the rocket and so must handle highlyenergetic materials safely. Therefore, the propulsion team has two main advisors: a safety advisor whosupervises all activities undertaken with energetic materials and a technical advisor who is highlyknowledgeable about propulsion. These two advisors permit the team to access on-campus laboratories thatspecialize in manufacturing energetic materials. Access to those laboratories allows the team to safely mixand cast the solid rocket propellant articles necessary to construct a rocket motor. Once the propulsion teamis ready to test a new motor, the two advisors oversee design reviews and closely monitor the physicalhardware to ensure that student risk is minimized during testing.2.2 Past, Current, and

However, it became apparent, that students misinterpreted the freedom skippingtoo many lectures. In addition, the instructors observed that it was difficult for students to stay ontop of the material if it is not somehow enforced.The quizzes were offered along with homework assignments, laboratory assignments

Regarding the measurement of a rigid body’s mass moment of inertia, various techniques havebeen used for decades, going back to at least the 1950s, such as by Ellett [14] and others [15] –[17]. In all of the cases presented, they use either torsion springs (much like wires as the aspectratio is quite high) or strings/cables, such as that presented below, but with a slightly differentconfiguration.

The COVID-19 pandemic pushed educators to conduct emergency remote teaching, withhands-on laboratory and skills-based workshops disrupted. The inability among educators toshift to online learning and create meaningful learning in their courses, along with the lack ofavailable remote or online laboratories and simulated technology-based skills training, exposedthe stark gap between engineering education requirements in the 21st century and what HEIscurrently have.

The use of commercial software also allowed different loading conditions to be set in their models, especially for the wind loading combinations. During the first three phases, students were taken step by step by their professors and instructors into the different topics of a structural analysis, as this was their first course on hyperstatic structures. During this stage, students were given some problems oriented or related to the problems they would solve during the solution of the challenge, as a way of training. In phase 4, as indicated in Fig

Weconducted interviews with academics to understand why they decided to engage with theresearch projects. Our results suggest that the most important thing was to develop student-teacher engagement, which had an implication later on in their classrooms.
