This team-teaching model can readily continue even after the pandemic is over.Throughout the course, the instructors met weekly or biweekly to share observations of the classand adjust plans for the next few weeks. Content-wise, the instructors were able to share theirexpertise on different topics in several formats. Besides learning about multiple topics, thestudents conducted two team-projects with typically three students on a team. The first projectwas to build a touchless candy dispenser. We invited community children and their families tovisit the project room, one family at a time, for a safe

). New partners sometimes inquire whether that person could be eliminated from the program to save costs. In short, our answer is a resounding no. This person is the glue that holds the teams and their research together. 3. Team-based research. Projects work best, and the program scales best, when students work in teams. We have found that teams of between 2-4 students maximize the benefits of team-based work, while still making it feasible for students to find time to coordinate and work together. 4. Mentor students on planning their course load while they participate in ERSP. At UCSB, we found that there is a tendency for students to take ERSP as an overload even though they receive elective credit that

For the aircraft program, the general courses and most fundamental professionalcourses of aviation program were almost the same as the mechanical program. Of course, there arealso a wide range of professional bases and less professional courses.(Cao 1999).Based on the Sino-US agreement, Tsinghua started
