thecourse are that students should, upon their completion of the course, be able to:1.) Complete the preliminary design for an aircraft such that it satisfies assigned specifications2.) Design a system, component, or process that meets given requirements in aircraft systems3.) Identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems4.) Function on multi-disciplinary teams5.) Communicate and present effectively the results and consequences of their technical efforts6.) Determine what the ethical responsibilities are to themselves, to employers, and to societyThe course has a lecture component as well as the laboratory sessions.

AerospaceAbstractIncreasing the number and diversity of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics(STEM) graduates is important to our country’s continued economic growth and is an area ofnational interest as this need continues to rise. In addition to the number of STEM graduates isthe need for graduates to work effectively on teams. Diversity within engineering groups has beenshown to positively impact a team’s body of knowledge on a given topic, as well as improve thatgroup’s creativity, ethical decision-making, and ability to function as a cohesive unit. Aerospaceengineering is unique in that traditional methods of attracting more students from diversebackgrounds have been less effective than in other STEM fields, and average percentages forminority
