the number of STEM graduates and increasing underrepresented populationsearning a STEM degree for two reasons: (a) State will experience the largest headcount growth ofhigh school graduates in the next ten years; over 87,000 more graduates by 2025 [8] and (b) in2011, US Census Bureau[9] reported Texas was one of five majority minority states. While theAERO program traditionally has over 90% of the undergraduate students entering from highschools in Texas, the current ethnic and gender diversity of the student population does not reflectthe ethnic makeup of the state.A recent initiative by Texas A&M University seeks to diversify the aerospace departmentorganically through an “aerospace skills” based approach to design in an effort to

It is important to note that our intent is not to redesign this course to replace capstone projects;those projects are much more comprehensive and involve other topics including, but not limitedto aircraft structures and propulsion. The current course framework is listed, along with proposedCDIO inspired changes, in Table 1, and the syllabus (current and proposed CDIO based revision)is in Appendices A and B respectively.

majors (engineering, mathematics, chemistry, biology, computerscience, political science and English). The responding students included incoming freshmen,sophomores, juniors and seniors.Two assessment instruments will be used to establish the intellectual development mental modelsof the students. The first one (B-D scale) is a 16-item scale developed by Bateman and Donald[36]. Their instrument is a questionnaire that measures the stages of development in four broadercategories (dualism, multiplicity, relativism, and commitment) with four items for each stage. Thesecond instrument is the Learning Environment Preference (LEP) Instrument developed by Moore[37] to measure the development positions 2-5 (Intellectual Development). Positions 6-9

)they are interested, and 5) they feel cared about by the instructor and/or other students” [13].Marzano, Pickering and Heflebowen [14] noted that a pedagogical environment that elicits positiveresponses to questions: “a) How do I feel? b) Am I interested? c) Is it important? and d) Can I dothis?” may indicate an engaged student. Such an environment leads to self-efficacy which has beendefined by Bandura [15] as "how well one can execute courses of action required to deal withprospective situations". Academic achievement and self-efficacy have been empirically shown tobe related [16]-[20]. Successful learning enhances an individual’s self-efficacy [21]-[23].The objective of this work is to assess an innovative active learning environment. In

) internally wetted, (b) externally wetted, and (c) porous tipFor commercially developed thrusters or those specifically designed for flight purposes, a largenumber of emitter tips in as small an area as possible is desirable to maximize thrust density. Inthese cases, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) manufacturing techniques are beingemployed in general, with emitter tip densities up to 1600/cm2 [9]. However, it is possible toconstruct a fully functional electrospray thruster using much larger emitters that do not requireMEMS manufacturing. One of the simpler methods is to use standard blunt tip syringe needles asinternally wetted emitters.The emitted particles accelerate through small holes in the

the feasibility of electric flight with commercial aircraft. Another project isworking with Collins Aerospace and applying ADS-B technology to other aircraft such asUnmanned Aerial Systems (UASs). Both projects are examples of students working with industryexperts and working on projects that are forward thinking and engaging students to think aboutproblems that they may need to address once they have graduated from Iowa StateUniversity.AssessmentAssessment of Project Based Learning (PBL) can often be challenging. As we also use a flippedclassroom, the learning is shifted more to the students and requires a different set of assessmenttools than the more typical homework, quizzes, and tests. To accommodate the fact each project isdifferent and
