As mentioned earlier, the strong and consistent student demand foraerospace education opportunities, particularly over the last decade, eventually led UAF to initiate anew Aerospace Engineering bachelor’s degree program (beginning fall semester 2023). Though in itsinfancy, this program has already been well received

metalforming, hand tool operations, manual assembly, and acquire familiarity with laboratory testingas a means of design validation. The semester-long project allows students to improve theirteamwork and communication skills.Thin-walled structures play a key role in the design of modern aircraft [8]. Components such aswings and fuselage are designed to reduce as much of the structural weight as possible, thus,making compression-induced instability and failure a major design criterion. Buckling refers to astructural instability caused by a sudden out-of-plane deflection when the applied load places allor part of a structural member’s cross-section under compression [9]. To prevent buckling, thethin skins of aerospace structures are supported or

Beginning in May2023, the teams commenced work on the project. A laboratory / project space was established in theNoorda Building on the WSU main campus where the CHRD development team began development ofthe enhanced instrumentation and control suite as well as various design and functional upgrades to therocket motor hardware. The materials development team worked in conjunction with the engineeringand technical staff at MARS, located approximately 10 miles from the WSU main campus, to produce therequired test articles.

the fact that throughout thecourse, student attendance was excellent. During the class, students consistently maintained eyecontact with the instructor because they were engaged in the presentation of the material.Students very much liked the course content and the way in which it was presented, but probablyvery few students could put into words why they liked the pedagogy used in Aero TWC. Theanswer as to why the course content was well received is that the teaching of the course wasdone in such a manner that every class had features of the presentation style that appealed totheir various learning styles.Also, during the academic year 2022-2023, the Aero TWC instructor was a Teaching Assistant(TA) for an Aerospace laboratory course (which
