In this way the students stayed focused and were ableto directly relate the lecture material to the practical projects.The students were introduced to aircraft structures and their final project was to build a wingletsection of aluminum alloy. They practiced and mastered techniques such as measuring, drilling,sheet metal forming, riveting and welding. During the propulsion sessions, they were introducedto aircraft reciprocating and turbine engines. They were involved in test runs of engines and thebalancing procedures of a propeller.

Students who either underestimate the time necessary in order to gain therespective competencies or fail to reach their personal expectations due to frustrations resultingfrom (perceived) excessive workload are not aware of the requirements for a “new kind ofthinking or a new set of technical languages” associated with engineering courses (Unnthorson etal.).
