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

good work ethic can achieve success in a STEM-related field. To helpalleviate these preconceived, negative stigmas about engineering, the STEM teachers plan tospend more time informally educating their school staff about the field of engineering, that it isfor any student who is willing to work hard and dedicate themselves to it; it is not just for “reallysmart” people who are good at math.Limitations of Study/Further QuestionsThe findings of these analyses should be placed within the limitations of this study.

computing onsome fields might still be in its infancy.Like engineering, computing is a very creative process involving innovative design that isconditioned by business, economic, social, political, ethical, and technical constraints1,3 generallywithin the setting of a team structure. Therefore, one could conclude that the computingprofessional should at least be educated and trained on a comparable level as the future engineer.

As part of this course, students also learn introductory concepts related to theinner workings of the computer, such as operating systems, networks, and database systems. Thisoverview of machine architecture, software development, data organization, ethics, computersecurity, and the theory of computing is presented to introduce students to the key threads
