AC 2010-2255: EXTROVERT: SYSTEM FOR LEARNING ACROSS DISCIPLINESNarayanan Komerath, Georgia Institute of Technology Professor, Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering.Marilyn Smith, Georgia Institute of Technology Associate Professor, Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering. Page 15.572.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2010 EXTROVERT: SYSTEM FOR LEARNING ACROSS DISCIPLINES ABSTRACTThe EXTROVERT project builds resources to enable engineers to solve problems cutting acrossdisciplines. The approach is to enable learners to gain confidence with the process of
reducing risk enough to trigger inspired thinking among designleaders. Perhaps, this thinking will blossom at least by the time today’s undergraduates rise todecision-making positions in industry. The paper is laid out as follows. The first part defines theissues. The second lays out an approach to address the issues. The third explores the synergywith the aerospace undergraduate curriculum and pedagogy, and the final part reports ontechnical and pedagogical results from this exploration at our institution.2.1 The ProblemThe Concorde1 and the Tupolev 1442 are famous as 1960s pioneers of an age of supersonicintercontinental travel that promised much, but ultimately did not get beyond the niche marketstage. The Tu-144 suffered a fatal crash at the
