In the summer of 2017, 2018, and 2019, the Center for Research in Education in AdvancedTransportation Engineering Systems (CREATEs) at Rowan University hosted the National SummerTransportation Institute. The goal of this program is to provide high school students exposure totransportation engineering and other transportation-related education paths. More than 50% fromunderrepresented minority groups, including women, African Americans, and Hispanics/Latinos attendedthe two-week program. In 2017, the program was a non-residential, four-week program; 2018 was a two-week residential program and, in 2019, the program was a two-week non-residential program. In allprograms, the students explored different modes of transportation, such air, road

At a medium sized (4000-8000 undergraduate students),public, primarily undergraduate, hispanic serving 4-year institution, hour-long study sessions wereheld once per week the evening before homework was due for both a dynamics course and athermodynamics course. The courses and study sessions were led by the same instructor. The studysessions were voluntary and did not directly influence course grades, but attendance records showthat on average 17% of students attended on any given week.

The demand for technicians and technologists in the aerospaceindustry in total is not available through the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (USBLS) website(www.bls.gov). The US demand for aircraft and avionics mechanics and technicians is expectedto grow 5%, with an increase in employment of 7,300 from 2019-2029 which does not includethe replacements due to retirement or other attrition [10]. The outlook for Aerospace Engineeringand Operations Technicians is expected to grow 7%, with an increase of 800 technicians between2019-2029 [11]. The outlook for Aerospace Engineers is listed as an increase of 1900 between2019-2029 [12]. These are only a fraction of the technically demanding careers for degreedtechnologists and

maximum grade gradeResultsThe programming component of the course was setup for a weekly quiz, two mid-term exams, and afinal exam during the Spring 2020 semester. Programming assignments using robotics kits wereincorporated into one week’s schedule but was not implemented due to Covid-19. Students’performance for this semester is compared to historic performance in the figure below. As can be seenfrom the figure, the performance of students in this course far exceeded historic performance. In 2019-2020 year, due to Covid-19, some grades were listed as P as per MSU policy. These grades are countedtowards C, the least grade for the course needed to progress in the program. Other grades during thisyear included 4 NC (no
