modernengineering practice and are best addressed in a group project. Shekar [3] suggests that in project-based learning, students are active learners and involved in hands-on activities. Professors arefacilitators who provide guidance to students and encourage students to think and work throughthe problem. This process has been shown to increase student motivation, allowing them to applythe knowledge learned in engineering classes, in an interactive environment. Students get a chanceto discuss concepts with each other and collaborate on projects working towards a common goal– this is also representative of a real-world project. Hadim et. al. [4-7] suggest that project-basedlearning facilitates the development of many of the “soft skills” demanded from

which the curriculum tends to focus on the science ofengineering much more than the application. The traditional design capstone sequences result inpaper designs, leaving students wanting more experiential learning. This experimental projectscapstone course sequence is an attempt to address that in a more engaging way for the studentsthan a traditional senior lab course series. Due to the research focus of the capstone, EML wasan obvious choice for improving the course sequence. The core concepts of the EM frameworkwere already in the courses, so it mainly required adjusting the terminology.ImplementationLike most capstones, AE 4510-11 already requires more work than the students wish. Animportant aspect of this implementation of EML was to

].” This course would be expanded to include exposure and experience with electric propulsion designs. As the course materials are already designed and implemented, the redesign would be necessary to judiciously reallocate course time to the topics. c) In AT 44502 Aircraft Electronics, this course is “A study of the computer-based electronic systems used to control both flight and engine parameters on modern aircraft. The course examines the various systems with an emphasis on how each component integrates into the electronic structure of the aircraft [14].” The course would build upon AT 11600, AT 26200, and other courses in the program to examine the use of engine control parameters and integration into

A review of the current integration of ground stations into universityactivities and curricula is presented, with an emphasis on the approaches for integration andalignment with curriculum. Learning objectives were developed by using the AccreditationBoard for Engineering and Technology’s (ABET) requirements for aerospace engineeringprograms alongside Bloom’s Taxonomy to leverage university ground stations.
