So we estimated and designed a structure ourselves. If we were given the actual dimensions we could have gotten more accurate numbers. • None, its good like this • Perhaps add some other types of failure loads and sample geometries, different materials for core and faces, and proper density measurements! Many assumptions had to be made. • I would recommend a comparison of different honeycomb materials. Also I think details on

Especially as experiential learning becomes increasingly prevalent in curriculum designand further emphasized as an important educational tool, engineering technology is beginning togain traction as both a career path and a field of study, particularly among those seeking to spendless time in the classroom. For instance, in 2014, there were over 34,000 students who graduatedwith 2-year engineering technology degrees, versus 4,409 students who graduated with 2-yearengineering degrees, even though the number of graduates with 4-year engineering degreesremained substantially higher than those with 4-year engineering technology degrees [1].As this growth continues, it is increasingly evident that more research needs to be done

traditional didactic and passive-style learningreferred by Paulo Freire as “banking education.”[ 1] There is ample precedence and philosophical backing for the learning-by-doing approach.Some trace it as far as Confucius, with his memorable adage from around 450 BC: “Tell me, andI will forget. Show me, and I may remember. Involve me, and I will understand.” In more recenttimes, David Kolb defined the concept of Experiential Learning Theory (ELT)[ 2] using twocontinuum axes: active experimentation–reflective observation and abstract conceptualization–concrete experience. Each of four learning types consists of experimentation, experience, orreflection as an active component of the learning process. These components can be used asbuilding
