Thiscomplementarity suggests that an integrated approach using both paths could provide the mostcomprehensive tool for curriculum development and academic advising. The SPARQL pathensures rigorous logic-based course relationships, while the LLM path enriches this structure withsemantic context and potential relationships that traditional prerequisite structures might overlook.These complementary strengths of both approaches become particularly evident when examiningtheir applications from different user perspectives, as discussed in the following sections.6.2 Bottom

Professors arefacilitators who provide guidance to students and encourage students to think and work throughthe problem. This process has been shown to increase student motivation, allowing them to applythe knowledge learned in engineering classes, in an interactive environment. Students get a chanceto discuss concepts with each other and collaborate on projects working towards a common goal– this is also representative of a real-world project. Hadim et. al.

which the curriculum tends to focus on the science ofengineering much more than the application. The traditional design capstone sequences result inpaper designs, leaving students wanting more experiential learning. This experimental projectscapstone course sequence is an attempt to address that in a more engaging way for the studentsthan a traditional senior lab course series. Due to the research focus of the capstone, EML wasan obvious choice for improving the course sequence. The core concepts of the EM frameworkwere already in the courses, so it mainly required adjusting the terminology.ImplementationLike most capstones, AE 4510-11 already requires more work than the students wish.

To generate enthusiasm for the course, the topics chosen for each of the writingassignments were selected to be of personal and/or professional value to the students.Based on the results of student surveys, this paper documents the improved capability forstudents to present technical information and convey meaning more precisely by using a PBLapproach. This improved capability is the result of students being exposed to situational,professional and STEM-specific writing tasks. Both quantitative and qualitative results from acase

For example: Halada and Khost [9] used narrative shortstories and case studies to encourage student reflection on the interactions between engineering,technology and society. Finally, narratives put humans at the center of the story, instead oftechnical content. Stolk and Martello [10] showed that integrating a human-centered approachinto their course project increased student motivation and encouraged higher use of criticalthinking.

Aviation embodies crucial progress in human advancement. It is a cardinal component ofglobal mobility that facilitates the movement of people, essential commodities, and services andstrengthens socioeconomic links. Consequently, it has emerged as an integral part ofcontemporary society, contributing significantly to cultural interchange and the global economy. However, in recent decades, aviation has undergone steady growth. In 2025, theInternational Air Transport Association (IATA) projects that passenger demand (RevenuePassenger Kilometers) will increase by 8.0 percent [1]. Additionally, IATA predicts that for thefirst time in the history of commercial aviation service, the number of passengers is anticipatedto surpass an unprecedented
