Project Lead theWay is a well-established program providing an engineering-specific curriculum and training tohigh school educators.This program can also be seen as a school-university partnership; however, most partnershipsfocus on teacher professional development. Brady describes that some of these partnershipsinclude supervision and mentoring, collaborative teaching initiatives, action research, jointprofessional development, shared planning, and school enrichment and support [4]. This programis a partnership focused on students.Ultimately, this program is innovative, as it is a university offering a high school class. The courseis unique to the university’s community.

Thecourse is unique because this is one of the few courses in the nation and DEM is anemerging technology in numerical methods. This course is also innovative due to theextensive faculty-students interaction during the lectures, computer lab work, and studentprojects. In addition, the DEM application in student research projects has been verysuccessful in the past few years. The DEM was applied in soil compaction, aggregatecompaction, and asphalt mixture modeling simulation. The research work at otheruniversities was reviewed and summarized. In order to introduce the advances of theDEM to the graduate curriculum, some materials such as soil, sand, and asphalt

This effort would ensure and improve airworthiness complianceand safety for civil and military aerospace systems and embed the airworthiness discipline as partof the design and development life cycle of aircraft. As demands for certification of newaircraft-type entrants, such as UAS and advancements in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), therewill be an increase in demand for airworthiness professionals employed by both the FAA andaircraft designers / manufacturers to process aircraft certifications.
