pathway seeks to make STEM learning more meaningful and inspiringto students by focusing on complex real-world problems and challenges that require initiative andcreativity. It promotes innovation and entrepreneurship by engaging learners in transdisciplinaryactivities such as project-based learning, science fairs, robotics clubs, invention challenges, orgaming workshops that require participants to identify and solve problems using knowledge andmethods from across disciplines. It seeks to help students challenged in mathematics – frequentlya barrier to STEM careers – by using innovative, tailored instructional methods. Another objectiveis teaching learners to tackle problems using multiple disciplines; for example, learning datascience by

education at the college was expanded byattempting a space systems design project, requesting additional space orientated classes,and encouraging the participation of underclassmen in space systems design. In thefuture, it is hoped that the efforts of the Earthrise Group, through the Perseus Project, willencourage future students to participate in the design of a rocket launch vehicle as asenior capstone project at Parks College.Introduction At the beginning of the Fall 2008/2009 school year, a group of four senioraerospace engineering students at Parks College, Saint Louis University founded theEarthrise Group. The purpose of this group was to participate in communal researchprojects, the first of which was the Perseus Launch Vehicle (PLV

TSAT was launched on a Space-X rocket from the KennedySpace Flight Center to the International Space Station (ISS) on April 18, 2014 and released as anautonomous satellite at 325 km altitude. The class structure, pedagogy, assessments, andoutcomes indicate the effectiveness of advanced student challenges that inspire students but dorequire significant support from faculty and staff.The 2014-2015 Capstone class is completing (with Air Force funding) a novel 6-cube satellite toinvestigate the Extremely-Low-Earth-Orbit (ELEO) region using an
