The final design is judged on efficiency of the materials used, durability of thedrone, and the overall usability of the product.IMPLEMENTATION:The program was set up to be built on 3 significant pillars: educational curriculum,research and development and outreach. The program had support from severalnational laboratories including Department of Energy laboratories at Sandia and BoulderColorado. The educational curriculum used local instructors to interface with thestudents to follow nationally developed lesson plans. The plans pointed towardsproduction of parts

engineering majors. In a recent paper, we have shown that engineering and the sciencesare lagging behind most other disciplines in integrating online and distance-learning education.For example, there are comparatively few online and hybrid programs in engineering. We havefound that the main reason is that engineering and the sciences require extensive hands-on physi-cal laboratory experiments. Traditional science and engineering education are delivered onsite,where laboratories are centralized and experiments can be cost-effectively performed. Thoughseveral creative approaches to providing adequate lab experience in hybrid programs have beentried, there is, to-date, no well-developed proven method that integrates the best practices. In Fall2017, we

conceptual understanding.GeoGebra vs Traditional Tools for Phasor DiagramsEngineering higher education has seen several changes in the last decade. One such change hasbeen an increasing use of simulation environments based on but not limited to Matlab[1],LabVIEW[4], Excel macros[5], Javascript[6, 7], GeoGebra[2, 3] etc. in classrooms and laboratories toaid active-learning. Active learning has been widely associated with enhancement of studentlearning, however, in order to achieve full potential of active learning tools, it is very importantthat the tools be freely available, well-structured, and intuitive.

In labs, thestudents subsequently mount a 3D printed wind turbine blade in a wind tunnel to evaluateits aerodynamic effectiveness.Wind tunnel instrumentation and 3D printer augmented fluid dynamics instruction andlabs were examined. It was hypothesized the technology could be used to rapidlygenerate designs of energy extraction components in laboratory-based fluid dynamics andaerodynamics education. As a result, in addition to ensuring that learning was at least aseffective, the instructional process would be more efficient, than the non-augmentedinstruction.
