Program-level ResponsesThe Curriculum Survey Committee of the Education Division (EdDiv) of AIChE surveysinstitutions in the United States and Canada each fall on different aspects of the undergraduatecurriculum. For Fall 2021, the topic was material and energy balances (MEB). The topic wasdefined in the survey as “a material and energy balances course covers the conservation of massand energy in a chemical process context”. The survey was directed at faculty of courses inwhich this was the main topic, not a simple introduction, and not at faculty of thermodynamicscourses unless they covered balances in a chemical process context. The Committee surveyedthis topic in 1972, 1990, 1999, and 2011 [1].A link to the survey was sent to the EdDiv

correlated for the low SVS group in one cohort and moderately correlated in the other.Persistence in the training was also measured and yielded an interesting result in that the studentswith the lowest persistence in Cohort B had the highest average initial test score, yet came outwith the lowest post-training pass rate, perhaps indicating persistence is a critical factor in SVSimprovement.Future work will seek to better define measured variables such as persistence and amount oftraining with additional data, as well as to examine the effect of confounding factors such astaking a design course itself on improvement of spatial ability.IntroductionThe importance of spatial visualization skills (SVS) in engineering is well established [1], [2].The

At EWB,California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo (Cal Poly, SLO), we have intentionallyencouraged this process, with a desire to allow people to confront the difficult questionsregarding global development. This paper will outline the salient theories, frameworks, andcriticisms regarding sustainable development work and its connection to voluntourism,capitalism, and neocolonialism. Recognizing that these attempts to help others are in realitystudent-centered [1] and tend to fail the partner communities [2], we desire to investigate how tobetter center partner communities in our work [3], and describe several attempted interventionsinto our chapter that seek to center these concerns and more critically examine our efforts

the amount of electric current the system needs. This is concerning since itposes the risk of having the payload system shut down mid-flight. Additionally, this requires acontinuous supply of batteries, without any further use once the flight is done, increasing theamount of battery waste despite being initially a low-cost energy source. Furthermore, mostbatteries used for the microcontrollers in stratospheric flights are 9V, which tend to be loweredwith a voltage regulator to 5V to reduce the probability of overpowering a microcontroller such asa Teensy 3.5. Taking to consideration these conditions, four 6-volt, 2-watt “medium-sized” solar panelmodels were purchased [1], along with their respective 1.1 mm to 2.1 mm adapters. To have

Structures Education via Virtual LabsAbstractWe implemented virtual labs enabling the opportunity for visualizing 1) deformation and 2)stress in an undergraduate aerospace structures course to enhance students’ understanding of themechanic concepts. For 1) deformation, the virtual labs provide the visualization of the overallview of an aircraft, followed by the deformation of specific aircraft components (e.g., wingcomponents) under particular types of loading (e.g., bending moment, torsion, and transverseshear). We used the deformation visualization before the user-interactive portion of the virtuallabs to provide students an in-depth understanding of the virtual and hands-on lab activities fromthe viewpoint of component deformation. For 2) stress

Sensors,and Strain Gauges. To accomplish this, the current project is working towards developing thedata acquisition system required to collect this data. Due to the success of other Universities’ Data Acquisition Systems (1), it was decidedthat LabVIEW will be used. LabVIEW is advantageous for this application as it is relativelysimple to learn, therefore after the current researchers may graduate the university and futureusers to learn how it works. In addition, LabVIEW can integrate into many different systems,therefore, if multiple different DAQs must be used in order to either get more I/O ports orinterface better with different sensors, LabVIEW can handle such a task.Description of Rocket Engine Subsystems Rocket Engines are

arevisual learners [1, 2], it is widely accepted among engineering educators that physicaldemonstration (or hands-on experimental learning) enhances a student’s learning and results inlong term retention of the subject material. At Saint Louis University, every aerospace engineering student will take an aircraftcontrols course during their undergraduate study. During this course, the student will learn thecoordinate systems of an aircraft, derive the equations of motion, and develop controllers capableof achieving a desired dynamic response of the vehicle. Almost always, the first thing learned insuch a course are the coordinate systems of an airplane and how those coordinate systems relateto each other. This is a difficult concept to both

Working-class studentswere more likely to graduate than wealthier students, and working-class students also took longerto graduate and had a lower GPA at graduation. But, once again, these results were notstatistically significant.Bir & Ahn (2019) also included SES as an independent variable in their analysis of aerospacestudent outcomes, along with gender, ethnicity, first-generation status, in-state residency,measures of skills and abilities such as ACT score, and high school coursework.

Common transition initiatives include orientation programs, peer mentoring programs,common reading programs, living-learning communities, and first-year seminars [1]. Two of the mostcommon types of first-year seminars are extended orientation seminars that center transition to collegelife (e.g., time management) and introduction to the major seminars [2].

[1]. In 2010, ICAO adopted two goals: “tocontinuously improve CO2 efficiency by an average of 1.5 per cent per annum from 2009 until2020, to achieve carbon neutral growth from 2020 and to reduce its carbon emissions by 50 percent by 2050 compared to 2005 level” [2], [3]. To fulfill the ICAO projection, there are fourmain strategies: aircraft technological developments, optimization of aircraft operation plan,adopting sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), and market-based measures to promote aviationsustainability growth [2].Fuel consumption is directly related to carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) impact on theenvironment in terms of Global Warming Factor.

For aerospace engineering programs, the “major design experience,”commonly referred to as Senior Design or a Senior Capstone project, must include topicsrelevant to the program. Senior design serves as a “training ground” or “sandbox” for students toovercome the challenges they might encounter in their career but with guidance from instructors.The skills and knowledge applied in Senior Design require a comprehensive understanding ofsubject material from multiple courses over previous years. Senior Design can simulate real-lifeexperience and can provide helpful skills for students to take to their work environment afterthey graduate. From

stages of the manufacturing process. One ofthe fundamental skills is to make good decisions at early stages that facilitate, not impede, themanufacturing process down the road. Traditional curricula designs tend to focus on a specificdiscipline, creating a silo effect rather than viewing manufacturing as a connected, systemicprocess needing decisions made with respect to the entire product development life cycle. Thisstudy investigates this belief by 1) examining if students understand product manufacturing as aconnected, systemic process, 2) exploring in which manufacturing knowledge area, if any, studentsare deficient, and 3) analyzing if these knowledge gaps exist for both engineering and businessstudents. To study these possible gaps, this

aviation industries have committed to becoming more sustainable. Thechallenge is to continue carbon neutral growth past 2020 and to reduce CO2e by 50% by 2050,based on 2005 levels [1]. This challenge has been affirmed through agreements in industryorganizations such as IATA, A4A, ATAG, CAAFI, and many other similar organizations aroundthe globe [2][3]. Aerospace companies recognize improving aircraft technology as one way tocontribute their knowledge, skills, and abilities to achieving the global industry goal of reachingthe 50% reduction by 2050. To achieve these dramatic reductions, it will take global industry-wide efforts concentrating on aircraft technology, operational improvements, sustainable fuels,and market-based measures [1].
