Minorities in Engineering Division(MIND)

Underrepresented Minorities in Aerospace EngineeringAbstractTraditionally, aerospace engineering disciplines are substantially underrepresented by AfricanAmerican, Hispanic, and female students. For example, Black and Hispanic American studentscollectively earn only 10.6%, 8.4%, and 6.4% of the BS, MS, and Ph.D.’s in aerospaceengineering, respectively. They are among the lowest percentages of all major engineeringdisciplines, leading to underutilization of the talent pool in the aerospace industry. 1 To tackle thisconcern, a multi-institution coalition sponsored by NASA is established to engageunderrepresented minorities in coordinated educational and professional development activities,including senior design projects, undergraduate research experiences

One segment of the construction industry workforce that isnot discussed as much on an individual basis is construction management. The employment needfor construction managers is expected to grow by 7.6% between 2021 and 2031 [1].

While all students take design coursesleading to their senior capstone projects, they do not all build prototypes of their work. Typically,in naval architecture and marine engineering programs, PBL projects focus on building smallmodels due to time, space, and cost issues with using full-scale vessels. Exceptions to thisapproach are taken at two colleges, where students may take elective courses that feature full-scale construction of 10-15 ft long plywood craft.
