When students first start their engineering education, they often do not know what to expect in terms of the curriculum. Students are often discouraged by the rigor of freshmen theoretical courses. One of the ways to motivate them and keep them interested in engineering is to have them work on hands on projects. In this project, freshmen students designed, developed, and tested a variable pitch propeller apparatus. The apparatus was intended to become a part of the aerospace engineering laboratory that future students would use to conduct experiments. The challenges of working with freshmen engineering students are discussed and lessons learned are outlined.
