and figure 2), including the percentage of womengraduates (figure 3), there is a shortage of engineering graduates required only in certainindustries where foreign nationals cannot be hired and require a security clearance [3]. Onesuch industry facing imminent shortage of graduates in its workforce is aerospaceengineering (AE).The U.S. Department of Labor Statistics (2019) estimates the employment growth of AE at 7% for the next decade which is at par with other occupations. The growth in the sector isprimarily based on high-end technology jobs such as computational fluid dynamics testingand redesigning aircrafts for better efficiency. Predicting employment growth tends to beconservative. For example, the predicted employment numbers in AE

Paper ID #34149Redefining Assessment Formats to Replicate Real-world AerospaceEngineering ApplicationsDr. Amelia Greig, University of Texas at El Paso Dr. Amelia Greig has degrees in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, and Science from the Univer- sity of Adelaide, and a PhD in Physics from the Australian National University. She currently leads the small satellite and propulsion research activities at the University of Texas at El Paso as part of the Center for Space Exploration and Technology Research (cSETR). Dr. Greig has been interested in engineer- ing education research since learning how effective humor can
a highlevel of technological competitiveness with other world nations [4]. 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

academic organizations.Also, a comparison was made between minors offered by organizations that also offer higherdegree programs to those that do not. Minor degree programs in UAS are also compared. Theseprograms thread the boundary between aviation and engineering topics. Although UAS minorprograms vary greatly between organizations, analysis reveals some commonalities. It is hopedthat this article will serve as a guide to academic organizations desiring to start a new minor degreeprogram or expand upon their existing one with the addition of a minor.List of Abbreviations and Acronyms ABET Accreditation Board of Engineering and Intro Introduction Technology AE Aerospace Engineering Lab
