aerospace industry. The project was assigned to a team of graduatestudents to devise an engineering solution while advised by a faculty. Due to the difficulty andexpense required in obtaining commercial aircraft equipment and working in a commercialaerospace setting, the project was distilled to a simpler version in which the object of analysiswas a simple cantilever beam. This allowed the students to navigate the same fundamentalchallenges present in traditional aerospace settings on a much more manageable scale. Theprocess and skills required in completing the project can be directly transferred to industry. Toaccomplish this project, the following phases were implemented:- Experimentation: The experimental set-up included a simple cantilever

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
