systems have from their earliest days been concerned with providing toolswith which researchers and scientists in other fields can used in order to determine new results.CAS can have a significant impact on the way mathematic, physics or engineering courses aretaught and applied. In teaching mathematics or physics now it is possible to concentrate onmathematical or physics content, rather than on counting numbers or finding solutions of exoticequations or integrals. A computer algebra system in itself is no more than a high levelprogramming language for visualization, and symbolic and numerical computation. Basically,computer algebra systems are programs designed for symbolic manipulation of mathematicalobjects such as polynomials, vector and

. The core content is distilled into vertical streams fromcourse notes in specific disciplines. The aerodynamics vertical stream now goes from theintroductory freshman (high-school) level all the way to the PhD qualifying examination leveland the research leading edge. This is one spar of the aerospace knowledge structure, branchingoff into various disciplines such as Vehicle Performance and Propulsion, tied by their commonuse of fluid dynamics concepts through aerodynamics. The main spar is aerodynamics ratherthan fluid mechanics, because the emphasis is on engineering innovation rather than basicscience knowledge. Another vertical stream goes from basic thermodynamics throughundergraduate-level propulsion to combustion concepts, rocket

Very little research has been done on the development of creative thinkingtowards finding out-of-the-box solutions to engineering problems. Provansik et al. related theencouragement of creativity in classrooms to the strength of American education system(Provasnik, et al., 2012). Innovative teaching techniques that strategically enhance creativethinking of engineering students and focuses on their ability to solve problems is increasing inAmerican colleges (Daly, Mosyjowski, & Seifert, 2014; Brent & Felder, 2014). According toresearchers, the development of creative thinking can sometimes be a more abstract andoverwhelming task for the educators (Diaz, 1992; Brandsford, 1983

The entries for thecompetitions are further categorized by Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) engines or StudentResearch and Developed (SRAD) engines [3, 4, 5, 6 and 7]. There are enough difficulties andchallenges involved in designing both solid and liquid propellant engines, specifically in theSRAD category. Yet, overcoming these challenges provides students with unique research andeducational opportunity to be innovative, creative and prepare as well-rounded engineers so theyare productive in industry, where, nearly all commercial launch systems utilize liquid propulsionsystems.Many

This deeplearning fosters attributes of success such as self-efficacy, motivation and persistence. However,the traditional chalk-and-talk teaching and learning environment is not conducive to engagestudents cognitively. The biggest impediment to implementing an environment for deep learningsuch as active-learning is the limited duration of a typical class period most of which isconsumed by lecturing.
