surprisingly little over the numerous decades in which it has been taught to aspiringengineers. Most instructors spend a portion of the lecture time teaching theoretical principles oftopics such as beam bending, superposition, and buckling, and the remaining time workingexamples on the board. Student assignments usually consist of additional problems solved withno more than pencil and paper. Most instructors may take students into the laboratory for aquick presentation or two, perhaps involving a tensile test or a demonstration in beam bending,but typically no more than this.Our Aerospace Engineering program has long attempted to have a strong laboratory componentand a “hands-on” approach to engineering education.

The firstsemester is a 2-credit course, consisting of a 1-credit classroom lecture and a 1-credit laboratoryelement; the second semester is a 1-credit laboratory course. The classroom portion is a seminar-style presentation of systems engineering tools such as requirements flow, work breakdownstructures, design drivers, trade studies and risk assessment.

One of the primary goals of engineering practice has always been to link theory withpractice, and true-life stories of engineering practice are both interesting and profound.5, 6Providing the student with his or her own true-life experience while at the academy increasesboth the motivation to master a subject and the developing passion for creative activity.

Often,it is seen if the student does not opt a lab course with the course dedicated to teach the theory, thearising situation somehow creates an ample chance of losing the students’ connectivity betweenthe subjects’ understanding and its practical importance. Also, due to a fixed nature of adequateset of equipment in the laboratory, the lab course on Control Systems can only provide a goodinsight on a limited number of prescribed problems/experiments. Even if there is a separate labcourse taken as a co-requisite, it is still very difficult to facilitate subjective experiences on avariety of computational problems of diversified nature. After

The survey results reflected the growth of students’ computer knowledge andthe acceptance of new technology application to today’s classes.It is believed that with continuously improving instructional videos, assessment methods, use ofup-to-date technology, hybrid design in the course will be accepted by more students, andprovide a more effective way of self-learning and interactive laboratory practice experience ascompared to traditional classroom style.References[1] A.
