According to the authors' experience, the use of engineering simulation software canhelp the students with the process of decision-making and problem solving associated with thediscipline of engineering. They also noted that the students find pleasure in the computer-basedlaboratory exercises. Many publications on engineering education emphasize the importance ofteaching the principles. Pitts, using several examples, shows the importance of basic engineeringprinciples in each discipline9.

Unlike the twoprevious projects, there are extensive knowledge resources and experience in the broadercommunity for resolution of technical issues. Boeing personnel are connected to theproject through a primary liaison in Boeing’s internal education division, and all studentsthat participate in the project are required to attend a series of remotely-delivered lectureson the various technical and social aspects of coordinating the design of a UAV. Teamsare assigned across multiple universities (usually three) and teams are required tocommunicate over the Internet using software like Skype for Business for conductingcoordination activities related to UAV design and construction.

leverage the massive infrastructure available at cloud serviceproviders in order to perform a variety of tasks at a low cost. Paying for services on a per-needbasis, no up-front commitment of resources and the ability to dynamically adapt to differentworkloads ultimately translates to a more efficient and flexible use of client resources. Thisstructural change has the potential to cause an enormous shift in the economics of the data and inthe way companies store and process information.Cloud computing also presents many opportunities to improve the educational process inschools. Existing cloud-based software enables real-time collaboration, fine-grained sharing ofdata, analysis of scientific data sets, and management of course material (e.g

Beyond technical proficiency, the program emphasizes the cultivation ofcreative thinking and design innovation. Students embark on projects that challenge them to tacklereal-world problems, fostering an iterative design process that mirrors the dynamic nature ofprofessional engineering.On the first day of the program, students learn the basics of technical sketching as a criticalcommunication tool for engineers. Additionally, its importance in engineering, documentation,and coming up with novel inventions was highlighted as students covered various sketchingexercises using
