The educational construction of the senior capstone coursebrought the students a greater understanding of the unique challenges posed by a rocketsystem and the relative lack of coursework dedicated to these challenges.

However, as the President’sCouncil of Advisors on Science and Technology reported, the United States’ ability to addressengineering challenges in the future parallels the country’s ability to produce enough engineerswith the capabilities necessary to solve those challenges [4]–[6]. Noting the importance that NDMhave in meeting grand challenges, it is thus worth exploring the role of engineering education inproducing engineers with the necessary capability to use and build upon NDM knowledge oftheory and practice.2. The Role of Engineering Education in NDMWhile some NDM do not require any formal training, such as simple visual inspection, many othermore complicated
