A totalof nine instructional modules, each three-and-a-half-hour long, were developed and taught byengineering faculty during the camp. Groups of students rotated through morning and afternoonsessions conducted in our engineering laboratories. They were given an introduction tofundamental engineering principles followed by hands-on experimentation in the lab. In additionto the faculty members teaching the program, a couple of undergraduate engineering studentswere present to help and mentor, which turned out to be a great learning experience for them.

A helicopter isan ideal system to exemplify the concepts taught in the course since all aspects of machinedesign are encapsulated in its design. Furthermore, a helicopter deeply pushes the limits ofsafety; the price of failure of one or more components or of the overall system is high (humanfatality). This suggests large factors of safety in the design, but there is an inherent tradeoff. Iffactors of safety are
