Students provided feedback on their laboratory teammates(distribution of work load, ability to learn/teach each other) and the work environment (availableinstrumentation, lab management by instructor). In addition, students responded to the followingquestions related to their personal growth throughout the semester:  What have you learned (big picture) as a result of participating in this lab?  In what ways, if any, has your motivation for studying AE or BE changed?  Define your major (AE or BE) in your own words.Informed consent was obtained for this study (IRB # 20150815495 EX) and placed in a sealedenvelope to be opened at the

Self-directed learning is to encourage students to learn inductively with the help of teaching systems.This method gives students more freedom to come up with a question to investigate, devise anexperimental procedure, and decide how to interpret the results.Effective, or successful, self-directed learning depends on information gathering, informationmonitor students’ processing and other cognitive activities, and in the way they react toinformation. Thus, an e-learning system is developed to provide learning content withmultimedia to the students, offer good support in asynchronous communication and informationgathering.

The Pennsylvania Stet University are compelled to modify course content to include latestinnovations in the technology. Although it is easy to modify the lecture component of thecurricula, laboratory exercises can only be done in small scales within controlled environmentwhich does not justify the expense for some of the equipment. For example, a laboratoryexercise in digital aerial photogrammetry requires an aircraft equipped with an on-board GPSreceiver, digital aerial camera and many other accessories. It is obvious that the expensesinvolved in acquiring the equipment for this exercise far exceed the financial resource of theprogram. There is therefore a need to find innovative ways to expose students to the equipment,technology, and

The first comparison was of the student evaluations for the two courses.
