Previous research in aerospace engineering describes the in-use“allowables” design criteria, while more recent works critique these criteria.

Women were generally more satisfied than men concerningthe faculty advisor. The most rewarding elements of the program reported was learning newskills and the excitement for pursuing careers in engineering. Frustrations were not related to theremote work rather challenges with the software and other research-related issues that are likelyto occur in any research setting.RET HighlightsKey Findings: Surveyed teachers participating in the program report increased confidence andknowledge in research

Theengineering workforce today is expected to perform effectively in a multi-disciplinaryenvironment, underlining the importance of soft skills that include interdisciplinarycommunication, teamwork and leadership. Despite the increasing awareness, the gap betweengraduates’ soft skills prepared by academics and those required in the job force stays significant,if not continues to widen.

The review found that students were satisfied with the costsavings afforded [8-10]. Also that the majority of the end users found OER content to becomparable [8, 11] or preferred to traditional textbooks [10, 12, 13].
