their objectives. Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering included laboratorywork as an integral part of the course, but out-of-class team effort was required in others. Thesense of belonging to a department was seen to aid in retention not only in the department but inengineering. An early opportunity for name and face recognition was seen as important for thestudent’s identification with the college.Disadvantages were also evident in this course structure. Students interested in engineering butwho had not yet decided on a major were nonetheless asked to choose a freshman course fortheir first semester at UTA. If they later decided on a different major, the freshman course in thenew major had to be taken. Furthermore, no course provided an

Because of the number of students that must take this course,the class enrollments can be excessively large. As a result of the high enrollment a single set ofcore content-recorded lectures have been created and are available to all students

The HET is used for many modern space applications, fromstation-keeping on small satellites to long-term travel to faraway asteroids.Electric propulsion, and specifically the HET, integrates many concepts that are fundamental in anundergraduate education such as electricity and magnetism (E&M), material properties, thermalanalysis, and laboratory experimentation. However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel. As such, we present a path of feasibility for an undergraduate electric propulsion projectbuilding a small, low-power HET, both as a novel vehicle for engaging with introductory physicsconcepts and as a case study of an advanced self-directed project at the undergraduate level.In this

where some students do not have the internetbandwidth or equipment to do this effectively. As a result, the main method of challenging anypotential issues with academic integrity is to randomize the problems.In an in-person class, all students would be provided the same problems with the same numbersbut potentially in a different order along with randomized seating. However, for the online exam,students received the same problem but with variations to the loading locations and values. Thiswould still test students on the same objectives at the same level of difficulty but would deterstudents from trying to direct copy. As students were required to submit hand calculations, theinstructor was reviewed them for any unusual responses or signs of

In the study presented here, it has been assumed that one of themain reasons students have difficulty with analysis is due to insufficient effort being devotedto the integration of the engineering physics classes and the design application cl asses. Thus,it is suggested that a gap exists in most engineering curricula and it requires to be filled with adesign based analysis approach.
