The next few paragraphs offer the justification used to gain approval for thecourse and show how this is embedded within a larger (and growing) UAS/aerospace program within UAF.Impact. This course was designed to have minimal negative impact on university resources, requiring noadditional facilities and faculty. The course content builds upon existing graduate course material alreadytaught by UAF faculty (AERO 654, UAS Design, and AERO 656, Aerospace Systems Engineering). In addition, thiscourse leverages other undergraduate courses being developed as part of the proposed UAS OperationsCertificate and Occupational Endorsement Program (OEP). The course was also intended to leverage expertiseand synergy across

This work describes a pilot program called the “Interactive LearningCollaborative” that supports trained teaching assistants (TAs) in designing and implementing interactiveactivities and retrospective post-assessments in lectures, in partnership with faculty. The objectives of thepilot were to 1) provide engineering TAs opportunities to practice activity design and implementation, 2)improve students’ comprehension of the material through peer interaction and reflection in lectures, andin doing so, 3) demonstrate to faculty these pedagogies and their positive impact on student perception.In the fall of 2021, TAs met with a

research aimed to explore different pedagogical methods for integrating software intoengineering courses. This is a follow-up study to a preliminary study that was conducted duringthe previous semester on a quality control course. The preliminary study implemented twopedagogical methods: a traditional Instructor-Guided method and an active-learning Think-Pair-Share method. The study resulted in no statistically significant differences between the twomethods. Therefore, for this study, we modified the traditional method, identified as ModifiedInstructor-Guided, and added two new active-learning methods, Flipped Classroom and Problem-Based Learning, in place of Think-Pair-Share.

A few examples of the variations that fall under theneurodiversity umbrella are attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism (ASD),generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), depression, and dyslexia.
