Flying A Blimp A Case Study Of Project Based Hands On Engineering Education

Rowan engineering emphasizes the integration of hands-on experience and theoretic thinking in engineering education. We also understand the importance of multidisciplinary experience for the all-around development of students in society. For this purpose, we proposed and supervised a blimp project to build a computer-controlled unmanned blimp. The project provides an opportunity for the students to apply the knowledge learned in classroom to real life project under the doctrine of "design, build and test".
