and had little influence for a couple of centuries.Bejan’s Engineering Thermodynamics Duke mechanical engineer Adrian Bejan has been struggling to make sense ofengineering thermodynamics for over fifty years. I examined some of Bejan’s work twenty yearsago, saw that there was value, but I did not then appreciate the depth of what he had begun toarticulate. I now believe that Bejan’s mature work in understanding engineering thermodynamicswill be of special value to aeronautical engineering education. Bejan tells us that his core insight began to crystalize in 1996. His 1995 book, EntropyGeneralization Minimization, was a prequel. The subtitle captured one of his core insights: TheMethod of Thermodynamics Optimization of Finite

project design using data methods using technology integration. The field ofaerospace and aviation education is currently undergoing progress and requires peer-to-peerinteractions and the utilization of data methods with technology integration to improve projectdesign. This study involves undergraduate students in engineering and aviation sciences who areexploring the design of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) for advancement. The investigationaims to examine the limitations of peer-to-peer interaction using project-based learning methodsand offers insight into student capabilities, resources, interest, and connection to course learningoutcomes. Through this investigation, the students gained an understanding of the designapproach and the
control guides, and mixed-use data visualization [4, 7]. In short, theaerospace industry has seen a multitude of innovative, diverse applications of XR technologies.XR has also seen numerous applications in university-level STEM education [1]. With this typeof technology, students can see and manipulate virtual 3-D objects, observe the unobservable,and correct misconceptions [8]. For example, Indian Hills Community College leveraged VRtechnology to create a virtual fermentation lab for students to visualize the fermentation process[9]. Both Sam Houston University and the University of Cincinnati created virtual robotic armsimulations for students to control [10, 11].

impacted efforts to recruit a more diversepopulation of students into the discipline [6]. In this paper, I demonstrate how an accessible andinclusive middle school mini-unit on fluid mechanics can be constructed using principles ofculturally-relevant pedagogy, community-based learning, and the Ambitious Science Teachingmodel. By doing so, I hope to push back against dominant perceptions about teachingengineering to young learners and offer an example mini-unit plan for other educators to adaptfor teaching aerospace or other relevant engineering concepts.Conceptual FrameworkThis mini-unit – playfully titled “Cool It!” – was developed using principles of culturallyresponsive and sustaining pedagogies (CRSP), community-based learning (CBL), and

programs for engineering continue to grow in popularity among schools anduniversities, the corresponding curriculum that gets delivered to students has becomeincreasingly compartmentalized to each specific discipline. This shift has occurred naturally aseducational departments desire to highlight direct applicability of their education to theirdepartment label. However, much of the knowledge and many of the skills obtained in individualfields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) can be applied to variousother STEM fields. Yet, preconceived barriers between each discipline often create mental gapsin the minds of students that render their abilities to think of their education’s applicabilityoutside of the department they are
