This paper is focused on theCubeSat Mini Project and the results.III. Mini project overviewThe mini project was designed with the goal of allowing students to learn about CubeSats andsatellite technology and understanding the role of radio and telemetry in satellite operation. Thestudents also gain experience working in small teams on different aspects of the project,incorporating their part into the whole, giving a presentation, writing a short report, and sharinginformation using a Wiki.The project was structured as the last six weeks of the semester, after the

consistently self-reporting weaker scores on both subscales of“independence of learning” and “study habits”. Finally, male students held a higher self-belief inindependence of learning compared with female students.IntroductionIt is widely accepted that one goal of higher education is to instill in students the need for and thepractice of lifelong learning. All major stakeholders of higher education – graduates, employers,faculty and accrediting agencies – agree that this outcome is critically important given the rapidpace of change of society, especially in engineering and technology. Our graduates must adaptto this change to remain productive contributors. Indeed, it can be argued that much – or evenmost – of what an engineering graduate needs to

The teaching style that is infused with lessons drawn from experience inengineering practice is called experience-based instruction (EBI).All engineering instruction is to some degree experience-based. Experienced engineers know theskills needed by entry-level engineers. The engineering community influences the content ofengineering curricula to ensure that necessary topics are addressed.

The technological innovation of the US is quickly eroding unless current trends arereversed9. The percentage of American students pursuing Ph.D.s in engineering has declinedfrom 70% in 1985 to 55% in 200510 . Yet, only 64% of students who begin engineering doctoralprograms complete their degrees within a ten year period according to the Council of GraduateSchools11.
