Subsequently, they embarked on a comprehensive immersion into an eight-week summerresearch abroad program. At the end of the program, students had the opportunity to present theirresearch findings at an annual University of Texas system regional conference and share theiradventures while exploring their host institutions and countries.

these disciplines in integrative ways. The parallels were highlighted with the rise ofacoustical research in the 19th century, which led to the creation of laboratory-generated soundsfor experimental purposes [2]. These sounds, neatly described with mathematical formulas,allowed a systematic exploration of human acoustic perception. To study hearing, scientists tookto using sounds like electronically generated sinusoids, acoustically resonating tuning forks, andelectronic sirens [2]. This line of scientific inquiry on the effects of music and sound continues tointerest psychologists and neuroscientists in their studies on musical acoustics and itsrelationship with human memory, emotion, and language, among others [3], [4], [5].

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.
