models from images obtained with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The projectwas motivated by a desire to showcase new technical capabilities of the UIC, for bothcommercial and K-12 educational outreach purposes. The students focused primarily onautomating to the extent possible the challenging tasks of converting a series of (SEM) imagestaken of complex specimens found in nature to a 3D CAD description suitable for generatinginstructions for a 3D printer via photogrammetry software. The methodologies and toolsincorporated by the students is described and examples are shown of successful modeling efforts.The challenges remaining and opportunities to improve the technical process are discussed.

) administrators are reassessing admissions criteria to deemphasize standardizedtests and to take a more holistic view of a student academic experiences. Research shows that putting toomuch weight on high stakes standardized tests results in a misrepresentation of actual student potential foracademic success. Students, particularly students of color and girls, are often negatively impacted bystereotype threat which lowers scores and therefore do not accurately reflect student ability [22]–[26].Students who are first and second-generation immigrants or refugees may not speak English as their firstlanguage and so they are doubly disadvantage when it comes to standardized test scores.

Learning activities that stimulates critical thinking skillswould be desirable in any engineering classroom. Online discussion has emerged as a promising method for encouraging critical thinking indistance education [5], [10]. It provides opportunities for flexibility [11], [12] and collaboration[5].

In additionto these are the potential for the aerospace workforce to suffer reductions of current personnel asa result of retirements over the next decade [2], [3], [4]. As a result of these factors, aerospaceengineering remains a strong area of interest for many students today [6].Local experience reflects this same desire by students from Alaska and in the Pacific northwest.UAF counselors have provided feedback that new opportunities, including the school’s recentlyinstituted aerospace engineering minor, AIAA student chapter, and UAS-related courses are themost sought-after experiences by

However, we must remember that these results are based on self-reportedperceptions of improvements, a very common method, but not a highly reliable method.This previous analysis, however, makes us think about the need to face the challenge ofanalyzing different teaching and learning methodologies at the different cultural context toimprove international strategies. We should consider our students’ competencies usinginternational experience as a powerful tool.

Researchsuggests that student perceptions are not reliable indicators of whether an intervention supportslearning [28]. However, we do note that students engaged deeply with the assignments, whichsuggests that students found them valuable. However, future studies can investigate specificaspects students found worthy to invest time. As a fairly authentic task, exploring how techno-economic modeling might support professional identity development would be of interest.We conclude with implications for other chemical engineering faculty by reflecting on classroomexperiences in this study.

Literature in science education in the developed nations of Australia and USA identifiedteacher’s quality as the most important factor inhibiting science learning in schools that need tobe addressed [21]. In a similar study carried out in Australia, large class sizes, limited resources,inadequate time for preparation, reflection and teachers not collaborating with colleagues wereidentified as limiting factors in achieving quality of teaching science in secondary schools. Thusteachers’ knowledge of subject matter, initial preparedness of teacher, available resources inschools, for example, could impede student’s learning effectiveness and teacher’s teachingeffectiveness [22].

Although they tended to believethat the open-ended assignments were useful, they suggested that they could get more out ofthem with more thorough and prompt feedback. One remote student summarized this clearly,saying:“The open-ended assignments are a great way to make us grapple with the concepts and makesure that we actually understand the concepts, but in order for those to be effective, we need waymore feedback. I have often felt like I was very unsure of the answers I was providing for theassignments, but the schedule and the lack of feedback meant that I
