Assessment of the lectureassignments was uniquely based on active participation by the students, including the learningprocess, delivery of the assigned content, and students’ ability to keep the audience engaged.Class performance through projects and homework assignments revealed that students enhancedtheir knowledge of aircraft stability and control through flight simulator experience, iterativehomework assignments, and by preparing and presenting assigned lectures. Reflections from thestudents showed that they greatly benefitted from the intuitive theoretical learning through theuse of flight simulator.Introduction In the field of engineering, development of both

Gold paint: Commonly used on rovers, gold paint’s high reflectivity helps reduce energy that is radiated from body.Dissociation of Water: ElectrolysisThis method is currently used in industrial applications. It involves using electricity todisassociate [2]the water into hydrogen and oxygen which is then stored. This method is wellunderstood in industry and required little research. This offered the project a way forwardwithout requiring deep research into the disassociation.Water Vapor CaptureCapturing the water vapor is the crux of this project.

However, the educational value and engineeringinsight are highly important along with learning to work in a team environment with diverse teammembers outside of their areas of study. This is reflected in a survey conducted with formerstudents who are now working as engineers in various engineering fields from defense analyst todesigner and flight test engineer. Two former students are working in the UAS field, although atthe time of this writing they had not responded. These former students are either in the privatesector, government contractor, or

Theseprocedures are in effect for our 2016-2022 ABET cycle. With 1/3 of courses being reviewed each year (1/6 in fall, 1/6 in spring), the matchbetween assignments and targeted SOs are reviewed twice in the ABET accreditation cycle. Forthe Assignment Review assessment, the instructor is required to submit a copy of an assignment(+ solution) that targets each SO associated with his/her course. It is recommended that, ifpossible, one assignment be designed to target multiple student outcomes. This serves todiminish the volume of data collected

In addition, each student was recorded during his or her presentation to self-evaluate their presentation skills. Reflecting on her presentation style, the student became awareof her weaknesses in delivery and made immediate improvements in subsequent programmeetings based on the feedback from the scholarly community.Description of the technical aspects of the projectSpecimen preparationSheets of equiatomic NiTi were pre-cut and electro-discharge machined (EDM) along the rolleddirection with area remaining to allow for clamping in the EDM fixture.

analysis ofthe exam results shows that there is no significant distinction between hybrid learning andtraditional study. 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.

The light sensor to quantify what percentage of reflected light from a color of tape, table, or floor corresponds to a color; 2. The motor rotation angle turned to the distance traveled by the robot based on the chosen wheels and configuration; 3. The ultrasound sensor to measure distance to an object; 4. The sound sensor to gauge response to sounds; 5. The touch sensor to show “true” if touched vs. “false” if not.The next two weeks are spent by students programming the robot to follow a line of blue tapeusing the light sensors without straying.

Forces on a NACA 0012 and a NACA 2412 airfoil. 3. Lift and drag as a function of angle of attack for cambered and uncambered airfoils. 4. The effect of airfoil thickness. Comparison with thin-airfoil theory. 5. The Oswald efficiency factor and three-dimensional lift curve. 6. Skin friction and pressure drag as a function of angle of attack.The assignments require considerable effort in computing, reporting and reflecting on results.Several also require problem solving using thin-airfoil theory, lifting-line theory or boundary-layer results.

% is earned through the portion of daily work completed as a team andcomponents of the projects, such as weekly technical memorandums and final reports. Thetechnical memorandums are quite useful in the course as they assist in guiding the teams throughthe design process and require them to reflect quite often on their progress with the design.New ProjectFor the final five weeks of the semester, the smart materials project is introduced to the classteams in the form of a "request for proposal." In summary, design requirements are outlined andspecified for each team to design and build a supporting structure and lifting crane arm that canlift its own weight, while actuating through an angle change of at least 45o.

as well, so that the spread in the class grade distribution became quitelarge. As the above assignment started (after Drop Day, which comes past the middle of thesemester), there were many questions asked in class about the prospects for supersonic flight.One feature of the final reports is that even the students who did not pay much attention to theassignment, actually did some exploration and rationalization regarding hydrogen-fueledsupersonic airliners. The best assignments reflected superlative independent thinking andexploration, (“superlative” is not defined as “agreeing with instructor!”).

generation.NASA APPEL “Seven Axioms of Good Engineering (SAGE)” course:NASA has learned tragically from its own past that engineering accomplishments require morethan good technical skills. They require a strong dose of engineering wisdom, as well. Suchwisdom is gained by appreciating historical achievements and understanding past mistakes. Asthe Scottish author, Samuel Smiles once wrote: “We learn wisdom from failure much more thanfrom success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably hewho never made a mistake never made a discovery.”1The Seven Axioms of Good Engineering course takes a reflective look at numerous case studies,both from within NASA and the outside world, to discover where the root causes of most

sustained motivation. It is with this motivation thatstudents will be more likely to reflect on their decisions within the group and persist throughdifficulties as they arise in STEM environments. Of course, motivation is one of the centralfeatures relating to reaching learning outcomes. This study was also informed by the Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) (Lent,2005).17 SCCT’s roots can be found in Bandura’s (1986) Social Cognitive Theory.4 This theorysuggests that models are key to knowledge acquisition and subsequent behaviors of thoseobserving the model. Within this framework, SCCT argues that cognitive-person variables (self-efficacy, outcome expectations, personal goals) allow people to exercise personal agency when itcomes to

3x3-in. test section. A smaller test section (1x2 in.) allowed Mach 5 tobe attained. This facility played an important educational role for nearly 60 years, until it had tobe dismantled in 2006 for the renovation of Guggenheim Hall. The wind tunnel was also used atvarious times for research purposes, especially toward the end of its life. The size of the Department during this time can be best characterized by “slow growth”.The Department had a regular faculty of five throughout the period 1935-1945. Eastwoodstepped down as department head in 1946 and retired in 1947, and Kirsten retired in 1951 (hedied shortly thereafter, in 1952, at the age of 67). A faculty position was added during the late1940s reflecting the addition of the MAE
