themes using theQualrus software program, it seems that students not only understood what "failure" meant in thecontext of the aerospace environment, but they also enjoyed failing with their team members.This enjoyment of "failure" was frequently cited by students as being extremely important tothem. One possible reason is that collaboration with group members and hands-off teacherscaffolding provided the basis for a positive outlook on failure. The students appear to bemotivated by the spirit of the program, as represented by the dynamic interactions amongteachers, peers, and even practicing engineers. This motivation is central to students usinglearning strategies and social relationships to keep trying to find solutions, even when things
