to provide students with ahigh quality and practical advanced manufacturing education that enable them to excel both intheir professional careers and in their continued education. The educational mission of theprogram can thus be summarized as follows:  Provide students with a strong foundation in Computer-Aided Design and Computer- Aided Manufacturing.  Provide students with a strong foundation in composite manufacturing, inspection, and repair.  Provide student with a strong foundation in understanding UAS design process, capabilities and its application for a wide range of uses (business, scientific, and security).  Provide students with knowledge and experience in analytical

lure of high salaries from the expansive local industry pulls most of our students away fromgraduate school. The average starting salary for the most recent graduates with a B.S. in chemicalengineering from LSU was ~$76,000 per year. We believe this is one reason less than 3% of ourstudents enroll in graduate programs. This (low level) graduate school enrollment trend is similarfor other regional institutions. In the last decade we have had only moderate success at recruitingengineering, physics, and chemistry undergraduates from these regional schools to enroll in aSTEM Ph.D. program. This REU program exposes students to exciting graduate research andincreases interest in career paths made possible through graduate degrees. This is a benefit

This may account for the drop inaverage from 4.3 in 2016 to 3.1 in 2017.One of the outcomes that the new school of engineering hopes to achieve is to helpstudents identify as an engineer. This course appears to be helping with this goal with anaverage of 4.2 in 2017. Unfortunately this question was not asked of the 2016 group andtherefore there is no comparison.In Part III of the survey, students responded to the following questions using a LikertScale of 1-5: 1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree, 5 = StronglyAgree.
