FlightSimulation/Visualization software has been utilized extensively for instructional purposes,however this has been limited to aviation schools for pilot training [5] or for teaching moreadvanced concepts such as control system design [6-9]. For the more fundamental courses, oneexample of an innovative pedagogical strategy is the utilization of a “flying classroom” [10].However, since this involves that use of an actual aircraft, it is not easily transferable to otheruniversities while also not being cost effective.

The goal of the curriculum is to provide a student-centeredapproach to engineering education that incorporates engineering fundamental concepts withhands-on experiences through fabrication, programming, and design.

student involvement is an essential aspect ofmeaningful learning. Also, engaging students in learning is principally the responsibility ofthe instructor, who should become less an imparter of knowledge and more a designer and afacilitator of learning experiences and opportunities. In other words, the real challenge incollege teaching is not trying to cover the material for the students, as many of us believe andpractice today; but rather uncovering the material with the students. This is a call for allfaculty involved with teaching engineering courses and as members of faculty teams whodevelop, maintain, and implement engineering programs , to consider not only the contentand topics that make up an engineering degree but also how students engage
