have been experimental offerings of a first-year engineering coursethat incorporated a very extensive design-build-test-compete (DBTC) pedagogy. This course wasspecifically positioned to exercise core-engineering competencies, communication skills, andcreativity. The course is intense in that it involves two Aerospace Engineering team projects,integrated technical communications and technical content, teamwork, and individual scientificand fabrication laboratories. The projects involve design, build, test, and compete cycles withballoons and then with radio-controlled blimps. The students entering this DBTC course andother first-year courses were studied with respect to typical admissions criteria including highschool grades and test scores

Hazard analysis which relies on engineering practiceand judgment to identify, classify, and manage risk has continued to have an important role inforeseeing and preventing critical system failure2, 3 . Failure’s role in engineering; including itsvalue in design, design revisions and failure as a source of engineering judgment has beenstudied4, 5. The continued failure of important complex systems has led to assess the question asto how the systems fail despite everything thought to be necessary in the way of process beingdone6.Several engineering curriculums do offer courses based on either laboratories or case studies tounderstand the importance of failures in design as a teaching aid7, 8, 9, 10

Page 24.663.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Helicopters as a Theme in a Machine Design CourseAbstract The idea proposed here is to study helicopters and their components throughout a machinedesign course as a theme to teach students about different mechanical elements. A helicopter isan ideal system to exemplify the concepts taught in the course since all aspects of machinedesign are encapsulated in its design. Furthermore, a helicopter deeply pushes the limits ofsafety; the price of failure of one or more components or of the overall system is high (humanfatality). This suggests large factors of safety in the design, but there is an inherent tradeoff. Iffactors of safety are

Tothis, substantial content was added, pressed both from the lower level courses and from theaeroelasticity and design requirements. Some specifics follow:  1. As the curriculum was compressed, the time available to teach the basics of fluids and aerodynamics shrank from 20 quarter-credit hours spread over 4 courses with built-in lab experiences (13.9 semester hours), down to 11 semester hours over 4 courses including 2 hours of laboratory instruction. One of those lab hours was for propulsion/combustion.2. Personal computers allowed use of numerical techniques in classes in the 1990s.3. In the 2000s, various applets and on-line
