theproblems.To protect students’ identities, no confidential or personally identifiable information wascollected, including previous grades or GPA information. However, each participant wasexpected to produce several distinct records: one response for each survey, an online submissioncovering both problems, and their scratch work. All of these documents needed to be associatedwith the participant that created them. To accomplish this, a double letter code system wascreated. The first letter of the code, either A or B, indicated whether the participant was in thecontrol (A) or experimental (B) group. This distinction was not explained to the participants. Thesecond letter of the code ranged from A to Z, accommodating up to 26 participants in eachgroup

effectiveness which was about the sense of presence(Fig. 4a). This was expected as a majority of the participants experienced the lessons in a non-immersive (computer display) environment due to Covid-19 protocols. The lowest average in theimpact dimension was for Q3 for the students experiencing the math lessons. This could beattributed to the fact that it pertained to interest in the subject and since the majority of the mathstudents were in pre-calculus algebra and pre-calculus trigonometry, such a response is typical.

conducted the redesign of the UAVusing SolidWorks and Fusion360 CAD software. To make the electric UAV fly on Mars, itswingspan had to be increased from 1.5 m to 3.8 m, yet weight needed to be reduced, so its ratherbulky fuselage was reduced in volume by 2/3rd, and a light-weight carbon fiber/epoxy compositewas used for all structural components. The current electric motor and batteries seemed toprovide sufficient power. During this 3-week project, the students were able to a) learn andunderstand the basic aerodynamic theory, b) learn the differences between Earth’s and Mar’satmosphere, develop & use Excel spreadsheets, and use the FOILSIM III software. c) Theyevaluated trade-offs between gross weight, take-off speeds, air density, wing area

)One-way ANOVA: Using the data collected, an alpha of 0.05, and one-way ANOVA (assumingequal variances) test to compare means, the researchers rejected the null hypotheses (p-value<0.001) that the mean taxi-out (and taxi-in) time was same across the number of hotspotson small hub airports. Note – there were no small hub airports with 3 hotspots in the data. Taxi-out time: Using the Tukey HSD post hoc and 95% confidence, two significantly different groups (A and B) of small hub airports emerged. The mean taxi-out time was significantly different between the small hub airports in group A (0, 2, or 5 hotspots) and group B (1 or 4 hotspots). There was no significant difference within groups.

discussed above, a selection of B, C, and D motors were tested as possiblecandidates. After testing in the field, the Estes C5 motor was determined to be the best fit for thecourse. This was mainly due to its unique thrust curve (Figure 4).The thrust curve in Figure 4 displays a graph of thrust vs time. To overcome the limitations of aheavy rocket takeoff, we looked for engines with a high thrust in the beginning that would ensurea safe takeoff (if the rocket comes off the rail slowly, it is unstable). What also needs to beconsidered is the delay charge (time between thrust and parachute deployment). Afterconsidering the range of payload mass for the rocket, the optimal delay charge for all rockets wasthe best at around 3 seconds, therefore we use
