Fig. 1-Work Readiness Integrated Competence Model (WRICM) [22].PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore engineers' and engineering interns' perceptions ofpreparedness to work in agricultural technology start-ups in the Midwest through semi-structuredinterviews. The following research questions will be addressed: 1. What resources (intellectual, meta-skill, personality, job-specific) are perceived to be important for engineers and engineering interns to have in order to work in the agricultural technology start-up industry? a. Which skills are perceived as most important? b. Where do engineering students gain these skills from? c. Which of these

conducted the redesign of the UAVusing SolidWorks and Fusion360 CAD software. To make the electric UAV fly on Mars, itswingspan had to be increased from 1.5 m to 3.8 m, yet weight needed to be reduced, so its ratherbulky fuselage was reduced in volume by 2/3rd, and a light-weight carbon fiber/epoxy compositewas used for all structural components. The current electric motor and batteries seemed toprovide sufficient power. During this 3-week project, the students were able to a) learn andunderstand the basic aerodynamic theory, b) learn the differences between Earth’s and Mar’satmosphere, develop & use Excel spreadsheets, and use the FOILSIM III software. c) Theyevaluated trade-offs between gross weight, take-off speeds, air density, wing area

. Her research draws from perspectives in anthropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences to focus on the role of culture and ideology in science learning and educational change. Her research interests include how to: (a) disrupt problematic cultural narratives in STEM (e.g. brilliance narratives, meritocracy, and individualistic competition); (b) cultivate equity-minded approaches in ed- ucational spheres, where educators take responsibility for racialized inequities in student success; and (c) cultivate more ethical future scientists and engineers by blending social, political and technological spheres.

Ft. Campbell, the120-credit program totals $35,430. The flight lab fees add $96,619.50 to that tuition (seeAppendix B). The approximate cost of a nearby fixed-wing program with a similar curriculum is$ 60,000. [11]Aircraft: The next decision was what aircraft to obtain for the training. The predominant helicopterused for initial helicopter training in the U.S. is the Robinson R22. Its unmatched low initialacquisition cost makes it a natural choice for flight schools. It was determined, through initialresearch that the operating characteristics of the R22, were marginal, at best, for initial pilot training.The R22 suffers from an extremely low inertia main rotor system. This characteristic leaves theR22 main rotor susceptible to over
