This juxtaposition enabled her toidentify the engineering traits she wanted to adopt and continue to form as well as those that shewanted to distance herself from.Engineers are often associated with technical knowledge of math, science, and physics, and arenot generally considered to be effective communicators. However, all of the attributes ofengineers mentioned by participants were related to professional skills and critical thinking, suchas effective communication. These findings indicate that the development of such skills and traitsoften supplement engineering identity, but are not necessarily considered as anchors; in suchinstances, participants

Interest in aerospace-related programs and courses has arisen from a variety ofperspectives. The relatively recent popularity of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), and the renewedinternational interest in US aerospace programs focusing on lunar habitation and Mars explorationhave all caused a strong resurgence in aerospace programs, in general.

This paper aims to consider the particular challenge of addedweight to a roof structure, with the understanding that the addition of structural material tosupport this load must be considered alongside operational energy benefits that a green roofprovides. In addition, the research herein provides a methodological framework for evaluatingthe efficacy of energy-saving strategies in general, including relevant software tools

These pedagogies have proven to be more effective than thetraditional “chalk-and-talk” passive lecture methods, and include challenge-based learning (e.g.,problem-based learning, project-based learning, case-based learning, inquiry-based learning [1])and a multitude of active/collaborative techniques (e.g., think-pair-share, quick think, jigsaw, andgallery walk). All of these learning methods excel in student learning of content as well as avariety of process skills such as critical thinking
