Results also indicate that both engineering andscience majors are relatively confident in their level of preparedness for future research, signifiedby means above 6.0 for nearly every preparedness item. Before the summer experience, sciencestudents perceived significantly higher (p = 0.0039) recognition from their mentor(s) ascompared to engineering students, whereas in every other aspect of science identity there wereno significant differences by major in either pre- or post-summer experience items. The resultssuggest that early-stage engineering students identify less with research compared to theirscience counterparts and, subsequently, feel less prepared to conduct research; however,participation in an interdisciplinary experience

During re-entry, thenose and leading edges of the wings experience temperatures as high as 3000 °F (1650 °C).1One of the major decisions to be made during the shuttle development was the design for thebooster rockets. Options included using liquid or solid-fueled boosters, and whether the boosterswould be expendable or reusable. NASA believed that solid rocket boosters would be lessexpensive to develop, even though they had had higher projected operational costs than liquidboosters. The shuttle was the first manned spacecraft to use solid rockets.1 There is somespeculation that the Air Force pressured NASA to use solid fuel boosters because they wanted todevelop the
