The disconnection of lecture style teaching from studentlearning can become a national issue if the trend continues. The college level physics courses inmechanics and electromagnetism in our community college usually have more than 90%engineering and technology students. One effective solution in the teaching of Gen-Z studentswould be the availability of hands-on project

Likewise,flight simulators are favorably used in most aerodynamics courses. Advances in technology haveempowered pilot test program producers to create effective and real-time simulation based FlightTraining Devices (FTDs) [6]. Flight simulators draw attention as a training resource in aerospaceengineering curriculum. Several studies have been conducted on finding the most effective way ofexploiting flight simulators in courses.
