Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843-3141Abstract. This paper describes the author’s learning experience as the instructor of record for ajunior-level flight dynamics class for three semesters during his PhD studies at the Department ofAerospace Engineering at Texas A&M University, College Station. This experience is extremelyvaluable to prepare for a career in academia. The author did not come from an undergraduatebackground in aerospace, so to prepare for teaching the course he learned the material by takingthe flight dynamics class in Spring 2015 and grading for it in Fall 2015. The first two semesters ofteaching were part of the Graduate Teaching Fellows program hosted by the College ofEngineering. The class size was a

of the importance of undergraduate research is underscored by thedetermination to deliberately embed undergraduate research in the curriculum in someengineering programs, through involving students in innovative design experience5-6. The modalities of productively involving less experienced students in meaningfulresearch is however not trivial. This is largely due to the strict requirements of theundergraduate curriculum that often call for heavy course loads. Many students begin to takeelective classes in engineering specialty areas when they are in their final year. This leaveslittle room to engage in research after acquisition of basic knowledge in the relevant courses.Since research by nature tends to impose more demands on time

These feelings arise from a multitude of environments,such as in relation to how female students interact with their male peers and with instructors.Some examples highlighted include female students being type-casted for certain roles, suchas notetakers, by male peers [9] and feelings of exclusion and ostracization [10]. Because ofintersectionality, female students who are also BIPOC have multiple identities that tend tofeel isolated and left out of engineering.It is worth noting how sense of belonging can differentially impact students across spaces ofan institution. “Academic” and

underscored the value of entering student-centered, academic-adjacent spaces to identify and address gender-related concerns. For several participants, thismanifested as attending meetings of student groups like the Society of Women Engineers andWomen in Engineering programs. Women often, though not always, engage in discussionsaround their own gender-related experiences in these environments. As discussed earlier,possessing an understanding of the distinct experiences of women in engineering is critical forally development so men’s engagement in these spaces can be an important step in enhancingtheir perceptions of the population they seek to support. Additionally, as the majority group inengineering, men may have the capacity, power, and capital to
