Paper ID #23737Teaching an Undergraduate Flight Dynamics Class for Three Semesters Dur-ing PhD Studies to Prepare for an Academic CareerMr. Dipanjan Saha, Texas A&M University Dipanjan Saha earned his Bachelors in Instrumentation Engineering and Masters in Control Systems Engi- neering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. He is now pursuing his PhD in Aerospace Engineering with Dr. John Valasek at Texas A&M University, College Station. His career goal is to be- come a professor. At Texas A&M he has served as the instructor of record for the undergraduate Flight Dynamics class in Spring 2016

His re- search interests include veterans in engineering, veterans with service-connected disability, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and human sex trafficking. c American Society for Engineering Education, 2018Background Military careers and student life have stark differences. No matter each veteran’smilitary job or experiences, a transition of this nature will be fraught with unexpected challenges.Disabled student veterans may face challenges that uniquely differentiate them from otherstudents and other veterans. Alternatively, they may find themselves better suited than others tonavigate an undergraduate

students to discuss the common “unwritten rules” ofresearch, as presented by their peers (who are actively performing research). As a result, theybegan their research careers with a better understanding of how and where to start and stayorganized. This workshop also benefitted new students’ labs, because it centralized andoutsourced the training of new graduate students. As a result, more time became available forlab-specific training by lab managers.Participating as a facilitator in this workshop presents a unique opportunity for graduate studentswho aspire to an academic career. Others have noted that completion of a Ph.D. itself does notnecessarily develop teaching and mentorship skills 9, therefore students could benefit from extrateaching

Names and locations redacted for the blind review.On the third day, the retreat began in the afternoon with a research pitch competition. Theparticipants had 3 minutes to “pitch” their research topics to senior-level graduate students andstaff from SU Career Services.

. Yeter is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the INSPIRE Research Center in the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University. He obtained his PhD in Curriculum and Instruction empha- sizing in Engineering Education and Master’s degree in Petroleum Engineering at Texas Tech University. He is highly interested in conducting research within the Engineering Education framework. Recently, he received the Early Career Researcher Award from European Science Education Research Association (ESERA) in 2017. In addition, he is one of two scholarship recipients awarded by National Association for Research in Science Teaching (NARST) to attend the ESERA summer research confer- ˇ e Budˇejovice, Czech Republic in

academic career, and (3) promotediversity and inclusion among underrepresented groups in engineering.As chapters are dependent on student interest, time and resources, most student chapters take ongoals in one, or possibly two, of these overarching areas. The structure of the chapter and itsevents center around that chosen area [2], [3]. For example, the ASEE student chapter at theOhio State University, due to member interest, shifted its focus from graduate and undergraduatesupport to K-12 outreach. Based on this shift, the chapter’s structure changed by expandingseveral officers’ roles to be more outreach focused and forming new committees to stabilize thework [3]. Like most student-driven communities, this example demonstrates how closely tied

Thework presented here codifies the successful and unsuccessful strategies that students acrossnumerous technical disciplines and from different backgrounds have used through theiracademic careers. The advice given is from a range of students at Wentworth Institute ofTechnology with a number of engineering and technical programs, gathered and analyzed bya team consisting of students, faculty, and administrators. The work serves as a guidebook forstudents, by students, in a range of rigorous programs. A survey was distributed to recent graduates and upper-level students from variousengineering and science backgrounds
