discussed above, a selection of B, C, and D motors were tested as possiblecandidates. After testing in the field, the Estes C5 motor was determined to be the best fit for thecourse. This was mainly due to its unique thrust curve (Figure 4).The thrust curve in Figure 4 displays a graph of thrust vs time. To overcome the limitations of aheavy rocket takeoff, we looked for engines with a high thrust in the beginning that would ensurea safe takeoff (if the rocket comes off the rail slowly, it is unstable). What also needs to beconsidered is the delay charge (time between thrust and parachute deployment). Afterconsidering the range of payload mass for the rocket, the optimal delay charge for all rockets wasthe best at around 3 seconds, therefore we use

. Since then, there have beennumerous adapted definitions proposed and used by various researchers and educators [1]. Thedefinition used in this paper was proposed by Bringle, et al. in 2006: Service learning is a credit-bearing educational experience in which students (a) participate in an organized service activity that meets identified community needs and (b) reflect on the service activity in such a way as to gain further understanding of course content, a broader appreciation of the discipline, and an enhanced sense of personal values and civic responsibilityThis definition of service learning works well for engineering classes because it explicitlydescribes the goal of students both identifying and working

For example, “contributing to the team’s work” (behavior metric 1, B.1)tended to boost virtually all dimensions of engineering identity, but it exerted the strongestconnection with the performance/competence dimension of engineering identity (P.1 through P.3in Table A.1). A similar theme also emerged from qualitative analysis of interview transcripts:several students professed that when they were able to apply themselves in teamwork they feltthat their EI grew as a result and that when they were unable to contribute their EI took a hit andfor two female students it
