However, one flight per year provides little opportunity for feedback and design improvement. With an in-house test setup, students can design a series of experiments and verify their work throughout the year. This testbed will provide students with a research tool for exploring the differences between CMG and direct drive actuators.Introduction Experiential learning is an important part of an engineering education.

The rubric scoresstudents on the relevance of what they write to engineering practice, writing ability, analysis ofthe experience, interconnection with other classes, validity or lack of self-criticism, andawareness of ethics. Qualitative analysis of these statements indicated that: 1) the class isvalued by students compared to other, more theory-based classes in the program; 2) students sawother project-based and laboratory classes as providing better preparation for an engineeringcareer than theory-based classes; 3) students valued the certification training and

These steps support the goal of using sketching and CAD to generate a rapid succes-sion of design concepts, while providing students with a structured approach to developtheir project management skills.
