. These objectives were accomplishedin an introductory environmental science course using multiple-choice questions focused on key conceptsat the end of 12 selected lectures. Three class sections (n = 48) answered the questions with clickers,while three sections (n = 48) answered by hand raising. Long-term concept retention was evaluated bylinking exam question performance to these questions. We hypothesized that the anonymity offered bythe clickers allowed each student to respond without feeling indirect pressure from peers to select aspecific answer. Approximately 74.0% of the clicker population and 86.9% of the hand-raisingpopulation answered correctly. This illustrated that a lack of anonymity can greatly skew results byallowing a few

This is understandable, given theunique environment in which spacecraft operate; however, there are several facilities which couldfill this role, some of which are already in place at universities with a strong space emphasis. Thepurpose of this paper is to describe some of these facilities and their uses in teaching undergraduateastronautics.We begin by describing the topics in astronautics that are distinct from other topics in aerospaceengineering. We then describe a variety of field exercises and laboratories that can be used toenrich the teaching of astronautics.

Research has shown that ACL and PBL allow forhigher critical thinking, reasoning, achievement, and retention in students. In addition, becauseACL and PBL typically require teamwork, communication, and tolerance for ambiguity amongother aspects, they are also an ideal vehicle for instilling the attributes of the entrepreneurialmindset in students.Lawrence Technological University implemented a six year process to modify 75% of thecourses in the engineering curriculum to include ACL and PBL.

Whether it be controls, vibrations,heat transfer, biomechanics, or a concentrated list of technical subjects, our students are carefullyprepared for life in the technical world. The issue with stopping in our teaching at this list is thatwe do not provide our students with experiences that aim to bring them into contact with areasthat may make their lives both interesting and instructive.

international exposure as part of their preparation forprofessional practice has become firmly enough established that there is now a track record ofinnovative programs from which to derive best practices and models for program enhancement.This paper suggests that the international experience, if carefully shaped, can be made tocounterbalance the most prominent limitations and misconceptions of students stemming fromtheir original culture and social backgrounds. There is no one global model of internationalexperience that serves the best interests of all students and the profession: in fact engineeringeducators would do well to think as carefully about the social and intellectual needs of theirstudents as they do about the development of their
