undergraduate aerospace curriculum enables the fresh-out engineer to be moreeffective in the workforce. The benefits of this program extend beyond just graduates from theinstitution where the materials were first introduced, but help numerous graduates from otherinstitutions that adopt the systems engineering curriculum. Although it takes years of experienceand exposure to space missions and the relevant disciplines to truly be a competent systemsengineer, being aware of the discipline at the start in one’s career can only benefit the aerospaceworkforce in general. As the most recent NASA Administrator, Michael Griffin, stated in aspeech to engineering educators: “System engineering is a holistic, integrative discipline, wherein the

workshop.- Student topics. This activity was rated as highly rewarding by students. Most of the students (undergraduate and many graduate) had not yet had an opportunity in their academic career to organize and lead a classroom discussion. Feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive. Students appreciated the opportunity to work through the process of organizing and leading a facilitated discussion and noted the boost in confidence this activity provided them for general public speaking skills. Students also noted value in the expectation that they were to provide questions of other student presentations. Students liked having the limits of a 30- minute period for the presentation and Q&A with a buffer for the instructor to fill

studies have shown when undergraduate students are able to combine the fundamentaleducation they get in class with complemented research experience; students have flourished [2,3, 4]. The development of leaders follows the typical hierarchy; the upper classmen typically fillthe leadership positions, while the lower classmen and less experienced members are mentoredwhile working on the projects. This process provides opportunity to develop good leadershipskills and excellent communication skills, experiences that are required and strongly applicableto building a successful career in the aerospace industry [5].Mission of Rocket Propulsion LabSaint Louis University’s Rocket Propulsion Laboratory (RPL) is a Student Organizationinvolved in the

In the Moon Ball student leader report, a summaryof lessons learned illustrates the effectiveness of the activities as a way to learn CST: “The feedback from the participants indicated that many lessons were learned from the Moon Ball game. Routines and procedures are important so people know what to expect, and are therefore more likely to be successful. Good discussion and planning helps progress, and working with a group is helpful for new ideas. It is difficult to work within an interdependent system because

we analyze these five students’ thought processes as they completed theOEMPs [11]. Here, we examine only what they thought about the problems, and find fourthemes: 1) The OEMPs related to the real world, 2) the OEMPs helped to teach course concepts,3) the OEMPs were fun, and 4) the OEMPs made the students think.Two students discussed how they thought the OEMPs were a good addition to the coursebecause they showed how the material applied to the real world and required them to practiceskills they would need for their engineering careers. Broderick remarked twice that he “thoughtthese problems were really good real world applications.” Henry described how the OEMPsprovided more real world practice than a standard problem: You start out

Students would have liked the opportunity to learn at their own pace and to havetime to experiment with the technology. This could be fixed by giving students their ownlicenses to Fusion360 and the PocketNC simulator so they can work from home.

In addition, thecenter has benefitted directly from the student’s computer communications expertise as anintern and then as an employee on several important grants and other sponsored work.Clearly, this (now former) student has also benefitted personally and professionally fromparticipating in the aerospace opportunities afforded him at the school. He has gone on to apromising technical engineering career and I fully expect that his love for learning andteaching will eventually find its way back to some university in the future. Such skillsets canbe developed and nurtured through our programs, even when these are

It becomes the student’s responsibility to conduct research,develop a plan of action, and collaborate within a team. This approach helps discover naturaltalent, applies and expands on classroom knowledge, and may help launch a career in aerospaceor engineering based on that discovery.MethodsStudents were initially surveyed solely to gauge project interest based on academic major andpersonal preference.

This was most succinctly stated by Stephen who responded to a question aboutwhether he approaches projects the same way at the beginning of his career versus where he wasnow by simply stating “No. Again it’s a learned experience.” The participants explained thatthere were five main

, and teaching- focused culture at our institution make it very challenging to perform fundamental research. Mentoring undergraduate students in research during the summers takes away a considerable amount of time that could have been used for fundamental research. On the other hand, undergraduate research is very valuable for improving one's teaching career. For example the undergraduate research activities allow the faculty to learn modern technology and modern problems that eventually trickle down into the classrooms. Being in the business of teaching, undergraduate research can be looked upon as teaching students the skills and knowledge on how to conduct research. These skills will most likely benefit

Thus, it is criticalto examine how to better incorporate stakeholder requirements and context considerations earlyand throughout the design process.In the final year of most undergraduate curriculum, aerospace engineering students participate ina senior (also known as capstone) design course, which aims to provide an authentic designexperience for the students and to prepare them to overcome design-related challenges duringtheir careers.

On May 26, 1936 the school paper reported on Kirsten’s “Guess your gradeand take no exams” policy. The “student choice” grading system started in the fall of 1935 andworked by allowing students to guess their grade to opt out of the grueling three-hour final exam.If their own estimates agreed with Kirsten, they did not have to take the final. “So far”, Kristensaid, “I have agreed with one
