fundamental framework for the students to understand, appreciate, and relate the informationobtained in the following years of study. The course should also promote and develop the firstlevels of capability.This is consistent with a tenant in educational psychology, which states that knowledge isconstructed and incremental. Therefore, students must be educated with the expectation theenvironment will change and new methods and technologies available. This approach is directlytransferrable to the engineering profession. Design is what engineers do on a daily basis and“engages both the intellect and the imagination of the designer”.3 Engineers must not only becompetent in their technical knowledge but must more importantly be capable to apply

began to change in the 1920s as a number of the people whowould later become major names in the field of engineering, such as Stephen Timoshenko andTheodore Von Karman immigrated to America from Europe, bringing with them an emphasis onthe science and theoretical bases that support engineering practice.2 These individuals assumedpositions of power in academia (and trained a new generation of followers of this approach) andsubsequently engineering research began to be practiced and emphasized more in engineeringprograms. The approach spread to programs across the country and gradually the “shop-based”emphasis was phased out and world events such as the Second World War forced the nation tocome up with new technologies to help the United States

The final question addresses overallperceptions. Figure 5. Educational Outcomes of Space Scream ExperimentIn reviewing the results, it was not surprising to see a slightly above average perception ofdiversity in the team. Diversity, in this case, was referring to background and the team wascomprised of several majors within the field of engineering. By not having an aerospacedepartment, a diverse team for a SEDS chapter is necessity. The results of the second

Freshman seminars are general-elective classes with no prerequisites, so there was no expectation that this seminar would recruitstudents to major in aerospace engineering. However nearly all participants who entered theclass as “undecided” regarding their major reported being positively influenced by theexperience toward STEM studies in
