much a part of what motivates many of our first-year students. By the time the professor sees the same students again in the 3rd year, there is acompletely different look on their faces, a look of being crushed by the weight of the “realities”that we teach so thoroughly in our curricula.What happened to the grand dreams? This paper takes the position that the dreamer still has aplace in aerospace engineering, and lays out examples of projects and course ideas/experiencesto tap the potential tied up in those brains. It is very much part of the mission of a university toconvey this inspiration to dream, the environment to do so, including the scientific, moral and

that synchronous courses beoffered at particular times (partner requests). Efforts were made to create long-term (2 to 3 year)schedules which provided the DL student with information about course future offerings.Furthermore, as DL programs became more popular at the university, access to a limited numberof DL classrooms (university controlled) became competitive. The department, and oureducational partners developed asynchronous classes which alleviated the time requirement, andallowed students who were on extended deployments to remain in the program. Furthermore, weused well-qualified adjunct faculty to teach courses pertinent to the degree. Many of thesefaculty were Ph.D.’s or MD’s employed by our partner, which allowed some of the courses

implement computer design in hardware 1.However, this project is unique for several reasons. First, students are given creativity to designtheir own instruction sets rather than use a preexisting one. Second, unlike similar projects atother universities, the project requires no specialized hardware or software. Third, the projectdoes not require students to know any particular background knowledge before the course apartfrom basic programming, a typical prerequisite for computer organization courses. Fourth, byrequiring students to simulate and evaluate their processors, the project teaches how realprocessor research and evaluation are performed.In Section 2 of this paper, we describe the student populations for which this project was

ApproachThe approach used for assessment is adapted from our physics program. The purpose ofassessment is to determine what the students have actually learned, not what they know. Thisinformation is not used to assign grades to the students (although the post test is also used as asummative assessment tool, i.e. a quiz). Instead, this information is used to evaluate studentlearning and professor teaching. It is used to change both what we teach and how we teach it.In our lower division physics courses, these data are obtained by administering pre-tests and posttests to our students. At the beginning of each term, students are given a major pre-test looking atconcepts (not math skills) taught during that term. At the end of the term, they receive the

These findings have had a major impact on the revision of nationalaccreditation criteria for engineering programs [3]. The engineering education paradigm hasshifted to not being “what is taught” to “what is being learnt”through program educationalobjectives and student learning outcomes [4]. These developments in industry needs andaccreditation criteria have necessitated the need of changing the focus of delivery of engineeringeducation to more hands-on student-centered teaching and learning methodologies in contrastwith mostly static and one-way lecture-based teaching.Engineering Design and Project Based LearningThe primary goal of engineering curriculum is to prepare
