Flight tests were performed and the errors identified and corrected.The results of the flying quadcopter drone designed, built, and tested are presented anddiscussed.IntroductionThis paper is one of the outcomes of the Mercer Summer Engineering Experience (MeSEE2015), an Academic Training program, in which multidisciplinary student teams were trained inengineering labs and then worked on hand

The production facility is selectedbased on their need, ability to work with the students, and their willingness to participate. Theplant tour gives the students the ability to see first-hand, why and how lean manufacturing isused, if at all, and the benefits derived from it. They are given the opportunity to ask questionsthat may not have been fully explored during class. The students are required to develop theVSM for the process selected by the company.

In the student-centered environment, learning is often facilitated throughactive learning. The faculty member should actively involve the student in the learning process(besides the functions conducted under a teacher-centered approach). The active learning occurswhen the students do more than listening during class. It is accomplished through challenging thestudents to ask and answer questions, engaging students in small-group discussions, andincorporating problem solving and projects into the course 6.Several universities have started building a student-centered

The goal of the first roundof interviews was to get the “lay of the land” in terms of: • What is a typical project like? • What types of projects come up most frequently? • What is your role? • What are some of the constraints that you typically face? • What tools or resources do you use to solve problems?One observation from the first round of interviews was that system integration engineersgenerally work in teams
