a marker of true conceptualunderstanding [12], [13], [14]. Studies of representational competence (or fluency) also exist inthe engineering education literature, though to a lesser extent [9]. Well-developed spatial abilitiesrelate to the development of representational competence in many content domains because theseskills connect to the ability to form and manipulate mental representations. These skills are alsohelpful for to drawing accurate diagrams (e.g. free-body diagrams) that are important tocoordinating information and solving problems of increasing complexity [4].Modern 3D printing technology makes it relatively easy and affordable to produce physicalmodels that offer learners concrete representations of otherwise abstract

In a comprehensive article entitled, “Trends in Simulation Technologies for AircraftDesign,” an Engineer-in-the-Loop Simulator (ELS) is found to be effective, and the authorconcludes that “optimization techniques can be combined successfully with modeling andsimulation to improve the quality and efficacy of the [aircraft] design.”5 These concepts areimportant features in this project since undergraduate engineering students in future courses willbe designing custom aircraft and then “closing the loop” by virtually piloting the aircraft to testtheir designs. The aircraft modeling and simulation software/hardware will then allow them tooptimize their designs as they

Taxonomy [3], [4], which identifies six levels oflearning. From lowest to highest these are: 1. Remember 2. Comprehend 3. Apply 4. Analyze5. Synthesize 6.

Thisincludes not only higher grades in courses, but also greater “mastery of higher- versus lower-levelcognitive skills” [6].The present work describes the application of active learning of holistic engineering practice in asophomore-level thermodynamics course sequence.

The task of transferring theintellectual and technological products to these customers is far from simple, and in many casesmay require the University to adapt to the culture of the end-user or users. Nowhere is this ideamore applicable than in the high-level education of people, where the product is actually humandevelopment.
