engineering educatorsmay consider for their courses.Details of ImplementationThree separate instructors have modified this approach to fit their courses, their intendedoutcomes, and their teaching philosophies. In this section we will present a concise overview ofeach implementation, with details provided in attached appendices.Strength of Materials (Spring 2018)The first implementation was in a Strength of Materials course after the instructor looked for anopportunity to implement an ‘epic finale’ inspired by reading the article in the Chronicle ofHigher Education years earlier. On the final exam day, she rode a bicycle into the final exam andasked the students to tell her the three locations most likely to fail during a specific use-case, andthe
project. This CubeSat project is being performed in partnership with the JetPropulsion Laboratory (JPL), a local employer of CSUN graduates.Section II of this paper describes the CubeSat project. Section III describes the project team andthe challenges in running a large multidisciplinary project. Section IV describes the projectmanagement approach of the software team and the relationship between the project and thecomputer science curriculum. Section V includes some assessment of this approach. Section VIpresents the conclusions.II. Description of the CubeSat ProjectA CubeSat is a miniature satellite (20 x 10 x 10 cm) capable of carrying an onboard experimentinto space. CubeSats are launched free of charge as part of government and commercial
