Not all students provided comments related to the class.Teaching Methods and AssignmentsIn addition to teaching innovation in this course, we also explored alternative methods ofinstruction. We focused on increasing student engagement in the course. One way we did thatwas to introduce the students to a variety of experiential learning methods. For example, ourcourse was taught at the same time as the on-campus farmers market, allowing us to use it as anon-campus learning laboratory. Patrons and vendors were used in

Each practice class is considered a 3 laboratory with specific learning objectives. For example, the first practice class only requires 4 the participants to present material in an organized fashion following well crafted lesson 5 objectives using clear verbal and written communication. In the second class they are required to 6 ask well formed questions and incorporate activities or techniques that appeal to different 7 learning styles. In the final class they are required to integrate active learning activities. The 8 idea is not to overwhelm them with implementing too

Though there is no current perfect solution forclearing the debris, the AFRL has decided to deploy a drag enhancing device from a satellite payloadto remove the debris.This report presents a finalized design, an Active Orbital Debris Removal (AODR) device for the 2018Air Force Research Laboratory University Design Challenge. Because the test of the AODR devicewill occur on Earth, both gravity and tropospheric conditions will have to be accounted for.Accounting for gravity will be accomplished via a hex copter which will lift the payload off the launchpedestal and deliver the payload to the rocket body. The proposed AODR device will use two cameras,a pair of stereoscopic cameras, a lidar detector

This paper examines the effects of methods that allow students in an introductory level engineering course to use their creativity and inventiveness to solve problems, an approach referred to as inquiry arousal. The approach used in this research was to modify a certain number of laboratory requirements to allow the student to apply an open-ended problem solving approach to obtain a solution. The goal of the assigned problems was to allow the student some flexibility to be creative while demonstrating fundamental mechanics. The authors obtained data and evaluated the effects of this approach through grade performance and student feedback. This paper attempts to measure the effects that
