The students in the classroom also bring a diversity of experi-ences and learning styles to the student-teacher relationship. Keeping in mind the respon-sibility of both instructors and students to effectively communicate with one another aswell as to adequately prepare for learning outside of the classroom, engineering instruc-tors should be interested in considering different ways of presenting course material.

The course meets twice aweek for two hours each and relies heavily on team-based, hands-on activities and projects tohelp students learn the course material. Additionally, the course uses a flipped classroomapproach, where students watch assigned videos or read selected chapters from the textbookprior to attending class and spend most of class time

This increasing demand for science and engineering employeeshas led federal and state governments to emphasize career and technical education (CTE) insecondary and postsecondary institutions [3], [4]. Traditionally, CTE instruction has primarilybeen in the arena of one or two-year postsecondary institutions [5]; further, there has been anincreasing focus on CTE in K-12 education [6]. In contrast, little evidence exists of CTE trainingin the traditional sense completely at four-year universities, with the exception of transferagreements from community colleges into four-year institutions [7].Through an innovative five-week manufacturing summer camp, the author’s home university,Austin Peay State University (APSU), has provided on

All agree, though, that novirtual experience can fully replace hands-on learning: it must be retained. We also recognize thevalue of occasional face-to-face interaction for effective problem solving and clarification ofmisunderstandings on the material, etc. The key idea is that we can retain these clearly desirableelements as per a traditional class while at the same time leveraging the resources offered by thetechnology to ease the burden on the student without sacrificing quality.Since we are still new to the technology that enables the VSC, there will likely be otherunforeseen applications that will benefit engineering education.

curriculum. However, in FlightDynamics and Control I and II courses, there are typically no hands-on laboratory or co-curricular elements that demonstrate engineering and scientific principles/theories using real-world problems [1-2]. Such conventional curricula norms in Flight Dynamics and Control I andII courses are challenged in this work.KU student evaluations from 2005-2010 consistently point to the lack of real-world experiencesin many fundamental engineering disciplines. Many laboratory and design experimentsunfortunately take place within the confines of closed space, using pre-defined inputs andoutputs, and a monotonous approach to the completion of an experiment. The majority of classprojects are limited to theories and mathematical

Questions havebeen raised about the environmental impact of these assignment submission methods[1].

In fact, several versions of that part were built in the same run so that they could each betested and the best fitting part selected. Given the small volume (and associated material cost)this seemed a reasonable approach to get the part in the students’ hands quickly. The nature ofthe VFlash build process, also meant that there wasn’t a time cost associated with the additionalversions to test, since the build time for the VFlash scales with the height being built, not thepack density of individual layers. One of the design variants provided a suitable fit to
