However, an important element to consider is that the active-learningstrategy must support cognitive engagement to foster deeper learning. Authentic learningenvironments have been shown to particularly effective for cognitive engagement of learners. Thetwo important attributes of an authentic learning environment are real world relevance andcompeting solutions to the problems being solved4. More recently, the

There is only one world, but it is a world we experience, a world in which we live, a world that is ours’. The seminal research that developed phenomenography as a research methodology, forexample, investigated students’ understanding of velocity in a physics class[9]. Velocity was theconcept or “the thing”, but the researchers were actually interested in how students understoodvelocity, which is “the thing as it appeared”. It was the students’ understanding that was thephenomenon of research interest. In aerospace engineering, Subject Matter Experts are important assets to projects, andSMEs have deep

It does take some undertaking and a little time. It may takeseveral iterations to formulate a set of performance criteria for each outcome, but the energiesspent will be well worth it as everyone will have a clear definition of the outcomes. It is helpfulto have a smaller group develop the performance criteria and then obtain feedback from

Mid-March 2020, however, COVID-19 forced AE 30 to moveto an online modality. A synchronous online class format was adopted for AE 30 for theremainder of the Spring 2020 semester. In the online class format, students joined a synchronousclass meeting for lecture and another one for lab through the videoconferencing software Zoom.Office hours also became an online Zoom meeting. Instead of walking around lab to answerquestions, the instructor and the few students that attended lab would talk through questions as agroup via Zoom.

More specifically, in our research, a problem was discussed bythe TA using a document camera and projector. Since no small group activities were involved,the TA-led supervised session was not a cooperative learning session.As the TA led the session by showing the key concepts needed to solve the problems, the TAcontinually asked questions on the important ideas

Students often audiorecord these lectures for repeated playback outside of class, but the associated derivations anddiagrams cannot easily be captured unless taken cell phone video during lecture. This solution isnot ideal since picture quality of written or projected imagery can be insufficient, and manyprofessors do not wish to be videotaped during a lecture. This situation has led students toformally request high quality videos (technical content and production values) which can berepeatedly viewed outside of lecture as needed to assist with mastering the material.The objective of the work described in this paper is to

These principleswere then applied to a preliminary satellite design project. New assessment methods using on-line quizzes measured student learning for every lesson.

their aircraft designs.ii. Hands-on experience: Fabrication and flight test evaluation of the UAS design was perhaps the most valuable lesson that the student team gained; at this scale, few finished products turn out in line with designs and projections. The team encountered this apparent discrepancy at various stages following the initial design, including component weight during fabrication, as well as the final weight of the finished aircraft, which was about 30% more than the design specification, affecting its dynamic performance. Lesson Learned: Analysis of aircraft designs need to account for potential variations in parameters during the fabrication/repair process to still be able to satisfy design and performance
