). It is very important for aneducator to make the students fully understand the problem before they have the chance to thinkof creative solutions while keeping in mind the importance of real-world application. By havingthe students understand the theory by means of application, the development of creative thinkingtakes place, transforming the students into better problem solvers (O'Brien and Abulencia, 2010). In a conventional classroom, lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy: knowledge,comprehension, and application are practiced (Bloom et al., 1956). The instructor introduces atopic, shows its applications, and assigns practice problems to the students with the goal ofrepetitive solutions making them familiar with engineering concepts

Even more attractive is using real world data when learning how toaddress challenges. Statistics courses are usually required for aeronautical engineeringtechnology and other aviation technology students to prepare them with data analysis skills forsolving practical problems. Students who major in aviation technology programs are encouragedto practice the learned statistical knowledge with real life aviation data.

A common feature of any engineering program is to reinforce theory learned in aclassroom environment with hands-on applications in the form of laboratory exercises. Forrotorcraft courses, simulation, wind tunnel experiments, and whirl-stands all have their role insupplementing classroom instruction. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applicationof a laboratory conducted in an actual helicopter as one way to reinforce classroom instruction,provide practical context for the study of helicopters, and to inspire students.Background The Mechanical Engineering Program at West Point has offered courses in AeronauticalEngineering in some form or another since the 1920s.

The operating principle is to combine hydrogen and oxygen in anelectrochemical reaction, which creates electricity, water, and waste heat.[6] The wholesystem produces zero emissions and therefore is considered a renewable energysolution.Many researchers have studied systems that integrate wind and photovoltaic powerwith fuel cells for a variety of applications and configurations. Most research hadmodel simulations for power generation greater than 100W.

In addition, a MATLAB and C++programs will be used to calculate PID values.This paper suggests one possible method to implement the concepts that studentshave learned in the other courses, and use them in the real world applications.Robotic car and Robotic arm are two examples of the projects implemented in oneof the courses in the

So, those who master 21st-century skills like critical thinking, effective communicationand information literacy will be more likely to make a successful transition into universities, technicalschools and the workforce. Studies have found that up to 40 percent of students who enter U.S. collegesand technical schools need remedial coursework, which adds time and expense to their college education.Not surprisingly, these students are less likely to earn a degree or certificate than their better-preparedpeers, putting them at a significant disadvantage in the workforce.Solution: Solving real-world challengesTo build skills for success, we
