An Exploratory Study of the Research Mentor Experience in a Novel Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering CourseAbstractThis study looks at the experiences of seven graduate/postdoctoral research mentors in a novelaerospace engineering course that introduced undergraduate students to research at a mid-Atlantic research University. In this course, groups of (typically) three undergraduate studentswere mentored by one graduate student. The undergraduate students worked with and were ledby these research mentors in various aerospace engineering research projects. In many cases, theundergraduate students were working on a project related to the research mentors’ theses orresearch work. Previous studies looking at the undergraduate
the use of many visual examples of actual production andexperimental aircraft. Additional discussion on the advantages of the Mystery Aircraft techniquebriefly cover topics such as applying the Dual Coded Theory of Redundancy and Reinforcementfor cognitive learning, enhancing student cultural literacy within the field of aeronauticalengineering, and support of institutional program outcomes and ABET criterion. Theeffectiveness of the technique in capturing students’ attention, generating interest, and improvingmotivation is assessed through the use of student mid-course and course-end surveys. A listingof the aircraft examples and their associated topics is also presented in the appendix.Introduction For the last two years, instructors

The user must have a paper copy of the progress report, theDBMS application open, and the spreadsheet application to create reports and graphs.The shared view of the group is to move forward with creating a desktop user-application whichwill contain the functionalities involved currently within one application. This would include dataentry, progress report generation, exporting progress reports, and data analyzation.

arise in usfeelings of disgust or distain.This approach to understanding the foundational value orientations that individuals bring to ethical issueshas had little reception within engineering. One exception was Harold Walker’s essay for the 2016 ASEEMid-Atlantic Section conference, in which he argues that some of Haidt’s “elements of morality” but notothers are privileged in “a number of engineering texts” [31]. Thus, this distinction between frameworksand foundations remains grossly understudied in the context of engineering ethics.Of course, the importing of moral foundations theory into engineering ethics brings with it somecompelling critical questions. Thinking back to what we identified above as the lines of inquiry a focus onfoundations
and evaluation. DBR parallels principles of design as we teach them in our technologyand engineering classes: “Design has its own distinct ‘things to know, ways of knowing them,and ways of finding out about them’” so it investigates “the man-made world” through“modelling, pattern-formation, [and] synthesis” toward values of “practicality, ingenuity,empathy, and a concern for ‘appropriateness’” (p. 221-222)11. DBR leverages the complexity ofeducational environments; opportunities for iteration in different contexts (to see what works,when); and product-based nature of curriculum design. We have partnered with EngineeringbyDesign (EbD), a K12 engineering curriculum provider, and seven high-school teachers in ruraland suburban Mid-Atlantic
programs at the seniorlevel. In addition, expensive and specialized optical equipment is typically not available for labsessions. This raises the demand for non-specialized engineering schools to develop effectiveeducational approaches for Optics and Photonics. At our engineering school, which is locatedwithin a very-high-research institution in the Mid-Atlantic/Northeast region of the U.S., there isone standalone senior-level optics/photonics elective course in which not all chapters from thestandard optics textbook can be covered in a single semester. Thus, what does a school such asours do to maximize undergraduate education in the growing and important area of optics andphotonics?To investigate this challenge within our school of engineering

This course was initiallytaught in a lecture hall and a series of satellite labs, centered around the space used for a unitoperations courses. Due to the first-year course’s success in achieving learning outcomes and itspositive reception by students, we have been able to design and build a combined laboratory,instructional, and maker space specifically meant to facilitate early- and mid-curriculum hands-on project-based learning. For the past three years this first-year course, and
was a two-phased event, starting with an online, capture-the-flagcompetition with the top 20 students attending the in-person portion. Students came from eightuniversities and community colleges from across the state.A significant percentage of cybersecurity jobs require security clearances. This requirement isespecially pronounced in the mid-Atlantic region: a recent survey shows that in the GreaterWashington DC area 9% of job postings require clearance [19]. Many of our industry andgovernment partners list as one of their top workforce priorities to recruit clearable, qualifiedcandidates. While we cannot directly sponsor, nor provide a student’s clearance, we can ensurethat students are informed about what a security clearance is, what the
