posterIntroduction:As technology progresses, it is crucial for engineering students to develop competency incomputational problem-solving skills to succeed independent of their career path [1, 2]. Muchrecent literature has focused on development of numerical modeling into engineering classes [3-5], citing its benefits in assisting complicated problems while prioritizing software approaches thatuse analytical techniques. Such numerical approaches to problem-solving can also be beneficial asthey can be leveraged by existing knowledge that students have developed in their previouscourses, including in mathematics [6]. However, students should still understand the underlyingtheory for programs to best interpret the results and understand limitations present in the

Activities after Completion of Energy Literacy InfrastructureStudy.Young Nebraska Scientists (YNS) Summer Camp for Middle and High-School Students: A 2-day long, virtual Young Nebraska Scientist (YNS) summer camp was held in the summer of2021 with the support from NSF and Nebraska EPSCoR. The theme of the camp was chemistry,engineering and nanoscience behind renewable energy technologies. The student participants(total 10) ranged from 9th to 11th grade, comprising of 6 girls and 4 boys. We remotely connectedwith high schoolers at more than 4-h driving distance from Lincoln, NE (Grand Island, Omaha,Amherst, and North Platte).During the camp, through interactive, hands-on activities, the students were taught virtually howrenewable energy technologies

notes that the cost of maintenance and insurance arehigh and not easily recoverable from student fees. As an alternative approach, some institutionsutilize flight simulation as an education tool to enhance the aerospace engineering curriculum [5,6, 7], for training flight instructors [8], and enhance the learning experience [9]. In addition toflight simulation as a means to understand the dynamics of flight and human factors associatedwith it, some institutions also offer courses on aircraft flight test using these flight simulator tools.The Department of Aerospace Science and Technology at Politecnico di Milano (DSTA-PoliMi)has developed a unique graduate course on flight testing that focuses on hands-on experience [10].Students are required
