Instead, ifthe new subjects are not viewed by students (and faculty) as an integral part of learning tobecome an engineer, they are not likely to be taken as seriously.”17 Following a similar line ofreasoning, Downey adds: “Elective courses supporting the international education of engineersfall

TheBachelor’s degree is a three-year degree and consists of a broad education in AerospaceEngineering without any form of specialisation. Project education is an important tool in thisphase. The Master’s degree is a specialisation within the available research fields of AerospaceEngineering within our faculty.

The project tasked students with mathematically modeling a practical mechanicalsystem and determining system parameters' values using experimental data. Subsequently, theyvalidated these parameters by comparing numerical and experimental responses, fostering apractical application of theoretical concepts throughout the learning process. Initiated in the fall2023 semester, the project was accompanied by an anonymous survey at its conclusion to gaugeits impact on
