Through that process, students gained first-hand experience around critical issues suchas support design, part warp, and overhang constraints. Tipker et al. combined 3D printing withunmanned vehicles in freshman engineering class. Students were presented with basic droneelectronics kit and were asked to design and 3D-print a suitable drone structure, assemble thedrone, and fly it [7]. Jovanovic et al. used drones to expose high school students to the use ofdrones in geospatial technology and rescue operations [8].

Our approach, as we show, has anumber of important advantages over most approaches to face-to-face collaborative learning. Wehave implemented a prototype web app, CONSIDER, based on our approach and used it in twoComputer Science and Engineering courses: a graduate level theory of programming languagescourse, and an undergrad principles of programming languages course. It was very well received,with 15 out of 22 students in the grad course, and 13 out of 21 students in the undergrad courseindicating, in a post-discussion survey, that the approach provided them a better

This definition is followed by thesentence: “Engineering Management is rapidly becoming recognized as a professionaldiscipline.” Engineering managers are distinguished from other managers by the fact that theyposses both an ability to apply engineering principles and a skill in organizing and directingtechnical projects and people in technical jobs”.
