participation resulted in a maturingof the course and expectations which has continued into the present. The overall effect of theprogram on design at UT Austin is detailed in a paper by Fowler, et.al. [2].During the early 1990’s the author also offered a graduate level spacecraft – mission designcourse. The graduate students produced a document that characterized spacecraft subsystems foruse by the undergraduate design students. This document was used by regularly undergraduateteams until internet access became common, and the information was readily available on theweb.

The course is three credit hours.There has been concern voiced regarding large lectures with respect to attendance rates,effectiveness of large lecture instruction, and connectivity between the instructor and students.To provide a more flexible learning environment and improve student learning outcome [2, 3, 6],starting in the fall of 2010 under the assistance of Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence(CTLE) at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University a hybrid version of the course wasimplemented. The hybrid sections are delivered on the regular basis each semester after oursuccessful initiation. The general format of the hybrid and traditional remains the same: 2 hoursof lectures per week and 2 hours of lab
