorter summer session, timewas insufficient for students to conduct a full research project of their own. Instead, studentsworked to develop a research proposal. They chose a topic, conducted a literature review aroundthe importance of the work and any previous related work published, proposed methods to conductthe research, and listed expected results. This research proposal was presented as both a courseresearch paper submitted in hard copy and as a PowerPoint presentation. Students presented totheir class peers, while engineering faulty members were invited to the presentations to provide acritique of the students’ ideas.At the end of the course, students were surveyed again

Um, also there's certain attitudes that Ithink a lot of people put on-- like-- it's the way they sit-- there are certain people in the class who are leaning forward with their pencil and looking at their board, cause they want to know everything that's going on, they're hanging on the professor's every word; and there are certain students who are kind of laid back and will just call shots.”If engineering classes become spaces to project smartness, it creates conditions for students toreceive a message about a lack of smartness in themselves or to deliver such a message to others.Another student from

Most of this money and energy hasspent to create new sets of course materials—textbooks, learning materials and apparatus of allkinds, teachers' guides, and tests—and to prepare teachers to use them.The primary stage of analysis of the curriculum involves understanding the current curriculum, itsappropriateness to broader development and education policy objectives. During this stage, it isessential to building an understanding of how well the curriculum is

Picture This work is part of a larger project which spans multiple subjects and seeks to broadenunderstanding of STEM topics. This approach is meant to help both teachers and students,allowing for more innovative teaching and enhanced comprehension-based learning. The projectrecognizes that students learn in diverse ways, and attempts to appeal to those who learn bestthrough visual, intuitive, and engaging methods. It draws upon real-life experiences, as well asvarious STEM/STEAM examples and activities, and targets both an understanding andappreciation of basic concepts in STEM, including Physics/Mechanics, Calculus, Statics, ControlSystems, Digital Signal Processing (DSP), Probability, Estimation, and Computer Algorithms.The material can
