An important constraint was their finaldesign had to be easily maintained in the selected developing country. Another constraint wasthat each team had a budget of approximately $500 which came from their lab fees($100/student) for the course.The teams were selected based on each student’s self-assessment of their knowledge of drones,3D plastic printing, and renewable power generation. The instructor then divided the students sothat each drone team had at least one student with significant knowledge and experience withdrones. However, all students had to pass the FAA’s drone certification exam(https://trust.modelaircraft.org/) by about the midpoint of the

, the redesigned pattern provides more flexibility to students’ study plans, which canpotentially increase their graduation rates. In addition, the redesign process reduced the numberof prerequisites and co-requisites from 10 to 8. A more compact curriculum allows the importantlearning outcomes to be taught in a timely manner, which could increase the efficiency of students’learning process.Given the high complexity nature of engineering programs, it is important to explore various meth-ods to help students with their studies. In this paper, we proposed a way from the perspective ofrearranging the program-level learning outcomes from a curriculum, to reduce curricular complex-ity in the curricula design process. To assess the efficacy of this

MEAs are constructed based on six principles: (1) Model construction, (2) Reality, (3)Self-assessment, (4) Model-documentation, (5) Construct share-ability and re-usability, and (6)Effective prototype [12]. The MEAs principles are intentionally designed for students toconstruct mathematical systems that will be applied to address the needs of a client; this processis similar to what future engineers must learn to interpret constraints and affordances inengineering design [4]. Under the MMP approach, models can be defined as conceptual systems (consisting of elements, relations, operations, and rules governing interactions) that are expressed using external notation systems

Thefollowing four questions were asked in each class: 1. To what extent has your ability to develop an understanding of quantum computing increased during this class? 2. To what extent has your ability to observe trends about the changing world with a future-focused orientation/perspective increased during this class? 3. To what extent has your ability to consider a solving problem from

The choice of debate topics we leave up to the teams -- usually a team consists ofabout 10 students (I simply split our class of twenty down the middle so that we willhave two different debate topics). We facilitate their discussion by putting their topicideas on the whiteboard and helping them try to reach consensus on a topic.
