Objective 3 Students will be able to recognize the options for types of instructionalapproaches.. Results from a pair of questions related to types of instructional approaches theypreferred as a student and then how they are or have been teaching demonstrate that a gap doesexist between the two (Figure 2). The largest gap occurs in the areas of active learning exercisesand laboratory

This will hopefully guide thestudents to police their own practices.10 Because OEPs require the students to doindependent study on the subject and to define a unique idea using limited knowledge,another good resource is the US patent database. Because each patent must have at leastone cookbook-type recipe concerning how to implement the idea, this makes patents avaluable source for students working on OEPs. However, in the case of patents theinstructor needs to very carefully guide the students in their selection of good qualitypatents. Even though most high

contribute to understanding. It isappropriate to set aeronautical education in the context of aerospace product development forseveral reasons. First, it is what our graduates will do when they graduate. It culturally preparesthem for the activities of engineering, and excites them by satisfying their desire to perform theroles of an engineer. Secondly, it aids in teaching the skills that they will need in the workplace.If we are to teach students to communicate and work in teams, and especially to act ethically andcreatively, it is far easier to impart this understanding while working on authentic engineeringactivities. Finally, and most subtly, learning in context better supports the learning of the criticalaeronautics core competencies

We addressed these skills through articulating and modeling behaviors thatmay not, at first, seem to belong in a communication framework. For example, it might soundobvious, but we told students to bring their calendars and a notebook and pen to every meeting.We also created a form that incorporated both writing milestones and task-related milestones totrack progress and completion of task components and the entire task.

To enhance the learning experience,courses had to include hands on activities, industry projects and other non-traditionalexperiences, which emphasized skills development, like teamwork, ethics and effectivecommunication.
