choices. Firstly, a fundamental factor that contributes to prior experience is individuals’ deep-seated passion for flight and aviation. Several studies found that this passion often develops at ayoung age and serves as a primary motivator for individuals to pursue aviation education [11],[6], [12]. One study of professional female pilots found that their decision to pursue a career inaviation happened at 18.2 years of age [14]. A replication study done with graduates from acollegiate aviation program found this number to be 15.2 years of age [15]. This underscores theimportance of creating an interest in aviation at an earlier age if students are to enroll in acollegiate aviation program prior to entering the workforce. In addition

focusing on aerospaceengineering. The virtual setting of the summer research program allows reaching out to muchlarger student populations in South Texas including those who cannot commute or cannot attendin-person due to part-time jobs or other responsibilities related to their families. Nineteenstudents from different STEM majors were recruited from both community colleges and 4-yruniversities, including 16 Hispanic students. The students were divided into four teams. Eachteam worked together to complete a research project in three weeks with the guidance of afaculty member and a graduate student. Each team met at least once a day and completed twoprogress presentations, one final project presentation, and a written project report. In addition
