Inthe past 2 decades, the information technology (IT) industry has had a paradigm changing impacton the engineering careers in India. Although, the engineering education system in India hasaccommodated an unprecedented diversity in its disciplines, the careers sought by graduateshave largely revolved around IT [8]. In an effort to find a high paying job, budding engineershave failed to seek fulfilling careers, enrich their livelihoods and contribute towards the nation.For the last three summers (2015, 2016, 2017), the author has been visiting academic institutionsacross India to conduct courses, workshops, and

The National Research Council research found that“engineering students will better grasp the relationship between the laws of physics and theconstruction of effective supports for a bridge if they see some examples of well-designedbridges, accompanied by explanations for the choices of the critical design features” [11].Reference [8] shows that the “single most desirable attribute in new recruits” is the ability ofstudents to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world problems.This philosophy was the motivation to restructure and improve undergraduate education in theFlight Dynamics and Control I and II classes. Unmanned aerial systems (UASs) and autonomousrobots are emerging technologies of the 21st Century. When

extensive engineeringanalysis that enhances engineering education both for those developing the simulator and forthose who will use it in design. First, the geometry of the simulator will be mathematicallyanalyzed and defined by the students, which will enable optimal geometries to be solved for tomaximize certain ranges of motion. Then, the dynamics of the system will be simulated usingMATLAB's Simulink technology to confirm the simulator's theoretical dynamic performance,verify the ranges of motion from the students' mathematical analysis, and provide the necessaryspecifications for the motors. Furthermore, structural analysis with SolidWorks will be used tocalculate the factor of safety of the system, which will help properly size the rotary

in engineering courses is not new. 2D drivingsimulators are commonly utilized in vehicle dynamics courses for motion simulation. Likewise,flight simulators are favorably used in most aerodynamics courses. Advances in technology haveempowered pilot test program producers to create effective and real-time simulation based FlightTraining Devices (FTDs) [6]. Flight simulators draw attention as a training resource in aerospaceengineering curriculum. Several studies have been conducted on finding the most effective way ofexploiting flight simulators in courses. Meta-analysis was investigated to find effectivenesscharacteristics of flight simulators [7]. Huet et al. studied the performance of feedback in a fixed-base flight simulator [8,9]. In a
