This study highlights efforts made to equip students for future aircraft designby creating a senior class project that incorporated computer programming and computer-aideddesign tools, while also addressing knowledge gaps through course-supporting modules. Theresearch was prompted by observations of aerospace engineering students at the University ofCalifornia-Irvine (UC Irvine) struggling to integrate design tools into their final projects. It wasnoted that approximately half of the aerospace engineering students in the study had not beenintroduced to fundamental computer-aided design, as it was not included

The use of case studies inengineering and technological education, however, has been somewhat limited. Currently,educators are more and more interested in incorporating case studies in their courses. As a result,there are growing needs and interests in industry-based case studies in these fields.The current paper presents examples of industry-based case studies that can be used in coursessuch as DC/AC circuits, engineering fundamentals, thermodynamics, and physics.

Recentdevelopment to introduce “writing across the curriculum” pedagogy is an excellent example of adesired skill or capability that can be integrated at a number of different points within theprogram. An “Academic Thread” is suggested as a paradigm for formalizing the integration of atopic across a number of different courses within the curriculum. While the desire forcurriculum integration and the idea of integrating a topic across multiple courses is not new,Academic Threads and the ABET emphasis on program and course learning objectives areproposed as avenues to formalize and better focus these

The only factor that significantly and independently contributedto the students laboratory skills and knowledge base was the latter.

Can you think of an example that is illegal but ethical?The preparation questions serve as a warm-up discussion for the students with their peers and theinstructor.

Two or three students can work as agroup, and they can collaborate and improve the model they created. After completing thesimulation and verification, they need to write a project report and present the result to the wholeclass. Besides, students are also required to write four essays on the remaining five kinds ofsystems. In these essays students need to review the concepts and theories, and include at leastone application.II.
