AerospaceAbstractIncreasing the number and diversity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) graduates is important to our country’s continued economic growth and is an area ofnational interest as this need continues to rise. In addition to the number of STEM graduates isthe need for graduates to work effectively on teams. Diversity within engineering groups has beenshown to positively impact a team’s body of knowledge on a given topic, as well as improve thatgroup’s creativity, ethical decision-making, and ability to function as a cohesive unit. Aerospaceengineering is unique in that traditional methods of attracting more students from diversebackgrounds have been less effective than in other STEM fields, and average percentages forminority

demonstrate how aerospace exploration and research transcends national boundaries;• Address economic, historical, ethical, and social perspectives;• Use appropriate technologies such as modeling, simulation, and distance learning to enhance aerospace education learning experiences and investigations;• Present a balance of aeronautics, space exploration, and robotics by offering a relevant context for learning and integrating STEM core content knowledge.UAF has attempted to incorporate as many of these concepts into our fledgling aerospace courses,aerospace minor, and design team experiences as possible. This is accomplished through the useof student teams to investigate research topics, individual student-led course material presentationsand
