approach, called the content-centered or the list of topics approach, theinstructor consults one or more textbooks and makes a list of important topics to be covered duringthe semester. Subsequently the time to be allotted to each topic and the number and types of testsare decided. This approach is simple for the instructor. However, it does not address the big pictureof how the course contents fit into the program students are enrolled in, and what students shouldlearn so they are better prepared for the following courses and career paths. Being mindful of thisbig picture is very important for an instructor in an undergraduate aerospace engineering program.Therefore, for the flight dynamics class the author used the second approach, called the
