The decision to change from a Quarter system toa Semester plan was driven, in a strong way, by the cooperative education division of theUniversity who responded to their cooperative education employers who had requestedthat the students spend more time-at least six months-in a full time, engineering workenvironment. The School of Engineering Technology took full advantage of

Since Page 22.879.6the first offering of the blimp course, the instructors have held informal exit interviews with each student and student team. One of the questions has always focused on future academic plans, and there are at least two populations in the course: Those that have a passion for their vehicle, and those that have other interests.

This somewhat begs the question of whether those co-op students are more likely to saythat they are going into the aerospace field because they have secured a job with the companythat they had the co-op or internship experience with. Additional data provided in the AerospaceStudent Attitudes Survey reveals that of the co-op/intern students, only 41.7% of those studentsaccepted jobs at the companies with which they had had a co-op/internship experience.

If there is existing data, then that data is accessed.Regardless of which data is used, the next step is to complete a failure latency analysis, or a faulttree. Finally, the FMEA is documented and reported.The process for developing a FMEA in ARP5580 begins with identifying when the FMEA is tobe developed and what type of FMEA is to be completed. During system design there aremultiple types of FMEA to be completed at different points of the development schedule. Duringthe conceptual design the effort is focused on planning.

There are several possible reasons for this.First, offering a minor degree is a conservative first step into plans to eventually offer a major inone of these fields. Secondly, graduates with minor degrees are more attractive to aerospaceemployers, compared to those who do not have any aerospace related qualifications (even if theyhave an engineering bachelor’s degree in another field). This becomes more important if there isa large number of aerospace industry or government employers in proximity to the academicorganization.

In the university environment, where student researchers aretypically volunteers and annual turnover is high, a careful strategy for recruiting, training,supervising, and retaining team members is critical to successfully building a small satellite.WALI’s programmatic challenges fall into three categories: (1) recruiting and retaining qualifiedstudent members, (2) training students in key technical skills, and (3) directing and supervisingstudent

Similarly, the Aeronautical Engineering program atMichigan grew from their Naval Architecture department. “An example of the pioneeringteamwork provided by Cooley and Sadler came in 1914 with the offering of aeronauticalengineering courses, following Sadler's organization of the UM Aero Club in 1911.
