Oftentimes, because ofstrict course prerequisites and limited offerings, students must wait until their senior year to participatein meaningful design experiences and apply their knowledge and skills. This combination can severelyhamper or prevent some students from participating at all. Design teams can provide opportunities tobreak down these barriers for many students, enabling them to participate earlier or more broadly intheir academic careers than may have been possible otherwise.The AIAA DBF Competition provides students with an opportunity to solve problems that they likelywouldn’t encounter in any other context, and in the process gain valuable experience

For example, existing research suggests that dimensions of socialidentity, such as race/ethnicity and gender, inform students’ sense of belonging, withimplications for students’ desires to pursue STEM careers, retention in secondary andpostsecondary education, and post-graduation career pursuits [13-20]. As such, we measureddemographic characteristics using a battery of items capturing racial/ethnic identity (1 =historically excluded student, 0 = non-historically excluded student), gender identity (1 = man, 0= non-man
