Not only the teachers at schoolbut the first teachers a child has in their life - parents. He stated that “Children are usually nottaught to think critically by their parents, by their kindergarten teacher, by any teachers. Mostlikely, the majority of their teachers are not critical thinkers.” After several decades, we still face the same issue in our classrooms - how to teach ourstudents to be critical thinkers. This study focuses on reinforcing critical thinking skills usinghand-written homework assignments. Design/Method Engineering physics courses

Learning towork as a part of a larger team in a long term project such as this is invaluable for an engineer’scareer as projects and designs in industry and laboratories are often multiple year collaborationsthat a single semester long class cannot adequately replicate.Aerospace Opportunities in Small Schools (Senior Author Perspective)Small universities and colleges are often limited in their ability to offer meaningful opportunitiesin systems engineering or multidisciplinary
