for actuallyimplementing “kit” aircraft into existing aerospace engineering curricula. In a humble spirit,the purpose of this document is to provide a few of these guideposts.Course ObjectivesIt has been important from the outset that a laboratory course involving aircraft constructionbe more than one that merely turning students into “kit builders,” though that may certainly beone of the outcomes. The official course objectives of Aero 572, “Aircraft Manufacturingand Fabrication,” were specifically developed with this in mind. The course is offered twoquarters of every academic year, and the specific objectives as taken from the study guide arelisted and discussed below.13 The course objectives are to provide a hands-on demonstration and

, there are too many so called professionals, who rely blindlyon test data with no or very little understanding of basic principals of engineering. Figure 3: “Dog bone” sample in the tester. Page 12.1166.6Theoretical calculations will sink deeper into the minds when people see the end result. AT308,Inc. delivers exactly what is needed: learning by validation of the theoretical side of the course.There is another way to learn. The Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering in Needham,Massachusetts offers a different approach to engineering education. Guizzo reverses the “theoryfirst, practice later” model and gets students
