the paucity of computing resources in the undergraduatecurriculum, we emphasized derivation of simplified analytical solutions, and extensive problem-solving using paper and pencil to assimilate analysis methods. Space studies were spread acrossdepartments of engineering science, mechanics, thermal sciences and physics. This fit well withthe demands of graduate curricula and research programs.Table 1 shows the compression in the fluid dynamics/ aerodynamics portion of the curriculumsince the mid 1980s. The second column indicates the number of hours allotted to this subjectarea, with Q denoting Quarter and S Semester. Column 3 compares the number of equivalentsemester hours.

and preparation for this skillis adequate. Again, the data suggests areas already known in the academic literature. The areasof largest deviation below the zero-line show that mathematics (Q 2), written communication (Q12) and a willingness and awareness to engage in life-long learning (Q 17) are areas needingmore emphasis in engineering programs. This again reflects what is being highlighted in ABEToutcomes. Table 1 summarizes the main conclusions from the study. If “X (Slight)” appears ina column, this indicates the results for both New Engineers (NE) and Supervisors (S) areapproaching agreement and, thus, would be close to appearing in the “Adequate” or centercolumn.What next?Based on this study and after examining other studies in the

In flight the pilot reclines backwards, a comfortable position for pedaling that allows shifting of the center of gravity during flight, see Figure 8. An ideal design goal would be to attain a takeoffspeed V=15 [km/hr] which pre-establishes adynamic pressure q= 1.084 [kg/m2]. Forexample, a glider with wing surface area S=20[m2] will require a CL=2.95 to lift an 80 [kg]load. Such a relatively high CL level isimpossible to achieve

workshop.- Student topics. This activity was rated as highly rewarding by students. Most of the students (undergraduate and many graduate) had not yet had an opportunity in their academic career to organize and lead a classroom discussion. Feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive. Students appreciated the opportunity to work through the process of organizing and leading a facilitated discussion and noted the boost in confidence this activity provided them for general public speaking skills. Students also noted value in the expectation that they were to provide questions of other student presentations. Students liked having the limits of a 30- minute period for the presentation and Q&A with a buffer for the instructor to fill

students to thinkabout the big picture is crucial to their understanding of the subject.Application of Concepts in AEE 553 Compressible Flow Aerodynamics: By approaching each equation in the graduate compressible flow class from an applicationstandpoint, it made students appreciate the significance of what it is that they are learning and why.Homework problems were also designed in order for the students to apply the concepts theylearned in class to real-world applications. The homework assignments given to the students areattached in the Appendix of the paper. From an application standpoint, students solved homeworkassignments on:  F-35 lifting fan (Calculating thrust and lift using conservation of momentum) (HW 1 Q.4)  F-16
