project is open-ended and requires the students to make a series ofassumptions, depending on the data available, to complete their technical analyses. Further, thestudents must deliver their analyses through technical memoranda, reports, and presentations.This course structure follows Wiggins’ framework for authentic assessments [1, 2].The objectives of the present work-in-progress study are to assess the impact that interacting withmuseums has on the technical and professional development of the students. Two cohorts ofstudents are studied, the first cohort is currently (2022-2023 academic year) taking the aerospacestructures courses at Clarkson University, while the second cohort took the courses during the2021-2022 academic year.

. In this project the students use the two software tools as computational windtunnels where they study different angles of attack and flow conditions. Upon completion oftheir analysis, the students then compare their result with each method and with the knownNACA Handbook values. This project thus provides a means for the students to synthesize thetheory and concepts about aerodynamics taught in the first half of an introductory aerospacecourse by using a computational wind tunnel.introductionIn Fall 2014, as a newly hired professor at the University of Denver in the Mechanical andMaterials Engineering Department, I was given the opportunity to create new technical electivesfor our undergraduate students.

The club won the title of Newcomer Club of the Year in2017, received the Iowa State Outstanding Achievement Award, and amassed over 100 active members tobecome the largest engineering club on campus. The club operates on a yearly design cycle, culminating inmanufacturing a sounding rocket for the Spaceport America Cup competition in Las Cruces, New Mexico(see figure 1).Figure 1. Cyclone Rocketry’s rocket “Nova Somnium” lifting off at the 2019 Spaceport America Cup Competition.The club was founded in 2017. Several engineering students desired a rocket group on campus that was notconstrained to particular projects or competitions, and these dedicated undergraduates laid the groundworkfor a new rocketry club that would choose a

Therefore, these engaging, accessible, and affordable courses and challenge problemshave been and will continue to be developed to reach more students throughout the state, and inthe future, the country.SLI’s goal is to increase the number of students and enhance the education of students pursuingcareers in space. The objective is to create an integrated set of educational resources, implementthem strategically in undergraduate classrooms, K-12 classrooms, outreach events, andworkshops, and assess their efficacy in achieving our goal. The public benefit of the project isexpanded opportunities, materials, and resources for enhancing K-12, undergraduate,teacher/professor, and public knowledge and understanding of space science and

engineering is continuously developing anddemands a workforce of engineers with the competency to perform across nations [2], [3]. For an engineer to achieveglobal competency, they must be able to work effectively with people who define problems and whose approach towardsfinding a solution to these problems are different than oneself [4]. Researchers have been challenged to define what makes aglobally competent engineer and what attributes an exemplary global engineer would encompass [2], [5]–[8]. In summary,a global engineer must demonstrate competency in technical, global, and professional aspects. Technical competency isachieved by demonstrating knowledge of the engineering science fundamentals, project management skills, and innovation [5].Global

that orbital debris is an issue, butconflict starts when deciding who should do what to solve the problem [16]. The lesson wasdesigned to introduce students to the exploration of macroethics without pushing them to a‘panic zone’ in which they would disengage and shut down [17]. Future lessons will build ontheir confidence by presenting more disputed topics.A table outlining the agenda of the 80-minute macroethics lesson is provided in Appendix A.While students walked into the classroom (a large lecture hall with stadium-like seating anddesks), we presented what we called the “hook.” We projected a paragraph-long issue brief on1 The authors note that they learned post-lesson and wish to help educate others that “stakeholders” is not
the world. Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical

After conducting research on hydrofoil design [4], the authors chose a forwardsurface-piercing hydrofoil paired with an aft fully-submerged hydrofoil with half of the lateralplanar projected surface area as the forward foil. Studies yielded an optimal 5° incident angle ofattack for the chosen NACA 4412 airfoil [5]. These design decisions can be seen in the forwardand aft CAD sections illustrated in Figure. 1 below.
