Our Graduate Research Assistantcollaborates with the various academic representatives to design a program that integrates theirinstitution’s offerings into the statewide ecosystem.As part of this collaborative effort, a preliminary course equivalency assessment is conducted.This involves an examination and comparison of the courses already established at theinstitutions. This initial evaluation allows us to identify potential areas of alignment and establishthe groundwork for the integration of those courses into the program.Through these engagements, we not only provide valuable insights into the benefits of optinginto the program but also actively

Aeronautical Engineering Technology program has senior level capstone courses thatintegrate knowledge gained through undergraduate courses. Three of these capstone coursesrequire the students to plan, design, build, test, and implement product or process improvements.Faculty members have designed these courses in the curriculum to focus students on productdesign and process improvement. The courses use Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology andtechniques as a structured approach to problem-solving, product design, and processimprovement. This combination of design project experience and LSS knowledge is anadvantage for graduates seeking careers in aerospace and aviation, as the LSS methodology iswidely used across multiple disciplines to achieve dramatic

Indeed,design is considered an issue of national importance2. Good design practices can be observed,but how can the expertise and methodologies employed be captured, transferred, implemented,formalized or improved? Why are some people more likely to be good designers? These are justsome of the questions that researchers and practitioners have sought to answer.In engineering education, students (undergraduate and graduate) are often involved
