is hard to think of any specific things I could learn or gain during the remainder of the project, but in general, there are many things to be learned from doing work.”Another student remarked: “Up to this point, I have learned that while it is important to have a team with a variety of skillsets, it is equally important that multiple members are able to verify the same data and information. This experience is one that I expect will continue to influence my interactions with engineering teams throughout my career.”Another student asserted: “I expected to grow my knowledge in commercial UAS development and research skills.”Another student added: “Further experience

differingidentities change people’s perspectives nor how to articulate that properly until late in myundergraduate career. As a white, first-generation, queer, neurodivergent woman; I am able torecognize that there are certain spaces that were built for me and others that were not. I haveworked to understand my own intersecting privileged and marginalized identities, and held a lotof anger towards institutional power structures that often fail minoritized communities. I do feelcomfortable questioning engineering culture and honestly would like to use my power andprivilege to change it to help improve the experiences of future generations of students. Aschange occurs slowly, my personal struggle involves directing my passion and energypragmatically in order

impact on its members persists even once they have graduated. One clubalumnus who now works for a leading rocket technology company has said, “Cyclone Rocketry was a veryintegral part in helping me obtain my current position, [...] and has fully prepared me for the type of workthat I am doing for [my current company] regularly.” When asked if Cyclone Rocketry affected their career,another alumnus, who was a member of the propulsion team and now works at one of the largest aircraftcorporations in the world, stated that Cyclone Rocketry “was the most valuable thing [...] in terms of gainingexperience to get the internships and job opportunities that I got in the aerospace company.” Figure 2.

appropriate balance between macroethical and technical content. Throughfacilitation experience in this and other technical courses, the research team is working toidentify a key set of skills that are particularly valuable to teach students so that they areprepared to navigate macroethical issues in their future careers. Further work will formalize thesedesired learning outcomes and the teaching methods that can be used to accomplish themthrough a conjecture mapping framework, with aims to publish these findings in the future.ReferencesABET.

a Distributed Implementation of the Entrepreneurial Mindset in an Experimental Projects CapstoneIntroductionCapstone course sequences are notorious for being too much work for too little reward. That isespecially true when the capstone sequence is an experimental projects capstone, requiringstudents to learn new knowledge in the discipline as well as learning about computer simulationand running experimental equipment. As an instructor, the goal is to have the students learn asmuch as possible to better prepare them for their careers as engineers. In addition to the standardknowledge and skillset that entails, another aspect that is vital to their success is their mindset.BackgroundEntrepreneurial MindsetThe Kern Entrepreneurial

Question statement PP1 I am confident that I want a career in Aerospace Engineering. PP2 The material in AERO 201 is interesting to me. PP3 The material in AERO 201 is difficult for me.Participants were then directed to one of two online surveys containing the two exam-formatproblems, depending on the first letter of their double letter code. Only the first problem differedbetween the two groups; the control (A) group received the gliding aircraft problem, while theexperimental (B) group received the sailboat problem. After completing the first problem,participants proceeded to the second problem, which was common between both groups andfeatured a climbing aircraft. Participants were instructed to

, experimentation, process control,and test engineering. As detailed in the Student Outcomes section above, the experiences of thestudents appear to be very positive, with many gaining a desire to explore future career opportunities inthe aerospace arena. The project also gained exposure in several press releases, furthering local andnational interest in the project, and its potential to assist various companies with their high-temperaturematerials qualifications [5][6][7].Building on the success of this initial phase of using the CHRD system to perform high temperaturematerials research, indefinite funding for further system development has been approved by WeberState University (WSU) and the Miller Advanced Research and Solutions Center (MARS) leadership

(On Question D, the Likert scale was: Horrible Idea, Bad Idea, Neutral, GoodIdea, Great Idea.) These questions were designed to reveal student perceptions of the project inrelation to this course and their career. The results from these questions were very encouraging: • Thirteen out of fourteen students thought they would be a better engineer for reading their book
