And PBL pedagogical techniques as “students” in the workshop  Experience examples of entrepreneurial mindset course integration  Analyze unfamiliar situations and open-ended problems using various methods to define the “true” problem statements  Interact as part of an interdisciplinary team with members from multiple institutions and backgroundsThe workshop was made up of 23 faculty representing different engineering disciplines from 11different universities. While the author has over 28 years of experience in ABET accreditedengineering programs, there were many new pedagogical techniques that the workshopparticipants experienced in individual and group activities over the three

whose students took these international assessments. Nationally, this achievementgap is mirrored in the lower performance of African-Americans and Hispanics students incomparison to White students as seen in both the PISA Report2 and national assessments3. Thereare several reasons cited in literature4-6 for this achievement gap. Some of these reasons are socio-economic status, strength of curriculum and disparity between school districts. In addition to thesestructural challenges, student engagement and motivation play an important role in learning. Thepedagogical approach in the classroom has a strong impact on students’ engagement with thelearning materials. Students’ cognitive engagement with the learning materials increases if theyrecognize

and experiential learning experiences. Integration of thesetechnologies added an additional dimension to the value of scientific inquiry and shows how toapply scientific knowledge, procedures and mathematics to solve real problems and improve theworld we live in. The curriculum supports the Next Generation Science Standards and containeda strong emphasis on math and science literacy for 21st century learners. Students participating inthe outreach program completed a total of thirty-six (36) to forty (40) hours of hands-onexperience.Hands-on learning was provided through the AEL, a state-of-the-art laboratory that featurescollaborative learning environment and equipped with hardware and software to supportcurriculum enhancement activities.

curriculum. However, in FlightDynamics and Control I and II courses, there are typically no hands-on laboratory or co-curricular elements that demonstrate engineering and scientific principles/theories using real-world problems [1-2]. Such conventional curricula norms in Flight Dynamics and Control I andII courses are challenged in this work.KU student evaluations from 2005-2010 consistently point to the lack of real-world experiencesin many fundamental engineering disciplines. Many laboratory and design experimentsunfortunately take place within the confines of closed space, using pre-defined inputs andoutputs, and a monotonous approach to the completion of an experiment. The majority of classprojects are limited to theories and mathematical

, and even a flying saucer as well as an unmanned reusable launch vehicle. Since founding Maine Aerospace Con- sulting in 2003, Dr. Rubenstein has worked on GN&C of a small autonomous helicopter, optimization of missile loiter patterns, Kalman estimators for parachute deployment and to integrate eLORAN range with GPS measurements. Currently, Dr. Rubenstein is designing sensor fusion algorithms for a medical devices application to support surgical VR training, and is also working on GN&C for an autonomous vehicle capable of personnel and cargo transfers to low-Earth orbit. In 2009, Dr. Rubenstein became Adjunct/Research Faculty of Aerospace Engineering within the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the
