Spring semester?” Participantswere asked whether feelings of “math anxiety” or “technophobia” changed after the experience.62 percent indicated such feelings were lessened, and 38 percent went further to indicate theexperience had increased their enthusiasm for technology. The final question addresses overallperceptions. Figure 5. Educational Outcomes of Space Scream ExperimentIn reviewing the results, it was not surprising to see a slightly above average perception ofdiversity in the team. Diversity, in this case, was referring to background and the team wascomprised of several majors within the field of engineering. By not having an aerospacedepartment, a diverse team for a SEDS chapter is necessity. The results of the second

Freshman seminars are general-elective classes with no prerequisites, so there was no expectation that this seminar would recruitstudents to major in aerospace engineering. However nearly all participants who entered theclass as “undecided” regarding their major reported being positively influenced by theexperience toward STEM studies in
