Thiscourse was created as a part of a ‘common core’ freshmen program, and was intended to providestudents with a multi-disciplinary experience branching the aerospace engineering, electricalengineering, computer engineering, and computer science fields of study. As such, the coursewas team-taught by faculty drawn from each of the various disciplines. Each instructor wastasked with developing lecture and laboratory content which would allow students to developcross-discipline engineering design skills.This paper begins by describing the course goals and objectives as

Marete et al. (2022) identified five factors that have contributed to thecurrent gender gap in aviation and aerospace collegiate education. These are lack ofmentorship, role models, and networking opportunities; lack of effective recruitment,retention, and outreach programs in aviation colleges; lack of gender diversity in thegeneral STEM fields; gender stereotyping and traditional women’s role in society; andpersistent masculine culture in aviation and aerospace professions.
