marginalized students in the engineer­ing college, which consists of 12 disciplinary departments [1]. Our previous quantitative studyfound that students marginalized on the bases of gender, race/ethnicity, and/or household incomelevel experienced both disproportionately low representation rates and diminished outcomes. Weare interested in determining how the quantitative results are impacted by a focus specifically onaerospace engineering students.Existing research on retention of diverse students in aerospace engineering undergraduate pro­grams is scarce. General reports of demographical representation are published annually by theAmerican Society of Engineering Education [2]. Orr et al.’s 2015 study [3] was effectively thefirst study to

UnitedStates was becoming aware of the need for more NDM technologies. Further, these samestakeholders recognized that more technology would only come through increased interest andcompetence in the topic(s), recognition of its importance in a public and private capacity, and as aresult of the two, increased development of exploratory engineering. Serabian’s [7] chief wonderwas thus what role engineering education would play in advancing NDM technologies.Specifically, they asked, would engineering education practice focus on whether students coulduse the relevant technologies, rather than leave that to technicians, or would the focus be onteaching students theory that would allow them to develop new technologies? At a time in whichfunding was an issue

Once the appropriate 𝑐𝑐, 𝑠𝑠, 𝑠𝑠, 𝑟𝑟, and 𝑟𝑟 constants are created basedon the survey data, the problem above can be expressed using the following JuMP code:opt = Model()@variable(opt, x[1:n_groups, 1:n_projects], Bin)@objective(opt, Min, sum(c.*x))for i in 1:n_groups @constraint(opt, sum(x[i, :]) == 1) # constraint (3)endfor j in 1:n_projects @constraint(opt, s̲ <= s'*x[:,j] <= 𝑠𝑠̅) # constraint (4) @constraint(opt, r*x[:,j] .>= ̲r[:, j]) # constraint (5)endThe Gurobi solver was able to find optimal

mid-nineties. In contrast, AE enrollment grew till 1988 and then sharply declined. The reason forthis disparity is that while engineering went through downsizing and mergers, 1980’s was adynamic time for aerospace engineering [8]. Truly the eighties were an exciting time for AEindustry where the U.S. increased its funding in the sector to almost excessive [9]. Followingthis period of excessive spending, the sector faced huge downsizing due to the slash infunding and recession. To put it in perspective, the AE sector slashed half a million jobs from1989 to 1995 [9]. Undergraduate enrollment in AE followed similar trends to that of itsindustry. Fletcher (1998) warned that the sharp decline in enrollment in AE will have seriousconsequences on

The studentsshould be allowed to experience the systems archetypes and think for themselves whicharchetype fits best. While it would be faster and easier if students were told which archetypes arepresent in the HODA, it is important at the graduate level that the students be allowed to usehigher orders of thinking to identify the archetypes, discuss options with the class members, andpresent their evidence as to which archetypes fit best.DebriefingThe debriefing aims to inspire students to extract experience and observations related to systemsthinking from

the game would benefit from collaborationwith educators who can provide insights to a young student’s mind. Moving forward, the authors areworking with more teachers, especially those who do not have a background in aerospace, to obtainfeedback. Hopefully, approvals will be granted soon to allow students playing the game to be surveyed toobtain a richer set of feedback.AcknowledgementsSupport for this project was graciously provided by NSF project REvolutionizing Diversity OfEngineering (REDO-E) (project 1730693).References[1] Data USA: Aerospace Engineers. 2018.[2] Elam, M.
