Through studying electrospray design and operation, the knowledgegarnered can be transferred to other applications. In particular, the electrostatic acceleration ofthe droplets is transferrable to other forms of ion thrusters, which are more common but harder toimplement in an educational lab setting.

The underlying rationale for any kind of formal instruction is the assumption thatknowledge, skills and attitudes learned in a classroom setting will be recalled accurately, and willbe used in some other context at some time in the future. Most often teaching and assessment isdone as if the underlying rationale for education were to improve students’ performance in school.National Institute of Literacy has created a set of literacy standards called “Equipped for the Future(EFF) Content Standards: What Adults Need to Know and Be Able to Do in the 21st Century” [3

Because of their cheaper cost, UASs can also be used as the entrypoint for many advanced concepts in aerospace engineering. However, academia and industryhave not seen proportionate increase in the number of students pursuing studies for advanceddegrees or entering the workforce in the area of UAS technologies.

Most of the students (undergraduate and many graduate) had not yet had an opportunity in their academic career to organize and lead a classroom discussion. Feedback from students was overwhelmingly positive. Students appreciated the opportunity to work through the process of organizing and leading a facilitated discussion and noted the boost in confidence this activity provided them for general public speaking skills. Students also noted value in the expectation that they were to provide questions of other student presentations.

In fact, the FAA predicts that the number of slightlylarger UAS; those over 55 lbs, could exceed the number of general aviation aircraft by the mid-2030s.

Itis no surprise then that academic institutions, and STEM programs in particular, areincorporating UAS into their education. As with any technology, this can present bothopportunities and challenges.
