The course design allows students to feel adequately prepared to tackle the relativelycomplex design space associated with scale model rockets as well as give them ampleopportunities to practice project management, data analysis, and technical writing skills. Using alongitudinal survey, students report that they valued such a deep design experience early in theiracademic career, felt more prepared for later courses in the curriculum, and were better able totackle future complex design challenges in their senior capstone.Introduction This paper details the design and use of as design/build fly (DBF) experience as a semester-long activity to develop

The effectivenessof collaborative learning compared with individual learning has been established in other studies.In a meta-analysis of 168 studies, Johnson et al. [7] found that collaborative learning activitiesimproved academic achievement, quality of interpersonal interaction, improved self-esteem, andimproved perceptions of greater social support.

Manystudents new to college report that they don’t know how to study and prepare for college exams[3], anecdotally reporting that in high school it was sufficient to simply read over notes.
