Severalincidents illustrate the immediate need for a different approach to safety such as the death of alab assistant at UCLA in 2008 (Kemsley 2009), a severe student injury at Texas Tech in 2010(Kemsley 2010), and a lab explosion resulting in the loss of an arm at the

. One result of sucha pedagogical approach often leads to an attitude that the course is nothing more than frustratingexercises in formula manipulation and that much of the material studied is marginally useful atbest. This paper offers an alternative to this classic approach by describing an outline for setting-up a computer laboratory component within a typical introductory dynamics course in theMechanical Engineering Technology curriculum. Sample assignments, as well as examples oftutorials handed to the students, will also be presented.IntroductionCourses in Mechanics consist of Statics, Particle Kinematics and Kinetics of Particles and RigidBodies.

Both research and design components were included in the researchprojects, and the latter component was required by the senior design course.1. Introduction College of Engineering and Technology (CET) of Virginia State University requires seniorstudents to take senior design courses as part of the graduation requirements. Almost all of thesenior students work on industry-related design projects for the senior design projects becausethe design process should be included as a requirement of senior design course1. Further, thesenior design project coordinator and the project advisors examine whether the project meets thedesign requirements as well as ABET's
a variety of technologies and subsystems. Opportunities to understand the iterative aspects of spacecraft design are limited. Methods todevelop students’ awareness of iteration beyond introducing iteration in different design modelsare lacking in engineering education in general, and in aerospace engineering education inparticular. One of the challenges being faced by faculty in the field of aeronautics andastronautics is teaching space systems design and engineering in an effective way. Unliketraditional engineering fields, including the closely related field of aeronautics, teaching spacesystems design and engineering is difficult because of the lack of opportunities to go through anentire cycle from system conception to system
