Classroom activities rangefrom simple and quick team-building exercises (e.g., building towers or bridges from notecardsor newsprint, etc.) that provide a low-stakes window into engineering principles and informalopportunities for students to interact all the way to more formal laboratory exercises withassigned teams and peer evaluations. The course culminates in a final open-ended team designproject to investigate the iterative nature of engineering design through a solar heating challengein which students present the struggles they faced and their resulting solutions orally. Together,these assignments and activities aim to enhance the skillsets highlighted by Landis and Peuker asimportant for students’ ultimate success as engineers.CHE 150 has

This approach is expected to motivate students to continue researchingin the related areas even after the semester ends. With the tests such as quiz, optional labs andevaluations (such as SPTE and ABET evaluations), students’ feedback are collected forassessment of the proposed approach. Based on the laboratory observations, the proposedapproach helps students involve more with the course materials and improve their academicperformance and helps in understanding the needs and standards of the industry.

TAs fulfill the role ofsecondary instructor, supporting a course via laboratories, recitations, grading, and otherteaching activities. Whether faculty or TA, primary or secondary, instructors employ a range ofinstructional approaches to engage student learning and interact with students to develop rapport,answer questions, and further scaffold instruction. Although there remains some confusion inthe literature regarding terms, faculty support generally refers to teaching technique (bothteacher-centered and student-centered) while faculty interactions refer to more informalexchanges with students which include both curriculum and course-based interactions as well asconversations about career and other intellectual matters.

However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel. As such, we present a path of feasibility for an undergraduate electric propulsion projectbuilding a small, low-power HET, both as a novel vehicle for engaging with introductory physicsconcepts and as a case study of an advanced self-directed project at the undergraduate level.In this
