flying and laboratory events. Ideally practical events such as flying or laboratories occurclose to when an academic topic is introduced. Aircraft availability can often drive schedules tocompress or expand, causing a less than ideal connection between teaching in the classroom andin flight. Usually students are flying an event that they learned in the classroom a few weeks prior.This means that students are learning new material in the classroom while trying to focus on anupcoming flight that covers material from two weeks ago.While care is taken to keep practical and academic events linked as closely as possible, delays arecommon. Some of this delay is due to aircraft maintenance issues, or instructor availability. Forexample, each student

, please see the subsequent section.Course ContextAAE 20401, Aeromechanics II Laboratory, is a one-credit laboratory (lab) course in aerospacestructural mechanics at Purdue University. The lab course offers six lab preparatory lectures andsix physical (hands-on) labs. The durations of the lectures and labs are 50 minutes and 110minutes, respectively. During the lab preparatory lecture session, a faculty member delivers alecture. Then, at the beginning of the physical lab sessions, graduate teaching assistants (TAs)leads the guided physical lab sessions. All individuals in the teaching team are Purdue AAEmembers.

In some cases, these are included in coursework in ways where there may not be anatural fit in a typical lecture or lecture/laboratory course, or that appear to be contrived.Teamwork may consist of students put into groups based on proximity, with minimal instructionin how to effectively operate as a team; while this is indeed working within a group, it isarguably not effective teamwork [7]-[9].
