Focus and dedication of the student team was the key tosuccessfully complete the project and make the drone flying.RecommendationsAs recommendation for anyone who wants to make their own drone the following suggestionsare made: Take proper training in CAD and use of 3D printers; conduct background research onrapid prototyping and drone technology; read carefully the related materials (reference manuals,books, articles, internet resources, etc.) and watch online tutorials; never do anything when youare not sure; and take proper safety measures while conducting the flying tests.AcknowledgementsThis project was funded by the Mercer Summer Engineering Experience (MeSEE) program

IntroductionEngineering educators are struggling with the question of how to most effectively utilizetechnology, multimedia and the WWW to enhance engineering education. In the subject area ofdynamics one of the most natural applications of multimedia has been in the use ofsimulations1,2. Dynamics textbooks often include a CD-ROM with simulations. For example,Engineering Mechanics: Statics and Dynamics by Hibbler3 has over 120 simulation models.Often these models are of example problems or homework problems and allow students to varyparameters to hopefully explore the problem more fully. In the author’s personal experience,these sorts of

Blackboard was used to help postresources for the students and to help exchange information the students found related to thetopic. Students were asked to conduct their own research in the topic area on the internet, injournal articles, and books. Lab analyses were taught after the student/professor discussions.During the discussions, the purpose was to have the students identify the environmental lab teststhat were needed to analyze their samples such as measuring turbidity or microorganisms presentin a water sample. Students therefore first understood “why” they needed to conduct the

ofthe problem based learning (PBL) programs in the School of Electrical Engineering, VictoriaUniversity (VU) that commenced in 2006. There are many challenges in PBL such as the designproblems that will allow students to explore many facets of a problem and eventually learn whatis needed to solve it. Another challenge is to try and make the problems constructively alignedwith the desired learning outcomes of the unit of study. Nonetheless, students will be working inteams on different aspects of the problems. The issue we are faced with in regards to team workis trying to engage students in the problems and to make the problem exciting. As these problemswill mimic industry problems, role playing has brought the problems to life. The results

Our analysis, based on responses from 314 students, demonstrates the effectiveness of the module in meeting our goals and also sheds light on opportunities for further improvement that we have already capitalized on. We envision that our module can be adopted and adapted by other CS programs and that our experiences can serve as an exemplar for the development of similar program-specific AInt learning modules, all with the overarching goal of mitigating AInt violations.1 IntroductionPrior studies suggest that Academic Integrity (AInt) cases are on the rise in Computer Science(CS) compared to other disciplines [1, 2], likely due to the Internet facilitating ready access toabundant CS materials and personal assistance

possible to consider the PC and network technology from a differentperspective. The PC is now a (relatively) low cost consumer item. This has been possible dueto design and manufacturing changes that include: Assembly Level Manufacturing (ALM),Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) and Surface Mounted Technology (SMT).The result is PCs with a standard architecture and modular construction – so simple that highschool students take them apart. However, traditionally computer technology education istypically based on digital techniques, small scale integration IC’s, Karnaugh maps, assemblylanguage programming etc. Operation on PCs at this level simply does not exist any morewithin the field of computer and network support.

Following on the surveyresults, students engaged in the community-based projects felt more strongly about their desire toapply engineering in service roles. Also, the faculty and students felt these projects providedmore “real-world” applications.
