joint three-way collaboration between researchers from the US university, the German Research organization, and scientists at a USNational Laboratory, but has since expanded to encompass other research institutions based on the project demands of thestudent researchers, including additional National Laboratories. The collaboration from this program exposes both undergraduateand graduate students to the technical, global, and professional environment ideal for fostering the skills necessary in the nextgeneration of competent global engineers while also providing the conditions towards advancing research in their given research International Research Collaboration

metalforming, hand tool operations, manual assembly, and acquire familiarity with laboratory testingas a means of design validation. The semester-long project allows students to improve theirteamwork and communication skills.Thin-walled structures play a key role in the design of modern aircraft [8]. Components such aswings and fuselage are designed to reduce as much of the structural weight as possible, thus,making compression-induced instability and failure a major design criterion. Buckling refers to astructural instability caused by a sudden out-of-plane deflection when the applied load places allor part of a structural member’s cross-section under compression [9]. To prevent buckling, thethin skins of aerospace structures are supported or

the rocket and so must handle highlyenergetic materials safely. Therefore, the propulsion team has two main advisors: a safety advisor whosupervises all activities undertaken with energetic materials and a technical advisor who is highlyknowledgeable about propulsion. These two advisors permit the team to access on-campus laboratories thatspecialize in manufacturing energetic materials. Access to those laboratories allows the team to safely mixand cast the solid rocket propellant articles necessary to construct a rocket motor. Once the propulsion teamis ready to test a new motor, the two advisors oversee design reviews and closely monitor the physicalhardware to ensure that student risk is minimized during testing.2.2 Past, Current, and

the fact that throughout thecourse, student attendance was excellent. During the class, students consistently maintained eyecontact with the instructor because they were engaged in the presentation of the material.Students very much liked the course content and the way in which it was presented, but probablyvery few students could put into words why they liked the pedagogy used in Aero TWC. Theanswer as to why the course content was well received is that the teaching of the course wasdone in such a manner that every class had features of the presentation style that appealed totheir various learning styles.Also, during the academic year 2022-2023, the Aero TWC instructor was a Teaching Assistant(TA) for an Aerospace laboratory course (which
