crossing competencies, mindset, aptitudes, and perspectives may be more valued byemployers creating a value proposition for students and the department.Having a student population with unrestricted choice has also led the department to think morestrategically about what we are offering. Sustained student interest in aerospace related electiveshave resulted in special topics courses earning permanent course numbers and consistentofferings. This in turn has resulted in the establishment of an Aerospace EngineeringConcentration which has in turn helped ME elective enrollment. Further concentrations, minors,and certificates can attract new students and retain interest in the ones we already have.Is the policy change a success? It’s difficult to say at

would love to be involved with a professorand their research team, but a lot of professors do not have research projects going on. This thenleads to a small bucket of research topics for a student to choose to work with if only a fewprofessors are conducting research. Students would love to see more research engagement withmany different topics in mind: “Especially when it comes to the research, there are not too much research going on, especially related to aerospace, or I wouldn't say aviation, but not really research related to aerospace, but it is supposed to. So, I couldn't find much resources that could be related to those directions that I want to go for. Most of the faculty's researchers is not actually

Various CURES within engineering courses have been previously described in theliterature. Most engineering CURES have been implemented within sophomore level or latercourses [4]. For Example, Mena et al. [5] designed a novel CURE implementation within a senior-level aerospace engineering course. In this model, graduate students served as research mentorsfor undergraduate students. The course initiated with a few weeks of dedicated lecture contentintended to provide a common baseline of skills. The proposed CUREs model described hereinutilizes a similar approach of initiating the semester with dedicated lecture content beforetransitioning to the research-based content. Potter et al.
