Our proposed development ofadvanced UAS technical professionals will be grounded in Kolb’s [29] work, which provides amodel of experiential learning with four stages (i) Concrete Experience: the learner must be willingand actively involved in the experience; (ii) Reflective Observation: the learner must be able toreflect on the experience; (iii) Abstract Conceptualization: the learner must possess

Further, the industry will also be encouraged to reflect on whatthey perceive is missing from some of their current workforce as well as what their futureprojected new needs might be.

This theoretical perspective views knowledgeconstruction as arising conceptually through the dynamic construction, re-construction, andinterpretation within a social context. Furthermore, knowledge is socially reproduced andlearning takes place through participation in meaningful activities that are part of a community ofpractice [3], participation that is mutually constituted through and reflects our thinking anddiscourse skills [5].In this study, both teacher and student participants learned as active members of the school-university math and science partnership. Participation in communities of practice has been foundto be beneficial for both teacher and student learning [6], [7]. In

Minor improvements will be made to Phases 1 and 4 while major improvementswill be made to Phases 2 and 3.

By mixing voluntary problems that are morecomplex with simpler ones, students who attempt those challenges may feel a stronger sense ofaccomplishment and reward.Anecdotally, it is sometimes the experience of instructors that if a particular task is given as arequirement, (say the analysis of a 10-state process cycle in a thermodynamics course) that theassignment of that task is met with routine boredom. But assign the same task as an extra creditassignment and suddenly the task becomes an exciting challenge.

A recall test was also administered a year after, where students wereasked to recall the laboratory procedures. The students were randomly assigned to two groups.One group was asked to reflect back on the traditional laboratories, while the other was asked toreflect back on iLabs. No difference in test scores was found between the two groups, andtherefore it was concluded that iLabs are as effective, or ineffective, as traditional laboratories[32].3.1.3 Examples of virtual labsVirtual laboratories have been developed for many engineering

Twoexample quotes expressing these ideas were: “Our traditional engineering program tends to focus on technical design to the exclusion of sociocultural context. Awareness of the need to understand and reflect the needs and requirements of the client is growing, but still is infrequently taught in the classroom.” “I think many students graduate without placing a great deal of thought on these issues.
