meaningful to communicative, i.e., independent comprehension. With respect to writing, current pedagogical trends take the emphasis off the final product, seen only by the instructor (a dependency), and places it on the student and their peers (independence). The emphasis in writing is on the process or development of the piece, whereby the student controls the various versions, not the instructor. Page 25.139.8 4. Use the tools – In languages the best way to learn is to continue to use it. Several tools are taught in aerospace engineering classes. The best way to learn and retain them is to use them. Again

Participation (LSAMP) program is designedfor underrepresented minority students. It is a collaborative effort sustained by five highereducation institutions in the state of Georgia6. These include: • Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) • Fort Valley State University • Georgia Perimeter College • Savannah State University • University of Georgia Page 25.653.3At SPSU, it provides scholars supplemental instruction and an opportunity for academicenrichment. It promotes learning communities amongst fresh engineering students. It alsoprovides opportunities for tutoring, financial support, peer and faculty mentoring

assistant, usually a graduate student,and a peer teacher, usually an undergraduate student who recently completed the freshman-engineering sequence. The graphics portion of the class has the students use a commercialgraphics package that can be used to draw parts selected from outside of class or parts of theirrobot by the end of the semester. At the beginning of the semester, basic project planning iscovered as well as an introduction of flowcharting and some basics of the visual programmingenvironment, in this case LabView. The most important aspect of the programming portion isactually what the program is being asked to do and how it completes the task. Since LabView ismany times not the programming language of choice in the student’s follow-on

enough toprepare the students for the work environment. Toward that end, the first semester typicallyprovides the foundational principles the student teams will use to produce their design at thecompletion of the second semester.Initially, the first semester is relatively heavy in terms of lectures, discussions, anddevelopmental assignments designed to provide the students with the fundamental principles ofSystem Engineering, Project Management, the Project Life Cycle, and the tools of ProjectDesign including such topics as requirements definition, concept of operations, workbreakdown structure, schedule management, and configuration management. Coveringrequirements definition alone (as well as how to write a good requirement) could consume
