clear to the author that if this subject had to make an impact in studentsunderstanding and interest in the field of aeronautical engineering, it cannot be done through conventionallecture-based model. On the other hand, the fundamental theories cannot be overlooked in the interest offocusing on applications. This paper documents an endeavor to achieve a balance between those two byfollowing McLaren’s [6] suggestion that the theory informs practice but experiential and practicalknowledge can be employed as a means to understanding and interpreting that theory. The objective is toapproach a math-based Aerodynamics class from a context of application, student-centered (SCEL) andinstructor-centered experiential learning (ICEL) at the same time
buckling problems is integral to the study of civil, mechanical andaerospace engineering. The academic introduction to the bending of beams with constant crosssection is usually given to students of these disciplines early in the engineering curriculum in acourse in mechanics of materials. That which is presented here is not meant to supplant thefundamental understanding of the bending phenomenon but rather to provide an introduction tonumerical approximations often needed for real-world applications. It is important for students tofirst gain understanding of the static bending problems from an analytical and physical point ofview. Typical courses where static bending problems are encountered are structural analysis,advanced mechanics of materials

One of the big differencesbetween external and internal communication is that internal communication is usually simplexor one-way communication; external communication is always duplex communication in orderto both monitor the robot and controls it at the same time. Overall, external communication canbe categorized into wired and wireless. The selection of methods was dependent on the cost,reliability, and bandwidth.- ManeuveringIn order to move inside the pipe, the robot is required to have a maneuvering

Results and implications are discussed in the following manuscript.Introduction The significance of underrepresented women entering STEM (science, technology,engineering, and mathematics) fields and careers is critical for extinguishing the long-lastingnegative stereotypes around women and minorities in the field [1]. Both women and racialminorities have historically been the lowest group to be involved within the STEM fields andhave been so for several years [2]. Prior work suggests that women are less likely to seek andobtain STEM degrees

That means that an engineerwho is generally a conservative and rational person must design for people who are not.In fact engineers must design to protect the undereducated, non conservative risk takers.Various studies have shown that a vast majority of instruction books are only read after aproblem has cropped up. To prove the point, watch how many Christmas toys get builtincorrectly by average fathers who will not use an instruction manual before a screwdriver...You as designers may be at fault legally, because you did not foresee thiseventuality and design around it.

The students are confronted with tasks to complete, a time deadline,teammates, and instructor who wander around asking questions.Most of the construction students are traditionally tactile learners. The hands-on approach in learningusually is the method of choice for the construction students. Engineering and technology courses alwayscontained learning-by-doing components. However, to maximize the student’s natural talents manyconstruction courses are taught as “active learning in a group environment.” The classes are typicallydivided into teams of three students. The teams are continuously involved in problem solving in theclassroom, supplemented by short lectures. The students use various assessment tools and
