approach are reflected through the students’ successful completion of the project activities; in addition, the students learned how to use a single computer-aided design (CAD) package to engage in an advanced design and manufacturing analysis which is valued in industry as well as to solve difficult engineering problems. Besides that, the students gained lifelong learning and communication skills through micro-lecture preparations and presentations. In this work, in addition to the students’ performance in the course assignments, a pre- and post-course evaluation

possess elementary knowledge of aerodynamics and flight dynamicsbasics, which are typically part of the background at the junior/senior level. They should be familiarwith the geometry, role, and functionality of the aerodynamics control surfaces, as well as with thedifferential equations of motion reflecting the relationships between pilot inputs and the dynamicresponse of the aircraft [11, 12].Prior to performing the lab assignment, two to three lectures are dedicated to discussing the gen-eral types of malfunctions and damages affecting primary control actuators and their implicationson producing aerodynamic control forces and moments. Special attention is given to the jammedcontrol surface scenario, which is the target of the lab

. While we wait for LP toolsto be refined, instructors could consider implementing journaling or reflection prompts into theirhardware design assignments.The efforts reported herein represent only the beginning of the pedagogical possibility for LP inhardware courses. As we continue our parallel work that is exploring how LP and writing-to-learnstrategies support students who are at the early stages of learning to program, we will consider howthose findings can inform learning gains in upper level hardware courses. Additionally, the resultsherein support additional research into the effectiveness of instructor use of LP when presentingin-class examples. The results herein also provide evidence to support future investigations intothe differences
