Tangible Aircraft DesignAbstract Implementation of an undergraduate aircraft design curriculum in a short aeronauticalengineering course sequence can be challenging. Ideally, students need to be taught fundamentalaircraft design material in a way that can easily be transitioned to a hands-on design project. Theproject should be both interesting and fun but also try to cover the entire design process from aconceptual standpoint to the preliminary design phase and finally expose them to the detailedmanufacturing of a prototype for testing. As is often the case, time and resources are limited andmuch of the hands-on engineering education experience so valuable to a student is hard toachieve. While many

Only 30 students are admitted each year to the MEPP program. Togain admission, students must have earned at least a B.S. in engineering, and must have at leastfour years of applied engineering experience.The MEPP program is cohort-based; the 30 students admitted each year progress through thefixed curriculum as a stable group. This cohort-based design facilitates close relationshipsamong students [2,3

Research shows that Civil Engineering students often lack sufficienttraining in climate science. To be successful, graduates need training in evaluating hazards fromextreme winds, waves, and rain, and understanding climate change risks. At The Citadel, climatechange impacts are integrated into several lessons in an introductory Geotechnical Engineeringcourse. This paper demonstrates how climate change education can be integrated across thecurriculum by redesigning lessons using backward design and implementing active pedagogies,including pre-lesson, in-class, and post-lesson activities.

The engineeringprograms at Wentworth Institute of Technology strongly focus on project-based learning.Devices and prototyping are therefore an integral part of many of the courses for which physicsis a prerequisite. Hence, it is essential that students leave with a working knowledge of basiccircuit concepts as well as an appreciation for the complexity that can arise in circuit analysis.Given this population, the main learning outcomes of the new game-based exercise were forstudents to: 1. Demonstrate the ability to add resistors in series. 2. Demonstrate an ability to add resistors in parallel. 3. Decompose a complex circuit into its basic elements. 4

Engineering schools could more vigorously exploit the flexibility inherent in the outcomes-based accreditation approach to experiment with novel models for baccalaureate education. ABET should ensure that evaluators look for innovation and experimentation in the curriculum and not just hold institutions to a strict interpretation of the guidelines as they see them.4. Whatever other creative approaches are taken in the four-year engineering curriculum, the essence of engineering-the iterative process of designing, predicting performance, building, and testing-should be taught from the earliest stages of the curriculum, including
