from the new curriculum are provided, giving an example showingthat students are performing at a higher level of learning with the new curriculum than with theold curriculum. Finally future work for the curriculum is presented.Integrated versus Federated CurriculumThe old flying qualities phase curriculum was a collection of federated short courses that could beshuffled and presented in a way that matched aircraft and instructor availability. The sacrifice tothis system is a synergistic effect that occurs when material is integrated tightly such that topicsare reinforced, keeping threads of learning intact throughout a curriculum. The learning thatoccurred when the curriculum was federated was often described as a “mile wide and an inchdeep

relationships among outcomes across theundergraduate curriculum in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT. Throughthis project, we expanded upon existing sets of outcomes and created new sets where nonepreviously existed to connect subjects in the undergraduate curriculum in an integratedframework.While outcomes are often presented as a list,7 this project connected outcomes by grouping themin modules and linking them in a prerequisite structure. Here, we define a module as a learningunit comprised of a set of outcomes and we define a prerequisite outcome as an outcome which astudent is required to have achieved before he or she can learn another related outcome

received his B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering from the University of Illinois, and an M.S.E. in Aerospace and Mechanical Sciences from Princeton. He has been on the faculty in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at Penn State since 1984. His research activities are analytical, experimental, and computational, and generally in the areas of aerodynamics, primarily aircraft and wind turbines, and aircraft design, flight mechanics, and stability and control. He has worked on aircraft designs with a number of companies, and has played a key role in the development of winglets for sailplanes and low-speed aircraft. He is actively involved in the American Institute of Aeronautics and

developed and calibrated Monte Carlo simulations of free-molecular aerodynamics to determine drag effects in ELEO orbits. An example of non-technicalinvolvement is business students who organized events to promote campus awareness of ELEO-Sat. Moreover, the senior capstone course involves local high school students consideringSTEM careers through outreach programming including participation in high altitude balloonprojects. Similarly, the project provides outreach opportunities to local elementary schools usingspace science curriculums developed by Taylor University elementary education majors.Working on projects like ELEO-Sat equips students from many disciplines with skills they needfor the future. Collaboration between non-capstone students
