Several modules with different topics such as similar triangles,potential and kinetic energy, circumference of a circle, have been developed with theincorporation of flight simulation scenarios. Each module consists of a sample lesson with basicconcepts on the covered topic, paper-pencil activities and a flight simulator-based activity.Details of the modules are included in the project website

degreeprograms seek to develop. Much of our conversation in engineering education is about how toget our students to develop the expertise to manage works in this domain through projects,design, etc. These types of problems are increasingly amenable to AI solutions.Working in the complex domain relies on different mental rules than the simple and complexdomains. The reason for this is that problems or systems which can be characterized as complexexhibit behaviors not shared by simple and complicated system. While not an exhaustive list,complex systems exhibit the following characteristics:• Emergence: Out of the interactions between the individual elements in the systems behavior emerges at the level of the system as a whole.

The fourth area is to applylearning in personal and group practices with an iterative cycle of quality improvement [4]. Inthis cycle, individuals identify their plan for accomplishing a project related to the learning ordevelop habitual practices to support their learning. After engaging with the project or practices,the individuals check or evaluate their effectiveness and determine appropriate actions toimprove or maintain their current effectiveness.Learners reflect on and become aware of what they are learning through periods ofcontemplation and

However, very few chemical engineeringgraduates work for design and construction companies and those employed in the processindustry will more likely work in an operating facility. The senior capstone design projectprovides students an opportunity to bring different concepts taught throughout the curriculuminto the design of a chemical process. The question is: how well does a rigorous chemicalengineering undergraduate curriculum and the associated capstone design

In order to know whether or not innovation-based courses, projects, programs, orinitiatives have a positive effect – or, even any effect – it is necessary to create a baseline, followthe participants through their courses and through their academic studies.Creating a methodology, assessment protocol, and assessment process and
