Engineering Education, 2017 UAS Curriculum for Students using an Active Learning ApproachAbstractUnmanned aircraft systems (UAS) offer an exciting opportunity to teach students about basicprinciples of aerospace engineering and instill valuable systems engineering design experience.The widespread popularity of UAS, an explosion of affordable and capable systems, and recentadvances in policy by the FAA have created a permissive climate where these may be effectivelyused by students as either a new means to conduct scientific research or as the primary focus of asystems engineering design project. Whether a means or an end, UAS-based projects and coursesprovide stimulating and relevant learning opportunities many students are seeking today.The

Thepractical experience and the unique applications gained from working with homebuilt aircraftbrings a much needed “hands on” systems approach to engineering practice for the students.The many associated theoretical areas in aerospace engineering that the homebuilt aircraft canbe linked to, such as aerospace structures

As evidenced by the ideas presented in this paper, a great deal of progress can be madeby bringing individuals together in closely related fields to innovate methods of defense thatprotect our critical and other infrastructure. If we do not, we put ourselves at risk as our worldbecomes more interconnected. Industries that once had little concern for attack in cyberspace mustnow become much more aware of the threats and devise defense strategies that best protect theirassets.In engineering and technology, cyber-security occupies only a small portion of the educationalsurface area that is considered in today’s curriculum.

applicability of the case method for both aircraft performance and other coursesin the aerospace engineering curriculum.IntroductionCase studies are teaching methods based on historical scenarios that typify the practice of aprofession. Cases have been used effectively in fields including medicine, law, and businessmanagement to provide real-world context to curriculum material and to foster a learn-by-doingapproach to practical problem solving. The use of case studies in engineering education appearsto be more limited than in these other professional fields.Inspired by case-based approaches to engineering education, this paper describes an initialexperience of incorporating a case study assignment into an undergraduate course in aircraftperformance

Spacecraft Programs in Improving Space EducationIt has been argued and very well documented by professional organizations,federal space research programs and the experience of many schools in the U.S.and around the world that hands-on, project-based education is very effective forrecruiting, retaining and training engineering students [1-4, 15-18]. Since earlyeighties to mid-nineties, only a handful of universities worldwide had even atoken amount of student involvement in real spacecraft engineering. This trendchanged dramatically in the new millennium with programs such as the AFRL-sponsored University Nanosat Program, the CanSat/BalloonSat program, and Page

academic institutions as well as members from the industryparticipate in the CDIO activities. A number of studies have documented the use of such techniquesin redesigning their curriculum in various fields, from operating like a small company (Säisä,2017) undergraduate design projects (Takemata, 2013), a course in electronics (Svensson, 2012)and systems engineering (Hsu, 2007). The most relevant aspect of the CDIO approach in the context of our course curriculumredesign is that it has been shown to be successful in fostering long term retention of fundamentalengineering concepts taught in the classroom. At our institution (as perhaps with others),constraints on time and resources has resulted in a limited, informal adoption of some aspects

applied due to inherentassumptions that are inaccurate enough to cause problems in the “real world.” This focus onmodeling is commonly implicit in engineering curricula [6], [7], but research has shown thatstudents best learn modeling practices through their explicit inclusion in the curriculum [8].One approach to explicitly incorporating mathematical modeling into undergraduate engineeringeducation is through Model-Eliciting Activities [9]. Instead of an instructor-centered pedagogy,Model-Eliciting Activities are student-centered activities in which students work in a small groupto develop mathematical models that describe a particular problem. These activities “requirestudents to mathematize (e.g. quantify, organize, dimensionalize) a situation

We also gained experience with performing a literature search, as, out ofnecessity, we sought out and compiled sources of information on electric propulsion, and weeventually interfaced directly

On the positive side,research demonstrates that quizzes facilitate learning, while the reduced instructor workload isundeniable. Some of the student negativity indicated in the survey results seems to comeprimarily from the fact that it is a new approach and they are just not used to it.
