Thecollaboration not only broadens the capability of what we can do, but also requires students tolearn to relate as professionals to peers, who are not necessarily friends.The SPIRIT program has evolved from experience in the Penn State Aerospace Department withan ongoing Sailplane Project 4.

Between 1990and 2000, although aerospace manufacturing employment in Connecticut dropped by 45%,productivity increased and wages for the average aerospace manufacturing worker went up 63%to $68,737. As the manufacturing workforce ages there will be a need to replace these highlyskilled & highly paid workers as well as for continuous upgrading in worker capabilities.

divide in teaching the art and science of structural design• Bridging the divide between applied mechanics and materials scienceFirst, a few words about structures and structural design are in order. A structure broadlyconstrued is any physical body that must carry loads, and hence develops stresses and strains.The primary engineering disciplines that design structures are aerospace, civil, and mechanicalengineering. Aerospace structural engineers design airplanes, rockets, satellites, and the like.Civil structural engineers design buildings, highways, and bridges. Mechanical structuralengineers design machinery, vehicles, and consumer products. From a structures perspective,there is much more in common in what aerospace, civil, and mechanical
