Electrical engineers use materials science and engineering toproduce computer chips, lasers, and superconductors.

Many of these students chose between aeronautics and astronautics based on theirexposure to these different paths in the intro courses. Thus, the introductory sequence hasbecome an important influence on the choice of concentration, as the exposure given to thestudents in this sequence becomes a large window to the world of aeronautics and astronautics ascurrently dominated by the use of computational tools.

A strong cooperative environment allows faculty to share ideas andconcerns regarding instruction, and identify needs for improving student preparation. Therefore,strengthening the connections among faculty, as well as the courses they teach and thetechnology that they use, can be beneficial to both students and faculty in providing a morecohesive instructional environment.
