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

to analyzing the Nomad, an airplane in the atrium of ouraerospace building [14]. And second, to encourage self-assessment of their models, we gavestudents an entire class meeting to discuss their models in a small group of four.In W19 OEMP 1, students were given a model of the airplane’s landing gear that considered themain landing gear as two-force members. 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

Engineering and Mines (CEM)[4]has enthusiastically begun the process of infusing UAS and aerospace materials into the curriculum,this year initiating an aerospace engineering minor and developing numerous aerospace courses andresearch opportunities for seniors/graduate students. One such course incorporates the application ofUAS SEDP to satisfy operational needs of UAF’s Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft SystemsIntegration (ACUASI)[2] and associated research mission requirements.Aerospace Systems Engineering is a new multidisciplinary course intended to give students practicalexperience in aerospace engineering, specifically by providing new opportunities to learn about UAS.The students learn first-hand about systems acquisition and the SEDP by

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
