onbest practices and leading industry trends. To the AEC industry’s leading providers of critical thinkers,creative solution makers and future leaders, AE programs adopt a myriad of teaching strategies. The coreof AE programs revolve around providing a realistic design and construction experience for students thatsimulates industry, with senior capstone projects commonly being the location for such an experience. Upto now, much has been researched on capstone delivery, but often excluded in this research are AE programsdue to the small cohort size, as say compared to mechanical engineering. This paper is the third in a seriesof AE program benchmarking, where the initial paper looked at general formulations, delivery, and projectutilization

this competition. An initial investmentpurchased 10 robot kits and a competition field. This outfits a class size of 25 students workingin 5 teams. The first-year implementation cost was approximately $1200 per student and thesecond and third-year cost under $400 per student. With the outbreak of the COVID pandemicand safety restrictions occurring just prior to the first year of implementation, this choice wastimely and allowed the college to provide a capstone project for a full class of students. Facultyhad the ability to control and adapt the project as needed. During the second-year, restrictionseased, and faculty again adapted the project. All students were required to participate as amember of a team. Each team planned, designed, built

This activity was not part of this capstone project, but itdemonstrated that students have the initiative to implement novel methods. Although notnecessary in this case, the drone can be used to observe details that are difficult or risky toaccess. Figure 1a and 1b show pictures looking west and taken with the drone. Figure 1c showsthe side view of the bridge looking east.After the field visit, the groups began by making the CAD drawing and MTO of the bridge.

Programming CourseBackgroundIn the fall of 2003, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University formed separate colleges andthe College of Engineering was born. One of the first initiatives of the college was tostrive to have a common first year among all its engineering programs (Aeronautical,Civil, Computer, Electrical, Mechanical, and Software Engineering). Having a commonyear would allow first year engineering students to switch degrees with no impact to theirschedule.One course used by most engineering majors was “CS223 Computer Programming forEngineers” which was originally taught in FORTRAN then migrated to C in the mid90’s. The course taught up to structures in C and was basically a C programming coursetaught by predominantly adjunct professors. The

The movie script was basedon a book by one of the astronauts.14The story offers many examples that are useful in teaching about engineering and technologicalliteracy. Starting with the report and telemetry data showing that something was wrong with thespacecraft, the engineering team identifies and solves a multitude of problems. Initially, thereare sharp differences over what to do. Once a course of action has been developed, the teamfaced many problems with severe constraints and a high degree of uncertainty. Also, it isapparent that the chances for success were poor; it was not clear that the team could bring thecrew home

and slow to make progress recruiting. Regular visitswere needed to keep the project on track. It became necessary to enlist the help of the Director ofFayette County services for the college. Her office in a nearby town was close enough to the highschool to permit regular visits as registration approached. Her efforts to recruit and register thetrial group saved the program from failure before it began. The initial student body surveycontained over 250 names of interested students. Subsequent selection by the high school staffproduced 12 students. By the last day of spring registration only one of these students was able toafford the cost of tuition. In a last-ditch-effort, the director contacted the Vice Provost’s officeand discretionary
