Instructorswho had received their PhDs relatively long ago (which is expected to be highly correlated withinstructor age and teaching experience) rated lower, except in the area of course organization.Senior lecturers consistently rated higher than full faculty, and assistant and adjunct faculty ratedlower (on two and four of the five questions, respectively). Students in engineering mechanicsand aerospace, architectural, civil, mechanical, and petroleum engineering rated their courses andinstructors higher, on average, than did electrical and chemical engineering students.

The grant aims to provide a tuition-free early higher education experience for highschool students, allowing them to fulfill 80% of the UAS certificate program’s credits duringthe summer, evenings, or weekends while they are still enrolled in high school. The FAAstrongly supports this proposal because creating a robust pipeline of skilled and diverseprofessionals is essential to maintaining the safest and most efficient aerospace system, andeducation needs to start from young adults.
