The study is not longitudinal, not all interventions wereimplemented for the same group of students.The first-year intervention occurred in the introduction to engineering course. All engineeringand computer science majors take an introduction to engineering course during their first fallsemester. In fall 2015, all sections of the course included a one-lecture workshop on diversity inSTEM. The workshop was designed and led by an academic advisor who works with at-riskengineering students. Goals of the first-year intervention: • Increase awareness of the lack of diversity among students and professionals in engineering. • Increase awareness of privilege as it relates to identity, majority and

It can be seen in Table A1 that the coverageof fatigue is cursory in typical Mechanics of Materials texts. Most aerospace structures textsinclude some coverage of fatigue topics, but still at an elementary level.A detailed, quantitative analysis of fatigue, requiring significant experience in techniques ofelasticity and study of the subject of fracture mechanics, is beyond the scope of undergraduatestudents and rightly finds a place among graduate studies in Aerospace Engineering.
