nosewheel control system for use by pilots early in their trainingprocess. The engineering students were challenged to create specifications for a turningradius for the device. This involved investigation of how a steerable nosewheel operateson an actual airplane. Based on these specifications, the students were challenged todesign a mechanical linkage system that allows the freedom of movement to meet thesespecifications.This design project gives engineering students an opportunity to apply design principlesto a practical project. The engineering students gain an understanding of work as a team;work with the client, and the sequence and process of design. Beginning pilots using thedevice gain an enhancement of motor skills that positively transfer

to be hired, inmany fields the half-life of an engineer is five years. Faculty need to be continually exposed tothe best practices of industry. Just as their counterparts in industry, the faculty need to belifelong learners1. One of the best ways for a faculty member to maintain technical currency is tobecome involved in industrial projects as a consultant or in a school center that conducts appliedresearch. Besides keeping faculty members’ technical skills up-to-date, involvement in appliedresearch and consulting renders other benefits such as: (1) providing real-world case studies to beused in classrooms and laboratories, (2) strengthening relationships between the school andindustry which can boost corporate donations to the school and

Deep modeling is understanding how a devicefunctions, the constraints of a project, and the dynamics of effective team collaboration.

Scaffolds are instructional methods and interventionsthat are designed to foster skill development by allowing for interactions between what studentsalready know and what they have yet to learn. These workshops were designed using the tenetsof the gold standard project-based learning (PjBL). The PjBL framework is itself a scaffold thatis designed to build research competencies.Specifically, to introduce a challenging problem or question, we created multiple technicaloverviews of the cyber-physical system theme of interest that would constitute the eventualeducational modules.

design courses are typically project-based, where students work inteams to address a “customer-provided” problem and develop real working solutions. This typeof project-based learning requires that students synthesize knowledge and apply skills to anopen-ended design problem. The open-ended nature of “customer-provided” problems thatstudents encounter in capstone design courses contrasts with the structured and constrained“instructor-provided” problems seen in their earlier coursework [1], [2]. Solving complex,unstructured problems is an essential skill for a working engineer, but it requires a differentskillset than that which is needed to solve the standard textbook problems typically seen inclassrooms [2]–[6].
