Bloom and his colleagues.2,6,8 Literature in the 1970s and 1980s focusedmore on pedagogy than on outputs, but a renewed focus on the outputs of education in the 1990sdrove a new wave of literature based on learning outcomes and objectives.In contrast to the methodology used in the widely-cited successor to Bloom’s original taxonomy,this project focuses on learning outcomes rather than on learning objectives.1 Whileacknowledging the complexity of the debate,9,10,11 we agree with the assertion in Harden 2002that learning outcomes and learning objectives are distinct from each

The radio-controlled airplanes, however, are often only available tostudents through clubs or student competitions. This paper will describe an active learning class,the Flight Vehicle Design and Fabrication Class (known by students as the Sailplane Class), inwhich student hands-on learning includes flying radio-controlled airplanes. BackgroundThe Sailplane Class has been at Penn State University since the early 1990’s and was originallysponsored with funding from the National Science Foundation through the Engineering Coalitionof Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership (ESCEL

Use airport gate or other commonsense constraints, or again benchmarking, to fix span, hence find aspect ratio.• For a selected cruise altitude and speed, find the lift and induced drag coefficients.• Guess a value for low speed zero-lift drag coefficient. Hence find total cruise drag, and speed for minimum drag. Find cruise L/D.• Starting with a thumb-rule (typically, that installed sea level static thrust is 30% of TOW, and that the plane must take off with 1 engine out), select a suitable engine and number of engines.• For the selected engine, find thrust-specific fuel consumption from published data, and estimate thrust at

This corresponds to a numberdensity of 1.8 × 1022 m−3 . This was on a similar order of magnitude to electron densitiesdescribed in Goebel. 5The ionization rate could be determined only through empirical tables. We found one such tablepublished by Chung et al. 8 The closest temperature tabulated was 32 eV, with a correspondingionization rate of 3.112 × 10−14 m3 s−1 .With these values in place, the mean free path came out to λ = 630 nm.

where stiffness is most evident. Since the blades spin during normaloperation, they must be designed to minimize axial deflection due to the tension created by thecentrifugal loading and to minimize bending under their own weight due to static loading. Ahelicopter blade can be modeled as a fixed-free cantilever beam. Students can solve for thedeflection of the blade under tensile loading and distributed loading, as shown in Figure 5. Acase-study of the Sikorsky S-76 blade tip failure is also introduced. Students then discuss whatthey have learned about stiffness and deflection as it relates to design of components and how theS-76 design could be modified to minimize the risk of failure.3.
