They categorize and organize everything to avoid the discomfort of the unknown. • Strange Attractor: Individuals exhibit open-mindedness and adaptability, embracing the potential for change and growth. This approach allows for continuous learning and flexibility in navigating an unpredictable world.Chaos Theory of Careers also integrates the concept of spirituality into career development,recognizing five key dimensions: • Connection: Feeling a sense of belonging to something larger than oneself, whether it be community, the world, or a spiritual force

We decided to make an iconbooklet, which still exists today and is shared among our department (Figure 2). In these ways,our curriculum was co-constructed among all seminar participants. Figure 2.

The reduction in thenumber of passes reduces the time-to-market and the cost of development. Including reliabilityoptimization during design also helps assure that reliability is not an afterthought, just somethingextra thrown in at the end; but rather is an integral part of the product. Making reliability part ofthe design should also enhance the reliability of the final product, reducing downtime in the field,and increasing the time between failures.3.2 Design for Retirement The concept of product retirement is one that most consumers do not think about.

and active in solving these problems.I. IntroductionThe central issue in this paper is how to get students involved in large interdisciplinary projectsat an early stage. In the past three years, enrollment in aerospace engineering at the author’sinstitution has risen sharply. This rise appears to be related to the expectation that there will be awealth of Space-related opportunities, resulting from the Mars Exploration plan 1 and the “GoldRush to Low Earth Orbit” 2 seen in the late 1990s. The rigorous courses on fundamentalmathematics and science in the first two years of college afford little occasion to remember whyone wanted to enter engineering in the first place. In the 1990s, we tried to address thisdemoralizing aspect by setting up a
