GIFTS: Going Circular – Reusing a First-Year Design ProjectWe developed a first-year multidisciplinary design project, which compels students to think interms of circular economies. This project focused on introducing students to the design processand project management. We structured the project for teams of 4 or 5 first-year students,requiring 40-50 hours per student throughout the semester. The students are required to keeptheir vehicle battery charged with use of a photovoltaic module. The competition goalprominently features a measure of the reusability of components.The project requires technical work in mechanics, electronics, and programming in a context ofsystem design and sustainability. Most students find at least one

week in the standard version and about 3 programmingassignments due per week in the honors version. Thus, TAs help students primarily withprogramming assignments, and lab experiments and reports, in addition to grading them.The second semester course for both the honors and standard versions is a student design project.In the standard version, students complete an advanced energy vehicle project, and in the honorsversion, students can choose to complete a robotics project, a nanotechnology project, or aproduct development project. Each project covers design processes including projectmanagement, technical writing, teamwork, and technical graphics, and most involve someprogramming, as well.

completing a degree program [3].Although the technical content of the course is not relatively complex compared to an upper-level engineering course, we find that some students are unable to complete it with a satisfactorygrade. This paper presents preliminary findings on examining the relative performance ofstudents on a recent midterm examination given in the class. Questions on the exam wereanalyzed based on a revised Bloom’s taxonomy [4], instructional method, and learningenvironment. The primary purpose of this work is to develop strategies and interventionsdesigned to close the readiness “gap” in a student’s pursuit of an engineering degree.Student Success and Introduction to Engineering CoursesIntroductory engineering courses have their

(2004) studied the PurdueConstruction Engineering Management Internship program and found thatstudents learn time management strategies from weekly site meetings,effective communication skills working on a team, and the challenges ofleadership as they observe interactions between the superintendent andsubcontractors, for example.There is other evidence supporting the notion that industry-basedinternships constitute significant learning experiences for students inengineering or technical fields. For instance, Biasca and Hill (2011) evaluatedthe Paper Science and Engineering program (PSEN) at the University ofWisconsin-Stevens Point that typically offers sophomore studentsemployment at a paper mill for eight months. They found that studentsgained

More to the point, this paper is meant to outlinehow such an opportune experience can provide students with a profound sense of pride andincreased confidence resulting from reaching beyond their own pre-existing bubble of technicalcompetence. It is this author’s hope that the example described below may serve as motivation toother faculty considering whether to invest their valuable time and efforts into new aerospace/interdisciplinary courses and experiences.Educational Benefits of UAS Engineering, One Author’s JourneyIt is not often that an engineering
