Session 3202Learning More From Class Time: Technology Enhancement in the Classroom Marilyn J. Smith, Narayanan Komerath School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of TechnologyAbstractThe traditional classroom lectures in engineering do not permit professors or students to keeppace with technological changes within rapidly changing disciplines. By using technology, theclassroom lecture can be modified so that class time becomes a laboratory of learning andreinforcement through iteration and application. This approach is also very timely since itdirectly develops the engineering attributes set forth in ABET

integrated has been shown to lead to decreases in development time, engineering changes,and time to market and to increases in overall quality, productivity, dollar sales and return on assets [1].Central to the reduced design cost are the use of numerical simulations. This is especially true in theaerospace field. Hoist et. al. [2] argue that the development costs for advanced vehicles are escalating ‘-due the constant desire in the commercial field for advancement in aerodynamic, fuel, and propulsionefficiency, weight reduction, flight stability and control, and environment al factors. One way to containthese costs is to place a greater emphasis on computer simulations. However, the simulation of theperformance of complex aerospace vehicles is

Students who participate in cooperative education programs, internships, andthose who transfer into the upper division from other disciplines and colleges have often sufferedgraduation delays from limited course offerings. These delays often arose from prerequisites forand sequencing of laboratory courses. However, a survey of activities

Aeronautical Engineering Technology program has senior level capstone courses thatintegrate knowledge gained through undergraduate courses. Three of these capstone coursesrequire the students to plan, design, build, test, and implement product or process improvements.Faculty members have designed these courses in the curriculum to focus students on productdesign and process improvement. The courses use Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology andtechniques as a structured approach to problem-solving, product design, and processimprovement. This combination of design project experience and LSS knowledge is anadvantage for graduates seeking careers in aerospace and aviation, as the LSS methodology iswidely used across multiple disciplines to achieve dramatic
