the students when they were presented again this senior designcourse. Utilizing such materials not only reinforces these principles and skills but also providesstudents with a bigger picture of their major & curriculum and connects their earlier courses withthis, one of their last required core courses.It has been suggested in the literature that providing the students with more control over theirproject (e.g., brainstorming the project topic(s) or defining their goals) is a best practice, both togenerate and encourage student motivation and enthusiasm about the project as well as toimprove student perceptions of the course as a whole [8], [9]. Nevertheless, for this single-semester course, it is essential to have clearly defined projects

Before the spring 2020offering of the course, instructors established partnerships with local and state officials todevelop a list of local community projects. Project stakeholders were invited to present theirproject(s) to the students. Students were required to work in groups of four. Projects wereassigned based on interest, with priority given to ensuring teams were interdisciplinary.Collaboration was also established with the humanities department by having a group of theirstudents work on policy and governance related aspects of one or more of the projects.

, and positive student comments in Appendix C), instructorsmust excite students to take ownership of the questions and work independently on modeldevelopment. One way to do this is to introduce applications right from the dynamics or, fluidscourse which students regularly use or, have seen before, and prepare a mathematical modelaround it [18]. Note that the first two questions in Appendix A are attempting just that. Sincestudents would not recall the speed of sound and Mach number (M) check for incompressibility,the second question provides the value of the limiting airspeed of 102 m/s. It does give theinstructor opportunity to address the M < 0.3 limit while discussing the solutions with students.The location of stagnation points, the
