theAE industry and efforts are needed to counter this sentiment to keep students motivated topursue a career in AE.Keywords: persistence, aerospace engineering, undergraduate, career choiceProblem Definition and Literature ReviewThe Dire Requirement of AE Graduates in the WorkforceNumerous government and university level initiatives have increased the enrollment andgraduation in engineering over the past decade. These initiatives were spurred by lowpersistence in undergraduate engineering, addressing the gender gap in the workforce andundergraduate engineering, and the requirement of engineers for maintaining the status ofU.S. as a leader [1, 2]. While these initiatives have increased the overall enrollment andgraduates in engineering (figure 1

The approach also has the benefit of still allowingthe partner company to potentially directly contact a student of interest for a formal interview thatcan lead to a full-time internship, co-op experience, or a full-time position upon degree completion.The target audience for this course is primarily students in their sophomore year of engineeringand beyond due to the baseline technical experience that the students have achieved at that pointin their academic career having experienced at least one year of college and completing at

, logistics, engineering technologyIntroductionThe use of standards in the aerospace industry is widespread. Standards are used for wideranging purposes such as heat treatment of forgings or glass cleaner. Standards are also used forprocesses such as reliability tasks, including a Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). AFMEA is used throughout the product design schedule and is a tool, that if effectively employedprovides great reward to the design by reducing failures and decreasing life cycle costs.Just as engineering technology students in preparation for a career in aerospace should learn howto use other tools like an ohm meters, torque wrenches, and CAD programs, they should alsounderstand how to use process tools.

Many pedagogical tools thataim to establish connections between the engineering curriculum and industry practices havebeen investigated and implemented with varying degrees of success, such as project basedlearning (PBL) [2,3] competency based learning (CBL) [4], and inductive teaching [1]. However,adjustments to the curriculum to support these alternate pedagogical tools may still overlook theformat of the corresponding assessment items. Assessment techniques that have not beendesigned specifically to complement the course remain in a generic format that is only relevantto

Therefore, researching proactive behaviors is important for exploring how newemployees achieve successful outcomes at the workplace in order to develop trainingstrategies for their onboarding process and improve their future career success.Existing works mainly focus on new employees' proactive behaviors in the general context 1(i.e., the context includes organizations in all disciplines). However, in the context ofengineering organizations, it has not been fully explored.

implementation of unconventional aerospace concepts, mightnaturally increase diversity in the field. Furthermore, there are many factors contributing to whether or nota student may choose to pursue a STEM-related career. Research suggests that early math achievement,math self-efficacy beliefs, and early exposure to STEM-related subjects are all indicative of whetherstudents enroll in STEM majors. While math achievement is a significant indicator of a student’s interestin engineering related fields, early exposure to STEM is one of the most influential factors in whetherstudents continue to seriously pursue related fields in their later academic career.The intent of this paper is to show that early STEM exposure, along with the implementation

addition, the simulator will behoused in the Virtual Reality Center at the university so that local K-12 students can experiencethe wonder of flight, as well as some of the engineering aspects of aircraft design. Therefore, thesimulator and its interfaces must be engineered to be used as an effective flight-simulator andinclude the necessary safety parameters, yet simple enough for a non-expert to operate. One goalof this project is that through the experience of using the flight-simulator, K-12 students will bemore motivated to pursue careers in engineering disciplines.Although nearly complete, there are a few aspects of the system that need further engineeringanalysis and development. Finite element analysis will be applied to the mechanical

However, it was found that both needs could be addressed by connecting to industrypartners more fruitfully. Specifically, both stakeholders can provide to each other’s needs in theform of funding, training, and provision of career pathways to students. Having described the broadscope of engineering education as it relates to NDM teaching and learning, I now move to a morein-depth discussion of ideas.6.

Both industry andschools could benefit from partnerships that allow students to exercise their creativity becausestudents may raise questions that might otherwise be missed by industry representatives andfaculty. Furthermore, the industry might benefit as there may be minimal capital investmentswhen students carry out a project [3], given that is properly scoped and managed.Another way for students to interact with experts is to
