issued a statement on sustainable development education thatstates in part “Engineering students should learn about sustainable development andsustainability in the general education component of the curriculum as they are preparing for themajor design experience” and that “…faculty should ask their students to consider the impacts ofdesign upon U.S. society, and upon other nations and cultures” [3]. Some engineering programshave used a national airport design competition in their education programs [4, 5]. Between 2007and 2017, over 40% of winning teams in the Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP)University Design Competition for Addressing Airport Needs were comprised of studentsenrolled in undergraduate and graduate level degree

the solid rocket engine motors,experiences of the undergraduate students who have participated in the competition and lessonslearned through this experience, and a few key projects undergoing current development. It willbe shown that these projects focus on the principles of systems engineering with highly detailedsystem/subsystem designs for rocket systems and propulsion systems. These projects have shownto offer unique opportunities for students to experience real-world challenges that are typicallyfaced by the aerospace industries on a daily basis.IntroductionIn recent years, several engineering universities have seen student-run, student designed, launchand operated high-power rocket systems and fundamental research in propulsion

haveimproved significantly, as have the team’s abilities to plan for all the milestone events andpersonnel training required of these.Benefits to UAF Activities.As a result of its participation in student-led design teams, UAF has experienced significant growthin the size and diversity of students in its the AIAA DBF team (A similar response has been notedin the university’s Alaska Space Grant Program nanosat design team). This growth has positivelyimpacted areas of academics, research, and student interest.Academics. Student participation in design team activities has had a positive effect on enrollmentin aerospace and UAS-related courses. These students have shown strong interest in participatingin similar activities, whether a capstone/graduate

demonstrate how aerospace exploration and research transcends national boundaries;• Address economic, historical, ethical, and social perspectives;• Use appropriate technologies such as modeling, simulation, and distance learning to enhance aerospace education learning experiences and investigations;• Present a balance of aeronautics, space exploration, and robotics by offering a relevant context for learning and integrating STEM core content knowledge.UAF has attempted to incorporate as many of these concepts into our fledgling aerospace courses,aerospace minor, and design team experiences as possible. This is accomplished through the useof student teams to investigate research topics, individual student-led course material presentationsand

University ofMichigan, students are required to take 41 credits of engineering science courses (32% of thetotal credits required for graduation) and only 19 credits of design and laboratory courses (14.8%of total credits). Furthermore, of the 11 current ABET Student Outcomes only one of these, a) anability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, directly speaks to thecontent of these engineering science courses [1].Despite the prominence of engineering science courses in the curriculum, these courses havebeen studied less in engineering education research than design courses [2]. Ideally, theseengineering science courses should give students the theoretical background that they can applyin engineering design courses, on student

She holds an FAA Airframe & Powerplant certificate. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2019Student Led Paper Student Perspectives on Using Hands-on Discovery Activities in a Critical Systems Thinking CourseIntroductionAt a large midwestern university, students in an aviation and aerospace engineering technologyprogram may choose to take a graduate course on Critical Systems Thinking (CST). This courseexplores the application of critical systems thinking to complex problems in aviation andaerospace industries. The course materials use systems theory textbooks and case studies thatexplore the practical applications of critical
