faculty converged on the final AerospaceEngineering Curriculum informed by benchmarking against peer institutions. It will explore howthe fledgling department will leverage both new aerospace engineering courses and existingmechanical engineering courses for curriculum and faculty optimization. The desired end state isa program that both satisfies ABET Accreditation requirements and maximizes high-qualityinstruction with projects-based, hands-on learning leveraging flight laboratories in thedepartment’s aircraft, a new wind tunnel (under construction), summer internships with DoD andindustry partners, and culminating in a sponsored capstone design project.Key words: Aerospace Engineering, education, curriculum development, program

Center's expansion was not universally well-received during its creation, and methodsused by the government to acquire land were discussed. Parallels were then drawn with thedeveloping spaceport in Biak, Indonesia, with the region's history of military violence andintimidation negatively impacting resident perception of the spaceport (Adinda, 2023). Finally,the failure of the spaceport in the university’s host state of Michigan was discussed as anexample of how communities are able to actively resist unwanted technical developments (Ledy,2023).Course Final ReportFor their capstone design project, students were tasked with developing a cislunar space systemof their choice. As part of this, students applied this same rightsholder analysis process to

leadership and has already resulted in offersof student internship programs by federal agencies.This course follows the path of previous highly successful rocket design/launch programs (eg, theUSAF Academy). Support for this course is high, both among student groups and university faculty andleadership. This course is already supported by various academic departments and student groups,including one mechanical engineering senior capstone team which designed a portable launch rail fortheir senior design project. The course is also being examined as one possible multidisciplinary seniordesign project which can satisfy various other department capstone requirements. Additionally, thecourse has sparked student interest in forming a design club
