While the faculty place emphasis on faculty-student interaction,design experiences, and hands-on laboratory learning, the basic structure of the ABET-accreditedprogram (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) is similar to other undergraduateaerospace engineering degree programs.Students refer to the typical second-semester sophomore schedule as “the gauntlet,” whichincludes courses in dynamics, solid mechanics, fluid mechanics, and differential equations.While Statics is often thought of as

The faculty, on the other hand saw, thecourse as one without ownership. Normally the faculty member assigned to the course viewed itas a teaching overload or service course which required significant preparation and did notcontribute materially to the generation of generate potential graduate students and detracted fromresearch. In short, the recurring problem with this course, independent of who taught is was thatstudents did not like it. They saw it a an exercise in learning how to produce pretty constructiondrawings rather than a

Unlike the biomedicalsciences, engineering research and graduate work includes a wide range of activities and studentsin these programs have a wide range of career opportunities, not all of which are covered intraditional in a traditional RCR course. Therefore, in order to address the NSF mandate withcourses appropriate to engineering students, it is critical that new materials and lesson plans becreated.Unique Elements of RCR for EngineeringResearchIn the biomedical sciences, much of the research performed focuses on hypothesis-driven,laboratory or clinical research.

Ideally, here the students put into reality what had previously been developed in thedesign groups. In the laboratory, students work in small teams usually consisting of at least onemore experienced classmate acting as a leader. The students learn simple tasks, such as sanding,as well as more complex composite-material fabrication methods, such as the processing of pre-preg or

However, when large numbers of students flounder on open-endedproblems that require deeper understanding of the material, it becomes clear that the educationalprocess is not working.Cognition research2,13,15 has addressed situations such as these in which students are faced withtasks that do not have apparent meaning or logic. For students to “learn with understanding,”they need to “take time to explore underlying concepts and to generate connections to other[knowledge] they possess.”2 For several years, our teaching strategy has focused on givingstudents first-hand experiences with electric motors and balancing devices in the laboratory.

Experimental kits: The experimental kits, which contained all necessary materials for the specific experiments, were assembled by graduate students in the Nanomaterials laboratory (Figure 1). Hand-preparing the kits ensured that the participants received the correct materials for each experiment. A checklist was also made available, so the participants could inspect and verify that all materials needed were received. 3. Safety precautions: We prepared a basic laboratory safety manual and included it in the experimental kit. We did this to expound on the importance of safety and to ensure that all participants are familiar with basic

few has long been a concern in most academic and professionaldisciplines. Copyright laws, patent laws, academic honor codes, and professional ethics codes allgive evidence of the historic need to protect intellectual property (IP). In the public orcommercial arena, the victim of IP theft usually has the burden of detecting, proving, and suingor pressing charges against the violator. In the classroom or instructional laboratory, the victimsof IP theft (students) are not generally in a position to detect, prove, or prosecute the perpetrator.Academic honesty codes or honesty contracts encourage most students to fulfill their ethicalobligations, but the codes do not guarantee complete compliance, nor do they provide a means ofdetection or proof
