-functional skills such as technicalwriting and communication (TWC) in addition to the engineering-specific knowledge gained inan undergraduate education. Industry constituents expect engineering graduates to communicatetechnical content efficiently and effectively to disseminate technical information.Specifically, the aviation industry requires a considerable amount of documentation to supportthe design, development, maintenance, and safety of operations; as such, skill in technicalwriting is required to accomplish these activities effectively. However, in traditional, humanities-based writing courses, (which are often the main source of writing preparation for engineeringstudents) the focus of such writing courses is not on technical writing

course is improved by integratingthe ACRP university design competition into the curriculum at one MSI. The course is redesignwith a “student-centered” approach. Several project support lectures are added into thecurriculum to provide students additional assistance in refining their writing skills, masteringresearch methods, and understanding reference and citation formats.Rather than adopting a deficit mindset that could impede students' academic success, theinstructor emphasizes the unique capital inherent in students and encourages them to leveragetheir distinctive community cultural wealth to their advantage. For example, in the project topicselection stage, the instructor highlights the value of the fact that many students enrolled in

. Students also learn toanalyze and validate measurement results and to carry out typical measurements in solid mechanicsand fluid mechanics. The course also covers the description of the main types of sensors, readingand recording devices, computerized data acquisition systems, and an introduction to LabVIEWsoftware. Laboratories play a central role in this training: 11 experimental sessions are scheduledthroughout the term. This course contributes to Quality 3 – Investigation – as defined by theCanadian Engineering Accreditation Board. In response to feedback from the aerospaceengineering students, a separate version of this course has recently been developed for theirprogram. This new course introduces three new laboratories, among which is the

The Industrial Advisory Boards (IAB) representing the degree programspreviously noted, have often voiced their desire for more specialized training in the areas noted, andthis project is an excellent mechanism to accomplish that. The testbed project provides students aneffective forum for learning these skills and mastering them at a professional level.6.0 STUDENT OUTCOMESOne of the primary goals of the initial phase of the Hybrid Rocket and High-Temperature

Airfoil Project: Analytical, Numerical, and Experimental Introduction for UndergraduatesAbstract: In an upper-level, undergraduate, elective fundamental Aerodynamics engineeringcourse, engaging students, and ensuring the learning is impactful is supported through an eight-week project that incorporates analytical, numerical, and experimental analysis of an airfoil.This project allows students to apply what they have learned in lectures, including thin-airfoiltheory, dimensional analysis, and wind tunnel operations. This undergraduate research project,a “high-impact practice,” introduces the students to the variety of research methods in a waythat typically cannot be accomplished in one class with a specific focus outside of

students’ belonging,simultaneously, to multiple social categories such as gender identity, sexual orientation,race/ethnicity, and disability status within the context of engineering doctoral education. Intersectionality theory is credited to Crenshaw [51][52], who used it to describe thesimultaneous consideration of race and gender and noted that analysis of race or gender aloneor in isolation fails to capture the experiences of women of color. Yet, the concept ofintersectionality originated in Black feminist theory and activism, beginning with works, such asSojourner Truth’s 1851 “Ain’t I a Woman” speech and Anna Julia Cooper’s A Voice from theSouth (1892), and continued in the writings of the Combahee River Collective (1982) and others

weredeveloped. The learning objectives were designed to fit within the telecommunications andorbital mechanics topic areas of astronautical engineering [35]. The telecommunications topic isbased around the processing and transfer of information [36]. Within the scope of aerospaceengineering, it is primarily focused on the transfer of data to and from satellites and spacemissions. The orbital mechanics topic often includes fundamentals such as the two-bodyproblem, orbital elements, and on-orbit maneuvers [37].To produce these learning objectives that fulfill these ABET topics, Bloom’s Taxonomyframework was used. The framework has six major categories: remember, understand, apply,analyze, evaluate, and create [38]—all of which are important to a well
