% of all bachelor’sdegrees in engineering awarded to Black students were conferred by PWIs. Of these, 416 were inmechanical engineering, 432 in electrical engineering and 52 in aerospace engineering [17, p.100].Slaton chronicles the history and continuing legacy of racism against Black students inengineering [18]. Black students at PWIs face the particular challenge of being under representedon campus and in their classes, which can lead to stress, lower grades, isolation, and exhaustion[19]- [22]. Students in Fries-Britt and Turner’s study describe feelings of isolation andexhaustion based on the need to educate their White peers or to represent the Black experience.The participants attribute this not to hostility from their White peers, but
activities to motivate future research careersIntroductionThe potential that materials-based solutions hold for global challenges such as in biomaterials,energy, environment and aerospace is undisputed. Therefore, it is imperative to groomundergraduate engineering and science students with a broad-based materials science andengineering back-ground, in order to maintain technological leadership position of developedand developing countries in the 21st century. At Oklahoma State university (OSU), we haveestablished a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program that is based on thepremise that interdisciplinary research training including entrepreneurship is essential for acomplete research experience in Materials Science with most of the

LS-DYNA and MADYMO has advantages anddisadvantages unique to each of the packages. In LS-DYNA, only the material properties and3D geometry are required for modeling and the same model can be used to simulate various loadconditions. The disadvantage of this type of analysis is the non-availability of a standard dummydatabase and the high computational time. The former disadvantage has been overcome bycoupling with MADYMO. While in MADYMO analysis, a valid dummy database exists andalso there is a marked reduction in computational time but the seat has to be either a FEM modelor tests needs to be done to determine the kinematics joints and stiffness.1. Aerospace Seat Analysis MethodologyThe purpose of this research paper was to identify
and interviews conducted as part of a NSF-sponsored four-year multisite ethnographyin major aerospace corporations, engineering education programs, professional meetings, andother aerospace sites. At each site, ethnographic research included background research ofengineering activities, archival research, in-depth interviewing with a diversity of engineers, andparticipant observation during seminars, workshops, courses and meetings. Data has beencollected in the form of field notes, recorded interviews, pictures, literature, and hand-notes anddrawings from engineers. Recorded interviews have been transcribed into text files, coded, andanalyzed using NVIVO, a qualitative analysis software package. The full names and corporateaffiliations of

So we surveyed the faculty and found those interestedin and receptive to training at the selected time.Next we needed to provide sufficient incentives for “being available” during thistime. An internal seed money grant for $29,000 was obtained in the spring of2000 to establish a pilot CTEP program between the aerospace engineeringdepartments at Daytona and Prescott. The money would pay for the fees of thesoftware provider for training ($9,000), allow machine

Thisproblem is designed for second-year aerospace engineering students, which students work on overa three-week period. The problem statement provides information about the rocket’s apogeealtitude, information about the drogue parachute used to slow the rocket for payload deployment,the altitude of the payload deployment, and the payload’s weight. Students are also provided withrequirements specifying maximum kinetic energy at landing, maximum recovery area, andmaximum descent time. These requirements come from the NASA Student Launch Competitionfrom which this problem was derived. Students are tasked

Because there is little existing data that can be used toassess the a-k outcomes, surveys and interviews are being used to collect original data.Approximately 1400 program chairs and faculty members in more than

[15]1.2.6 Academic Research on SEMPs Academic research has contributed significantly to the development and refinement ofSEMPs. For instance, the MITRE Systems Engineering Guide offers a wealth of knowledge onbest practices and methodologies for developing effective SEMPs. [16] Additionally, theISO/IEC/IEEE 15288 standard provides a comprehensive framework for systems life cycleprocesses, which is instrumental in the development of SEMPs. [17] Furthermore, the IEEE 1220standard outlines the application and management of systems engineering processes,emphasizing the importance of aligning SEMPs with organizational goals and objectives.

Most introductory courses are textbook basedwith emphasis on analytical fluid dynamics (AFD) and problem solving with or withoutexperimental fluid dynamics (EFD). EFD used primarily to demonstrate physics with limitedconsideration of EFD methodology and uncertainty analysis (UA). CFD is seldom included. Anotable exception is the multi-media classroom developed at Worcester Polytechnic Universityfor demonstrating relationship between analytical, numerical, and experimental methods1 and thework of the authors2, as described later. Advanced level courses are usually AFD with orwithout EFD and/or CFD assignment or EFD including

If ethics is animportant educational focus for engineering, and the work of engineering relies oninterdisciplinary connections, then understanding how ethics is taken up both within and acrossthose collaborating disciplines is an important means of supporting ethics in engineering.IntroductionPerhaps one of the most common frameworks of ethics in STEM

Her interests lie in the field of aerospace structural design and vibrations, with particular emphasis on developing methodologies for combining finite element analysis and machine/deep learning for structural health monitoring and unmanned Structural inspections in the context of urban air mobility. Maria is also interested in investigating how students learning is affected by external factors, such as COVID-19 pandemic and community service. Before joining SJSU, she worked as a faculty member at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and at the University of
