Design Lessons in Education for Projects Demanding Cross-Disciplinary IntegrationIntroductionUAVs have been used for curricular development in a handful of pioneering instances[1]. Because of their external physical configuration, they are extremely interesting tostudents with hobbyist interests in radio-controlled aircraft, as well as to studentsinterested in careers in the aerospace industry. Though the reality of jobs in aerospace issuch that students will work on one small part of an airplane, UAVs offer the potential tointroduce students to all aspects of aerospace design, in a controllable microcosm [2], [3].However, UAVs offer different developmental opportunities outside the aerospacecommunity. Notably, they are an active
