"track" is a general category of projects to which a student project may belong.Tracks are helpful for students seeking project membership in that they provide a way to look fora project in an area without knowing what the specific projects necessarily are. Tracks of projectsare generally correlated with the various concentrations and options offered through thedepartments in the Kate Gleason College of Engineering at RIT.Some of the key learning objectives of the MSD program that the projects most contribute toinclude the: (2) Ability to perform a critical analysis of requirements, engineering specifications,and the relationship between them. (3) Ability to integrate theory from a broad range of courses,laboratory exercises and co-op

programreviewed, regardless of their sex, had equal access to facilities, laboratories, research equipment,research opportunities, and programs and benefits offered by the University. Energy’s first reportcontained a great deal of anecdotal information, and the results of conversations with individuals,but little data other than the gender composition of the cohort of graduate students and faculty.The department’s second report did contain more actual data, but still skewed toward reliance onanecdotal reporting. Thus, although Energy found the institutions in compliance with the law, thelack of data and the overall content of the reports makes it difficult to determine the bases forthese findings of compliance. It appears that Energy based its findings

connecting variousconcepts and formulae”. Although Murugesan claimed that it was up to the students to overcomenot being able to think critically, Edmiston6 blames the teachers. Not only the teachers at schoolbut the first teachers a child has in their life - parents. He stated that “Children are usually nottaught to think critically by their parents, by their kindergarten teacher, by any teachers. Mostlikely, the majority of their teachers are not critical thinkers.” After several decades, we still face the same issue in our classrooms - how to teach ourstudents to be critical thinkers. This study focuses on reinforcing critical thinking skills usinghand-written homework assignments. Design/Method Engineering physics courses

to lack of prior knowledge on the topic” “I think you need to change the lectures based on the age level of the group. Because the majority of my group took chemistry, some of the material was review”To combat this, topics that would be considered “review” were always paired with an interactiveactivity to encourage engagement and discussion from the students who have already seen thetopic while still teaching the important information to those who have not.Transfer of Learning ImplementationOur approach to improving comprehension through transfer of learning was realized in threemajor ways throughout the week. One way was the design project, which will be covered inmore detail in the following section. The second was through

the educational value of this project. Not only does it provide an opportunity forinterdisciplinary engineering, it also forces each student to incorporate their piece of the projectinto the larger design and not just look at a single system in an educational vacuum. Learning towork as a part of a larger team in a long term project such as this is invaluable for an engineer’scareer as projects and designs in industry and laboratories are often multiple year collaborationsthat a single semester long class cannot adequately replicate.Aerospace Opportunities in Small Schools (Senior Author Perspective)Small universities and colleges are often limited in their ability to offer meaningful opportunitiesin systems engineering or multidisciplinary

the topic in general,they can be much more thorough in their research. This debate helps them discover and exploremuch more than they learn in the lectures. Knowing how to solder electrical components could be a worthwhile skill for constructingsome of the projects. With this in mind, a laboratory session is planned for the students about thebasics of soldering, as well as the basics of electronic devices. This aids their attaining a morepractical perspective of the theoretical concepts that they have heard. For the practice session,each of the students and teachers is given a soldering kit containing instructions and materials tobuild a basic 555 timer circuit. This practical work is fun and interesting, given the fact that theyall have
