Since 1970, the department has used available military aircraft to supplement thecurriculum with Flight Laboratories. There are five main goals of the Flight LaboratoryProgram. 1. To provide students with quality, hands-on instruction one-on-one with their instructor in an actual aircraft. 2. To build technical understanding of the aerodynamics and performance of airplanes and helicopters for both students and instructors. 3
lift produced, while the parasitic component ofdrag is a strong function of the area of the surfaces that are in contact with the airflow, or the"wetted area". By minimizing the effects of drag and simultaneously maximizing the effects oflift, we can achieve a system that operates more optimally.[12]. Figure 1. Aircraft Components.The drag calculator project was introduced to students with the objective of showcasing howtheir knowledge of aircraft performance could be used to understand the effects of drag over anairplane as it is a fundamental step in aircraft design. The project incorporated topics covered intheir course, discussion sessions and assignments while also challenging them to use design
engineering education.As a best practices paper, we describe the key elements of the course including thetheories that shaped the learning environment and learning objectives, provide evidenceof student learning outcomes, and suggest ways for using or improving upon this model.Course outcomes are described through the students’ voice as co-authors of this paper.The students used their final reflection assignment to collectively identify their: (1) initialperspectives on engineering education research and the influence of these perspectives ontheir experience in the course, (2) general “take aways” they believe will have a lastingimpact, (3) evolving perspectives on what it means to become an engineering educationprofessional and how they are
professional engineers were very confident in their ability to listen toothers, while engineering students rated themselves proficient at listening to others [5].However, the extent that these self-perceptions reflect reality is unclear. In general, listeningreceives almost no attention in formal engineering education [4, p. 529]. For example, listeningwas characterized as the weakest component among the communication skills within anelectrical engineering curriculum [6].Listening can be linked with a number of the 21 outcomes in the ASCE Civil Engineering Bodyof Knowledge 3 (BOK3, [7]), including all 6 of the professional outcomes and 3 of the 7technical outcomes; proposed links are shown in Figure 1.Figure 1.

Figure 1. Cube counting exercise.7 Although gender differences are not the primary focus of this research, it is noteworthy tomention that males and females tend to approach spatial tasks differently. According to Linn andPetersen, males tend to favor the holistic approach whereas females tend to be more analytical.10This fact might explain why males generally outperform females on spatial tasks, possibly due tothe speed required on some spatial ability assessments. In addition, Cooper found that thosefavoring a holistic approach can utilize an analytical approach when the task requires ananalytical method to obtain a solution.7 However, research seems to focus on spatial ability as awhole rather than homing in on the means of approaching
global marketplace. In Germany, for instance,upwards of 25% of all engineering students engage in at least one study-abroad or internationalinternship experience [2]; by sharp contrast, only 3.5% of U.S. engineering students go abroadduring their studies [1].Given the recognized national urgency of better preparing our engineering graduates for globalpractice [21][12][7][4][15], it is surprising how little progress has towards this goal has beenmade on a broad national level. Some institutions have responded to these new imperatives byworking harder to integrate global perspectives on campus, typically within the “general studies”curriculum. At Northern Arizona University, for example, our campus-wide Global LearningInitiative [3] provides

Additionally, recorded lectures can be easily edited to createshort instructional videos for supplemental instruction, additional problem solving, flippedclassroom, or even to give a lab orientation before the actual lab. Fully recorded sessions canalso be made available to select students who missed classes due to job interviews, athletics, orillness. As campuses increased their technical capacity and capability, the talent and equipmentcan and should still be used so all are proficient before we must react to another tumultuousevent.References[1] A.

Second, every participating EEE faculty member will have the opportunity to introduce new graduatestudents to their primary area of teaching and research. Third, a community of students will emerge with ashared experience over the breadth of environmental and ecological engineering fundamental principles.Suggested Module Approach 1. Twelve separate modules will be offered over a two-year period, six per year. 2. Co-teaching of modules is encouraged; however, individual teaching is allowed. (Footnote: If a module is co-taught, it is expected that both instructors attend every session and plan instructional strategies

The broader objective of this workflow was to expand thestudents’ knowledge of computational navigation and programming development whileexpanding upon their technical skill sets. During week 2 of a given semester, students in bothCS2 and OOP courses were introduced to the command line workflow module via Canvas. Thismodule was comprised of two protocols that the students underwent during their exposure tocommand line programming: 1) file navigation practices via a Linux-based command line tool,and 2) a document comprised of two exercises that train them with composing, editing,compiling, and running program solutions via a Linux-based command line tool.
