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
