. Effectively communicate technical information.Presuming that students learn best by “doing” (hands-on), workshops became a desiredpedagogical approach to engage students in active learning and were incorporated in the coursestructure in Summer 98, Fall 98, and Spring 99. The workshops are designed as in-classactivities that allow students to learn from experiences rather than exclusively from lectures,homework, and texts.This paper explains the design and application of the workshops. It also presents someassessment results. Before describing the workshops, however, a brief background on theacademic program at USAFA is provided as a basis to understand the academic challengesconfronting the design and presentation of this fundamental engineering

-based learning and active learning, also referred to as inductive learning have been extensivelyresearched. While the results of these various pedagogies vary, in general, their effect on studentlearning has been demonstrated to be positive in comparison to traditional lecturing.A hands-on approach to learning concepts of aerospace engineering is therefore not a newpedagogical approach and has found wide usage, and enhanced learning has been reported in theliterature. This aspect has been acknowledged by professional societies who have supported itsadoption. Thus, while engineering education over the years has emphasized capstone designactivities, more recently aerospace engineering curricula have incorporated elements of buildingand flying

such as regulargraduate engineering courses, short courses and tutorials, in response to this level of enthusiasm.One of the older forms of distance learning was correspondence learning. In this method, some universitiesmailed the materials to students on a regular basis. This arrangement was somewhat successful forbusiness, psychology and a few other disciplines. However, engineering was not typically offered this way.All and all, this approach to distance education had little success (at least in offering engineeringeducation) and often times was not taken seriously.The electronic age ushered a number of alternative distance learning programs. The most fruitful form wasdelivery of the graduate-engineering curriculum through watching
