It is maintained that “there is little detailed information onhow flight simulators have been implemented in coursework, how effective they are inlearning improvement, or how this has been assessed” 6 (p.429). Accordingly, the aim of thispaper is to describe and compare the learning outcomes of two teaching paradigms of anaeronautical engineering course on aircraft dynamics and control - the airborne flightlaboratory and a more ‘contained’ learning environment – the Aviation Studio.The Flight LaboratoriesThe airborne flight laboratory was conducted in a specially instrumented Cessna 182RG lightaircraft (Figure 1).

Its specific feature is the transition from “knowledgetransfer” learning and teaching methods to the practice-oriented continuous education based on funda-mental theoretical contents. Therefore, Russian higher education faces a challenge of providing qualityassurance and world recognition of Russian educational system, particularly through training of elite spe-cialists and teams of professionals based on the outcome based approach [2].2 Quality Assurance ToolsThe quality of specialists

this field grapples first-hand with how to effectively address many globalchallenges. Unfortunately, STEM fields, engineering, in particular suffer from a lack of diversitydue to gendered, ethno-racial, and cultural biases, often implicit, that circumvent the fullinclusion of members from underrepresented groups [1]. This lack of diversity threatens toimpede engineering’s ability to tackle these pressing societal challenges. As such, the field ofengineering is at a critical crossroads, at which it is imperative that thought-leaders from multiplenations across academia, industry, and the government, come together to build a globalinfrastructure that increases diversity and inclusion in engineering education.This paper describes one such

distinctly unique examples of project-based learning.BackgroundIn 1970, Worcester Polytechnic Institute adopted The WPI Plan, a project-based educationalphilosophy that requires students to complete three term-length research projects, adviseddirectly by faculty, during their undergraduate careers [1]. During their junior year, studentsgenerally complete their “Interactive Qualifying Project” (IQP). This is a critical time in astudent’s professional development, as junior-year students have the technical skills necessaryfor a productive research project, but likely have little research experience and are close enoughto graduation to be seriously thinking about the future and focusing more on academic work [2,3]. The final requirement is the “Major

Therefore the ability to solve problems creatively has beenidentified as one of the imperative competencies for graduating students. The need to engagemore female students to study STEM subjects is a worldwide concern and was also highlightedby US President Barak Obama [2].

Multiple Thinking through the Engineering Design ProcessAbstractThe impact of the quality of engineering students’ education on the industry of a country cannotbe underestimated. While there are numerous studies on the types of qualities that graduateengineers should have, the extent to which undergraduate engineering students choose to acquirethese qualities or skills depends greatly on the type of epistemic beliefs that they have. Thepurpose of the current study was to investigate the epistemic beliefs of first year engineeringstudents. It is the first part of a study aiming to establish both the general epistemic beliefs [1] ofengineering students, as well as if and how these beliefs relate to students’ Engineering Habits ofMind [2].
