As a final integrative experience, teams of students quantitatively evaluated spacetravel proposals and presented their results to the rest of the class. The students enjoyed the class andcame out of it with a much more sophisticated understanding of space flight and of engineering ingeneral. Reservations and difficulties include: finding qualified lecturers for the diverse set of topics;integrating their presentations into a coherent whole; and a lingering question how well such a coursewould work with a less gifted set of students.IntroductionThe purpose of this paper is to convey and reflect on the author’s experience

In total, the camp hosted 17 students in 2023 and11 students in 2024, reflecting a range of genders, backgrounds and skill levels.The camp spanned two weeks, with daily two-hour sessions conducted entirely online. Eachsession was designed to be highly interactive, incorporating live instruction, hands-on codingexercises, “concept surveys” (quizzes), collaborative learning opportunities, and "papercraft"activities.

The primary limitation lies in the differing number ofcredit hours between the two courses. This is reflected in students in the CCEE course havingmore accurate calculations when analyzing their data collected in the lab, and having moreprofessional presentation slides. However, these results show that even a 1-credit class allows fornuanced design work from first-year engineers. The sample size for this study is also relativelysmall, limiting universalizing due to small-scale statistics.AcknowledgmentsThis material is
