Lastly, logistic regression was run todetermine to what extent return (as coded 0=did not return and 1=did return) could be predictedby semester the Makerspace was visited, first use, and major. This final analysis addressed thethird research question.ResultsFirst Use by MajorThe majority of students who visited the Makerspace during this time were mechanical (37%),electrical/computer (25%), and aerospace majors (11%). Table 1 provides a breakdown of firstuse by major and the average representation of each major within the college of engineeringfrom the same two-year period.

The proposed procedure is referred to as Gas Adsorption IndicatorMethod (GAIM). This is a relatively unknown NDT technique in the United States, but it hasbeen used for several years in the former Soviet Union, and more recently in the RussianFederation, in the Aerospace, and Power Generation industries. The educational benefits derivedfrom the inclusion of GAIM approaches in NDT Laboratory instruction are discussed. Theunderlying phenomena of the GAIM technique are explained, and graphical documentation,procedures and experimental

teams.I. IntroductionIn 1991, the National Research Council stated that "U.S. industry’s period of world dominancein product design, manufacturing innovation, process engineering, productivity and marketshare has ended" [1]. This could have been a reaction to the sluggish economy, the downsizingof engineers and reduced funding for aerospace/defense and research in the US. However, inaddressing improvements necessary to develop new national goals, the Committee on Science,Engineering and Public Policy recommended that graduate education of scientists andengineers should be broader, more flexible and cross-functional [2].For the last 5 years, Loyola Marymount University (LMU) has addressed the above challengesin graduate education by forming a
respective department in the College of Engineering, Architectureand Technology at Oklahoma State University participated. Faculty from the departments ofArchitecture, Biosystems and Agricultural Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Civil andEnvironmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering and Management,Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Technology taught the academic modules in theirrespective disciplines. Laboratory and research facilities associated with each department wereincorporated into the learning experience. Two female faculty members from Architecture andIndustrial Engineering served as co-directors of the academies.The primary tools for recruitment were personal contact with potential participants and
flightperformance can be predictably related to the full-scale aircraft’s performance. Although manycompanies have performed scaled flight-testing of Remotely Piloted Vehicles (RPV’s),published non-proprietary information about low-cost, scaled flight-testing is essentially non-existent. The focus of the project at hand, therefore, is to compare the in-flight performancecharacteristics of a 1/3-scale flying "prototype" of a Cessna 172P to the well-documented in-flight performance characteristics of a full-scale Cessna 172P. Much flight testing has beendone by the Aerospace Engineering department at ERAU, using the 172P, such that using thisaircraft as the model for determining the validity of the scaling hypotheses is consideredtechnically sound.

Evaluation of Prerequisite Skills Testing for Solid Mechanics David Lanning Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Prescott, ArizonaAbstractThe use of a prerequisite skills exam for a Solid Mechanics course in the Aerospace Engineeringdegree curriculum is evaluated. The prerequisite skills exam was implemented as a type ofmastery exam on prerequisite skills needed for successful comprehension of Solid Mechanics,allowing students multiple attempts to pass the exam for credit towards their grade in SolidMechanics. This began several semesters ago on a trial basis, and has now spread to a number ofother courses in Aerospace Engineering. Both qualitative and quantitative
