). It is very important for aneducator to make the students fully understand the problem before they have the chance to thinkof creative solutions while keeping in mind the importance of real-world application. By havingthe students understand the theory by means of application, the development of creative thinkingtakes place, transforming the students into better problem solvers (O'Brien and Abulencia, 2010). In a conventional classroom, lower levels of Bloom’s taxonomy: knowledge,comprehension, and application are practiced (Bloom et al., 1956). The instructor introduces atopic, shows its applications, and assigns practice problems to the students with the goal ofrepetitive solutions making them familiar with engineering concepts

Education, 2017 Exploring the use of aviation databases in aviation coursesAbstractUsing real world data when learning new concepts is attractive to many students in engineeringtechnology programs. Even more attractive is using real world data when learning how toaddress challenges. Statistics courses are usually required for aeronautical engineeringtechnology and other aviation technology students to prepare them with data analysis skills forsolving practical problems. Students who major in aviation technology programs are encouragedto practice the learned statistical knowledge with real life aviation data.

capability is driving increased interest in thetopic. A common feature of any engineering program is to reinforce theory learned in aclassroom environment with hands-on applications in the form of laboratory exercises. Forrotorcraft courses, simulation, wind tunnel experiments, and whirl-stands all have their role insupplementing classroom instruction. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the applicationof a laboratory conducted in an actual helicopter as one way to reinforce classroom instruction,provide practical context for the study of helicopters, and to inspire students.Background The Mechanical Engineering Program at West Point has offered courses in AeronauticalEngineering in some form or another since the 1920s.

As a team ofinstructors who teach the Engineering Electromagnetics (EEMAG) I and II sequence, we weremotivated by a desire to create a set of courses, that require students to do real and relevantengineering electromagnetics – and utilize these skills effectively in later courses and clinicprojects. It is difficult to tackle all topics in a 7-week period so care must be taken to emphasizekey topics and strengthen understanding through real-world laboratory exercises. We present someexamples of a successful implementation of these objectives in this paper. We discuss numerousreal-world applications that are studied during our single semester sequence

The operating principle is to combine hydrogen and oxygen in anelectrochemical reaction, which creates electricity, water, and waste heat.[6] The wholesystem produces zero emissions and therefore is considered a renewable energysolution.Many researchers have studied systems that integrate wind and photovoltaic powerwith fuel cells for a variety of applications and configurations. Most research hadmodel simulations for power generation greater than 100W.

The apparent difficulty of transferring their learning ispartially due to the gap between classroom learning and real world practice. Very often, studentsreceived theoretical instruction on how the machines work, but do not have an opportunity topractice what they learned or solving real-world problems using what they learned.
