and Implementation of Virtual Research Projects in Aerospace Engineering through a Virtual Summer Research ProgramAbstractWith the booming SpaceX in Boca Chica and other aerospace companies in the region, SouthTexas has a strong and fast-growing need for a qualified workforce in aerospace engineeringdespite COVID-19 concerns and is becoming the next Cape Canaveral of the 21st century.However, there is no community college or 4-yr university in South Texas offering an aerospaceengineering undergraduate or graduate program. To promote aerospace engineering and increasestudents’ interest in aerospace engineering in South Texas, Texas A&M University-Kingsvilleoffered a three-week virtual summer research program in Summer 2021

students learning through failure. This became an importantaspect of the course that we wished to preserve. However, we were concerned that the traditionalcourse structure and subsequent enrollment may have put some student teams in a position wherethe course demands were high and resources were not available, resulting in a design failure andstudent frustration. This led to the fifth goal of our course redesign: 5) Ensure that students can fail in a safe learning space with resources that promote recovery and learning, which we define as ‘growth.’New course structureIn the new course structure, we harness the faculty expertise we already have in the departmentby having each senior projects faculty advisor develop a project in their

It will explore howthe fledgling department will leverage both new aerospace engineering courses and existingmechanical engineering courses for curriculum and faculty optimization. The desired end state isa program that both satisfies ABET Accreditation requirements and maximizes high-qualityinstruction with projects-based, hands-on learning leveraging flight laboratories in thedepartment’s aircraft, a new wind tunnel (under construction), summer internships with DoD andindustry partners, and culminating in a sponsored capstone design project.Key words: Aerospace Engineering, education, curriculum development, program

there. Princeton historian Gillispie characterizedwhat Leibniz presented as a shift from Statics to Dynamics as a transition in the 17 th and 18thcentury from concern with ‘the science of mechanics to the science of machines (engines)’.Experimental studies of both the winds, aerodynamics, and water, hydrodynamics contributed tothe new understanding of Dynamics. At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th centuries inthe contributions of Lazare and Sadi Carnot we see Dynamics as the foundation ofthermodynamics, of engineering thermodynamics. Thermodynamics constitutes the most general framework of both the sciences andengineering. Oxford’s Peter Atkins, in his book, The Second Law, pointed out that there are twohistories of

, and diversity in the differentdisciplines allows the projects to be more successful in achieving their goals.Pedagogical ApproachMake to Innovate began with no real framework, and initially, the program was run as one largeindependent study course. This led to several issues, with the largest concern being that studentswere not learning anything with the program. Assessment in the program’s early days was alsonot well-defined, resulting in the program’s reputation for being an “easy A” course. It was clearthat a better framework and assessment plan was needed for the program to be successful.To achieve our objectives, Make to Innovate employed an innovative and dynamic approach toteaching.

In their 2023 report, Boeing projected that overthe next 20 years, 649,000 new pilots, 690,000 new maintenance technicians, and 938,000 newcabin crew members will be needed to meet global demand [13]. Recent industry developmentsinclude new airlines being announced in emerging economies and a proliferation of companiespursuing urban air mobility, among other initiatives. Talent acquisition and management isessential to support these enterprises. In their 2018 reauthorization of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), Congressmandated an advisory

Adding Spanish closed captioning has helped with this, and we hope toaddress more issues with language barriers in the future.As the results from high school implementation and PD events showed, the need for scaffoldedcontent was urgent. The teachers were mainly concerned about the length of the course and felthesitant about incorporating the whole course. The four-to-six-week length of the course was arigorous task for teachers to blend this MOOC into other ongoing class
