Page 24.663.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2014 Helicopters as a Theme in a Machine Design CourseAbstract The idea proposed here is to study helicopters and their components throughout a machinedesign course as a theme to teach students about different mechanical elements. 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

there was a problem in appropriate technical style forengineering reports. Students were not challenged to prepare formal laboratory reportsnor formal engineering design reports. Perhaps the most apparent weakness of studentsafter finishing the sequence was the lack of ability to construct simple computerprograms. The software package Matlab was introduced yet it seemed to distract studentsfrom learning the fundamental skills required to program.Many substantive changes were been put in place for the first effort at revision. The oldstructure had been abandoned and in its place was a fully integrated program. Theincoming freshman class of approximately 200 was divided into five separate sections of40 students each.

The learning tools expose students to what goes on under thehood of a computer, and, in conjunction with a physical laboratory project, give them asense of working on a real workplace assignment. The Fundamental Computer is similarto the “File Clerk” explanation in Richard Feynman’s Lectures on Computation.

The analysis covers course offerings from the Fall 1994 semester through the Spring2001 semester and includes a population of over 5,700 students. This paper also analyzesvariances in the performance among distance learning students. For some instructors, the studentcourse passing rates were consistently higher than for the others. That, coupled with better scoreson student evaluations, allowed us to emphasize the impact of teaching style and teachingmethodologies on the course outcomes for the distance learning students.1

These recent trends have been positive changes for en-gineering and technology students and engineering education. Students often find design classesto be interesting and challenging, and apply themselves more in these classes than they do in tra-ditional engineering science lecture courses. In addition, design classes have provided many en-gineering educators opportunities to build closer ties with industry and to bring more real-worldproblems and examples into the classroom. Moreover, while design classes can be very laborintensive, they are also fun to teach.3,4This paper discusses an approach
