migrators faced the sameproblems as students who dropped out of STEM majors (leavers) but chose another STEMmajor. A qualitative study [15] on students migrating to industrial engineering (IE) showedthat students left their initial engineering major because of negative experiences with facultyand classes, very low interaction with faculty, and change in career goals to an industrialengineer. The other studies which have researched migrators are quantitative [10, 13] anddescribe metrics such as major stickiness (percentage of students that enroll and subsequentlygraduate in a major) and odds of graduation in the major. Quantitative studies into whystudents drop a major cannot provide the rich description obtained from a qualitative studythat is

environment more closelyresembling the workplace. (5) Students are looking for a professional social environment thatnurtures both their professional interests and personal relationships.While many, if not all, of the above motivating factors may be readily accomplished through moretraditional academics and instructor-led design courses, the availability of these are not alwayssufficient to meet the need of the student population. Schools without an existing aerospace degreegranting program may not be able to offer formal aerospace design course opportunities due to alack of faculty and resources. Funding additional faculty, even as adjunct, can easily prove cost-prohibitive unless sponsored by a long term grant or industry partner. Even in cases

and provided topicsuggestions in alignment with what the faculty previously considered.The faculty also utilized the advisory board’s expertise to review the proposed content of a newcourse that would integrate the use of simulation with traditional lecture to provide students withan enhanced technical understanding of how the NAS and ATC works. The intention was thesame as the pilot foundation course, which is to help students make informed decisions in theirfuture jobs. The faculty also proposed to the board the idea of requiring flight students to takethis course. The majority of flight students graduating from the program would be dealing withATC their entire professional flying career. The justification of this requirement was that

Students were asked to model the airplane as a set offorces and moments, calculate the internal force on the main landing gear, and then select asuitable material and diameter for the main landing gear. In doing this modeling, we instructedstudents to size the landing gear for actual operations, which required them to model the forcesand moments on the airplane in the operational

offerprograms to their undergraduate students which encourage overseas study and internships, insome cases even providing a stipend to the students. These are excellent opportunities forfaculty members to work with talented students with the potential to enroll in graduate programsand conduct further research. In fact, a motivating factor for some students is the potential tocontribute to preliminary results which allow the faculty member to secure funding whichincludes a research assistantship to continue the same work. Thus, a pro bono internship couldbe viewed as an investment in future academic endeavors.Initially 10 students indicated acceptance of a pro bono research project based on a briefexplanation of the topic: a new design for a solar power

engineering disciplines, butnot very many recently that are specific to aerospace. How can engineering educationresearchers leverage research tools from other disciplines to conduct research in an aerospacecontext? Engineering education researchers apply research to link professional practice toclassroom practice in order to keep the classroom up-to-date or even anticipate the knowledgeand skills that engineers will need to be successful in their careers. Engineering educationresearchers also investigate how students learn, from preschool years all the way through lifelonglearning as adults. Because the uniqueness of the learner and context of learning influence eachother, researchers must pay attention to the learner, the content, and the
