In the1930's Dewey (1939) focused on the importance of experiential learning in the natural sciences.After World War II, returning veterans pushed America's educational system to recognizealternative systems of learning. This resulted in the development of standardized examinationssuch as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP).

Conclusions Educational and research goals can be accomplished simultaneously by utilizing teams of undergraduateengineering students from multiple disciplines to conduct “real-world” engineering research and developmentprojects under the direction of faculty advisors. The development of an experimental apparatus to simulate thedynamics and control of spinning rockets at the Oral Roberts University Engineering and Physics Department isan example of such a project. Subsystem engineering of the spacecraft model, sphericaJ air bearing, and attitude tracking systems aresynthesized to complete the first phase of development.
