minds about aerospace engineering, though they hadyet to take an actual aerospace course. At the same period in time there was much publicity ofdownturns in the industry, etc., that likely influenced their decisions as much as any otherfactors. The number of our students continuing on into graduate school has been increasing, andwe are retaining more of our best undergraduates. Much of that trend can be immediately tracedto the introduction to students of senior research faculty in lectures to the intro classes, and thesubsequent employment of undergraduates on research projects that interest them. Building onthat interest and continuing into graduate research from undergraduate wage employment is adefinite consequence of the familiarity with

In a humble spirit,the purpose of this document is to provide a few of these guideposts.Course ObjectivesIt has been important from the outset that a laboratory course involving aircraft constructionbe more than one that merely turning students into “kit builders,” though that may certainly beone of the outcomes. The official course objectives of Aero 572, “Aircraft Manufacturingand Fabrication,” were specifically developed with this in mind. The course is offered twoquarters of every academic year, and the specific objectives as taken from the study guide arelisted and discussed below.13 The course objectives are to provide a hands-on demonstration and

In addition to educatingengineering students, the simulator will also be used as a promotional tool, both for theuniversity and the engineering department, and allow it to be a resource for what other needs theuniversity might have for a Stewart platform. With this in mind, a few more practical designgoals are being pursued. First, the simulator must be safe enough for people of all ages and sizesto ride in.

seems to make more sense in the way they are able to work, so I get a deeper understanding.□ Discussing helicopters and their components is a great way for the topics we are covering in class to come alive. It offers us another window in topics like stress and strain, and does so in a way that is interesting and very realistic.□ Any chance to relate real life engineering practices to what is being studied in the class is beneficial to everyone. In this case, helicopters fit the bill quite well.□ The theme approach is effective and should definitely be part of the class curriculum.□ Studying helicopters in our course in order to teach us about the different mechanical ele- ments is a great idea.

CDIO initiative in aerospace engineering, contextualization isfound to be a compelling learning approach that goes beyond the regular educationalenvironments: “The evidence for adopting a contextual learning approach is compelling. This approach encourages students to choose specific careers and remain in their respective career preparation programs. Learning environments and experiences set in professional contexts open students’ minds, enabling them to become more thoughtful, participative members of society and the workforce. Moreover, a contextual learning approach assists students in learning how to monitor their own learning so that they can become self-regulated learners.”52 As a point of

is why software simulations are so important notonly for the simulator but for engineering in general. Finding concrete evidence of a successfuldesign saves lives and saves money. Pinpointing weak points and fixing the issues before thefabrication of the final product are very important. For the simulator, our group started with apartially completed simulator which is why any changes to the design were so difficult. Thisforced our group to think outside the box and put all our minds and engineering skills to the test.

). It is very important for aneducator to make the students fully understand the problem before they have the chance to thinkof creative solutions while keeping in mind the importance of real-world application. By havingthe students understand the theory by means of application, the development of creative thinkingtakes place, transforming the students into better problem solvers (O'Brien and Abulencia, 2010). In a conventional classroom, lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy: knowledge,comprehension, and application are practiced (Bloom et al., 1956). The instructor introduces atopic, shows its applications, and assigns practice problems to the students with the goal ofrepetitive solutions making them familiar with engineering concepts

Therefore, the virtual technologies are useful visualization tool in learning thecomplex and conceptual problem that requires spatial understanding [13].
