which through brief lectures, extensive experimental exercises, and two major hands-on team projects, a number of the most significant concepts from various areas of engineering, in general, and from aerospace sciences/engineering and aviation in particular were introduced and explained. Also, the plan was for the students to have an opportunity to tour several MSU engineering laboratories and Mankato Airport, fly in a flight simulator and in an airplane. A series of guest speakers, one each day, involving a number of administrators and faculty members from the MNCEME and MSU have also been contacted and agreed to address the Camp participants during lunch. A detailed plan for the Pilot Program Camp is given in

4developing an appreciation for regions with different climates, demographics, and histories. Co-location allows students to share academic experiences by attending classes together andcollaborating on projects. The experience seeks to cultivate a community among the scholars andto establish lifelong professional and personal relationships. To integrate the knowledge gainedthrough these experiences into student research, engineering dissertations are required to discussthe policy and sustainability implications of the experimental and/or theoretical research. Policydissertations are required to discuss the technological challenges and opportunities. The advisorycommittee for SF IGERT Trainees includes both engineering and policy faculty members
