Rotating propellors and the possibility of spontaneousin-flight failure necessitate safety rules like setting minimum distances once drones are armed.These rules are detailed in safety documents created by students and enforced in the field.Flight automation software is another important topic taught by the team. To operate in a precisemanner, software is used to write flight plans that the UAVs follow without user input. Thisleaves less room for user error.

Learning Goals, Essential Project Design Elements, and Project-basedTeaching practices [12]. At the core of the BIE PBL framework are the student learning goals,which include key knowledge, understanding, and success skills. Surrounding these core learninggoals are the seven essential project design elements: 1) a challenging problem or question, 2)sustained inquiry, 3) authenticity, 4) student voice and choice, 5) reflection, 6) critique andrevision, and 7) public product. Project-based teaching practices consist of 7 elements: 1) designand plan, 2) align to standards, 3) build the culture, 4) manage activities, 5) scaffold studentlearning, 6) assess student learning, and 7) engage/coach. This research-informed PBLframework was chosen for its

project from conception to completion was only one semester. Due to thisfact, planning out the design process was a critical step for the student group to ensure they areable to stay on track. By using the engineering design process shown in Figure 1, the studentgroup was able to establish an efficient method for tackling this project. After identifying thegroup’s project requirements, the synthesis of potential solutions was initiated. The student groupproduced design alternatives for the chamber assembly which primarily differ from each other inoverall geometry.

courses areextended afternoon classes held during a laboratory period.Faculty identified two main concerns with the CEE curriculum and lab organization three yearsago. First, taking two civil engineering labs in addition to a military training lab, five core civilengineering classes, and a math class created very little flexibility for scheduling during the 3rdyear in CEE. Any student who was not perfectly on track for a four-year graduation haddifficulty planning their classes. Second, the labs only covered four of the eight core areas ofcivil engineering that were taught that year. Professors from other areas like environmental,structures, and transportation wanted an opportunity to have hands on learning. To try to solvethis problem the civil
