careers, and I saw an astronaut, and I asked my teacher „how do you get to be an astronaut?‟ So it was kind of this whole evolution into, well, you know, I want to be an astronaut, and then, you know, well, I want to go into aerospace engineering, and now I am just really interested in mechanical engineering. (95:4) I chose engineering because I‟ve always enjoyed math classes and they‟ve always come very easily to me… In high school I was in the pre-med program which was heavy in math and science classes so I‟ve always taken those, and now they are easier for me to do than the arts. I received a scholarship in my last summer where I got a mentor and he was an engineer, and living across the street

The lower division class is Dynamics which is a required class in the Civil,Mechanical and Aerospace engineering undergraduate degree programs. Since this course islower division and is required in three degree programs within the school of engineering, thecourse typically has very high enrollments (300-350) and often fills up due to a lack of availableseats in the physical classroom. The course covers kinetics and dynamics of particles and rigidbodies using Newton-Euler, Work/Energy, and Impulse/Momentum methods.

Is the reason that most students take 5 years to graduate due to their involvement in significant and valuable extra-curricular activities, such as the co-op program, internships, study or work abroad? Or is it primarily due to their struggle in coursework, i.e. having to repeat courses multiple times to pass and complete their degrees; or, to switching majors multiple times while still remaining in engineering (for example, switching from aerospace engineering to industrial engineering, whose curricula differ quite a bit after the freshman year)?2.

For example, instead oftreating the completion of prototypes as the final milestone of capstone projects, students need toput time and resources to reasonably test their prototypes and reflect on the quality of theirdesign solutions. Second, as we limit the number of design stages to three, the same designprocess can be flexibly applied to a wide range of design topics (e.g., aerospace projects,sustainability projects).Yet, we want to note that these design stages are defined at their most general levels, and they areopen to further refinements for design learning.
