The first category describes how aperson interacts with his or her environment. People who take initiative and gain energyfrom interactions are known as Extroverts (E). Introverts (I), on the other hand prefer arelatively passive role and gain energy internally. The second category describes how aperson gathers information. People who process tangible data with their senses arereferred to as Sensors (S), and persons who prefer theoretical sources of data are calledIntuitors (N).

these systems and solving as an entire system, the parametric adjustability of the sketches can also be easily calculated on the fly... The operation of these systems does require highly robust equations and smart thinking when defining relations by the user. It also requires that systems are neither under nor over defined for the system to come to a solution. This was a problem initially when setting up the relations on my chair back cutout. However by studying the system and thinking of each entities individual DOF‟s, it is often easy to find the over defining relation.”For the solid modeling portion of the project, students were enthused with the opportunity to becreative and come up with their own original designs

To evaluate if the coursemodifications ultimately impact retention rates, comparison of the retention rates of this classand future freshman classes to those of earlier graduating classes, as well as comparison to acontrol group that does not take AERO 101, is necessary. However, the initial attitudinal resultsgive encouragement that Principles of Aerospace Engineering will positively impact theretention of students to the sophomore year.References1. Taylor S.
