Participation in the ACRP University AirportDesign Competition serves as a transformative experience, enabling students to recognize andharness these inherent community cultural wealth, such as aspirational capital, navigationalcapital, resistant capital, and social capital. This recognition not only bolsters their confidencebut also bridges the gaps in their academic proficiency.This paper presents the design and implementation of the course, highlighting how it enablesstudents to apply classroom theory and their practical work experiences to the project to solvereal-world problems. The changes made by the instructor to address the diverse situations andneeds of our students is

project is open-ended and requires the students to make a series ofassumptions, depending on the data available, to complete their technical analyses. Further, thestudents must deliver their analyses through technical memoranda, reports, and presentations.This course structure follows Wiggins’ framework for authentic assessments [1, 2].The objectives of the present work-in-progress study are to assess the impact that interacting withmuseums has on the technical and professional development of the students. Two cohorts ofstudents are studied, the first cohort is currently (2022-2023 academic year) taking the aerospacestructures courses at Clarkson University, while the second cohort took the courses during the2021-2022 academic year.

Therefore, these engaging, accessible, and affordable courses and challenge problemshave been and will continue to be developed to reach more students throughout the state, and inthe future, the country.SLI’s goal is to increase the number of students and enhance the education of students pursuingcareers in space. The objective is to create an integrated set of educational resources, implementthem strategically in undergraduate classrooms, K-12 classrooms, outreach events, andworkshops, and assess their efficacy in achieving our goal. The public benefit of the project isexpanded opportunities, materials, and resources for enhancing K-12, undergraduate,teacher/professor, and public knowledge and understanding of space science and

engineering is continuously developing anddemands a workforce of engineers with the competency to perform across nations [2], [3]. For an engineer to achieveglobal competency, they must be able to work effectively with people who define problems and whose approach towardsfinding a solution to these problems are different than oneself [4]. Researchers have been challenged to define what makes aglobally competent engineer and what attributes an exemplary global engineer would encompass [2], [5]–[8]. In summary,a global engineer must demonstrate competency in technical, global, and professional aspects. Technical competency isachieved by demonstrating knowledge of the engineering science fundamentals, project management skills, and innovation [5].Global

that orbital debris is an issue, butconflict starts when deciding who should do what to solve the problem [16]. The lesson wasdesigned to introduce students to the exploration of macroethics without pushing them to a‘panic zone’ in which they would disengage and shut down [17]. Future lessons will build ontheir confidence by presenting more disputed topics.A table outlining the agenda of the 80-minute macroethics lesson is provided in Appendix A.While students walked into the classroom (a large lecture hall with stadium-like seating anddesks), we presented what we called the “hook.” We projected a paragraph-long issue brief on1 The authors note that they learned post-lesson and wish to help educate others that “stakeholders” is not

the world. Developments overthe past decade have focused on sustainable long-distance aviation technologies, urban airmobility, low-cost access to space, and the commercialization of human spaceflight, to name buta few. These and other projects continue to demand talented engineers to support their researchand development. The NSF REDO-E grant supporting this study identifies several ways in whichdiversity in engineering consistently yields improvements across many facets of the discipline.Groups with higher diversity consistently demonstrate improved overall performance [1] as wellas improved understanding of relevant subject matter [2]. Such groups are also more adept atmaking ethical decisions [3], which is of especially critical

In their 2023 report, Boeing projected that overthe next 20 years, 649,000 new pilots, 690,000 new maintenance technicians, and 938,000 newcabin crew members will be needed to meet global demand [13]. Recent industry developmentsinclude new airlines being announced in emerging economies and a proliferation of companiespursuing urban air mobility, among other initiatives. Talent acquisition and management isessential to support these enterprises. In their 2018 reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Congressmandated an advisory
