importance in the aerospace industry.With these points in mind, the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M Universityis but one of many in the United States that do not adequately reflect the diversity of itspopulation as a whole. Women are heavily underrepresented as undergraduate students in thismajor, comprising just 8.3% of Bachelor’s degrees awarded during the 2020-2021 academic year[4]. Ethnic minorities were similarly underrepresented during this academic year, with whitesaccounting for 67.5% of awarded Bachelor’s degrees in aerospace engineering [4]. Enrollmentfigures reported by the university in fall of 2022 reflect slightly higher representation, withwomen comprising 14.1% of students in the aerospace engineering department

programs for engineering continue to grow in popularity among schools anduniversities, the corresponding curriculum that gets delivered to students has becomeincreasingly compartmentalized to each specific discipline. This shift has occurred naturally aseducational departments desire to highlight direct applicability of their education to theirdepartment label. However, much of the knowledge and many of the skills obtained in individualfields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can be applied to variousother STEM fields. Yet, preconceived barriers between each discipline often create mental gapsin the minds of students that render their abilities to think of their education’s applicabilityoutside of the department they are
