This paper documents an endeavor to achieve a balance between those two byfollowing McLaren’s [6] suggestion that the theory informs practice but experiential and practicalknowledge can be employed as a means to understanding and interpreting that theory. The objective is toapproach a math-based Aerodynamics class from a context of application, student-centered (SCEL) andinstructor-centered experiential learning (ICEL) at the same time

Utilizing theinterconnections and strengths between these three teaching pedagogies approaches a realistic,yet safe environment for posing open-ended problems for our students.Barrows 12 identifies six core features of PBL: 1. Learning is student-centered. 2. Learning occurs in small student groups. 3. Teachers act as facilitators or guides. 4. Problems are the organizing focus and stimulus for learning. 5. Problems are vehicle for the development of clinical problem-solving skills. 6. New information is
