for use of the Rapid Prototyping Lab by students to allow fair andequitable access to the printers. The build times for parts can be rather lengthy, especially forthose for which aerodynamic shaping is critical. Therefore, all parts to be fabricated must beapproved by a faculty member who is placed in charge of the lab and who ensures that the partshave some stated academic purpose. The CAD files are then brought to one of two labtechnicians, who evaluate the parts in terms of fidelity, projected build time, and cost. Build jobs(which typically consist of several parts which make up an assembly) are limited to a 48 hourbuild time and $500 cost. The senior capstone design courses are given priority, with all othercourses queued on a first come

Equipped with reaction wheels similar to what could be foundon a SmallSat class spacecraft, a MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) inertialmeasurement unit, and simulated attitude sensors, the attitude test-bed allows for realistic attitudecontrol in the presence of noise. The system is integrated with MATLAB to make controlling it assimple as possible for students without extensive hardware programming experience. This systemhas been used to implement attitude estimation algorithms as part of a independent study andattitude control as part of a hands-on project to augment a graduate-level spacecraft control classthat has relied solely on lecture and simulated work in the past. This paper details the design andconstruction of the attitude test

Therefore, in Fall 2019, we initiated the SoTLresearch project on the implementation of the AAE 20401 VLs. Since we wanted to pursue theexcellence in VLs by creating the innovative virtualized lab of the existing hands-on labs, weused the Backward Course Design Model to analyze and characterize the course context, content,assessment, and pedagogy of the course so that we can integrate VLs into the existing labcoursework smoothly.

It was anticipated that student learning andcomputer stability would decline under these conditions. It was also determined that there wasnot enough electrical capacity for the required computers and air conditioning. It was becomingclear that in order for the project to move forward, approval would be needed for significantroom modifications and electrical upgrades would have to be performed. The upgrades wouldrequire more departments to be involved, and the costs in addition to the actual simulator bidwould also need to be considered and approved

These capabilities enabledproject-oriented courses where students learned theory and applied it immediately to projects.We discovered that students could handle courses where several topics were learned in parallel,and where they created the “manuals” for their experiments. Project teams could interact throughthe computer.
