Session 3202 Keeping Students Engaged: An Overview of Three Introductory Courses in Aerospace Engineering M. Rais-Rohani, K. Koenig, T. Hannigan Mississippi State UniversityAbstractThe traditional approach of teaching major-specific courses beginning in the first or secondsemester sophomore year has many drawbacks that could lead to stifling student's enthusiasmand interest in his/her field of study and very often to the loss of many talented students to otherprograms. To alleviate this problem and to keep students engaged and interested in their
in the future. This paper explores how the classroomlecture has changed with technology and student expectations. Current discussions and conflicts onwhat engineering education should look like in the future will be discussed as well as the dilemmafacing new faculty with increased expectations to achieve tenure. Cutting funds for highereducation by many states has been a high priority of legislators and research funding is being cut bythe federal government. So why should one go into a career in higher education? The importantrewards are still the same as they were a half century ago!Foundations for the FutureFor the past several years there was an article published on the incoming class of freshman studentswith the emphasis being on the

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) established theJoint Task Force on Computing Curricula 2001 (CC2001) to undertake a major review ofcurriculum guidelines for undergraduate programs in computing. The effort was to match thelatest developments of computing technologies in the past decade and last through the nextdecade [1]. The “Computing Curriculum 1991” [2] and other previous efforts of the IEEE-CSand ACM did not distinguish computer science from computer engineering programs. TheIEEE-CS and ACM established the Computing Curriculum - Computer Engineering (CCCE)Task Force in 2001 to develop a separate volume on computer engineering curricula tocomplement the CC2001 report. Other task forces also emerged to prepare separate volumes forcomputer

topics in science and engineering encourages students to engage moreconfidently in an unfamiliar discipline.Several different courses, focusing on different intersections, now exist. “Representing Scienceon Stage” focuses on the intersections between science and theatre, framed by an attempt todefine “science/scientist” and “performance/performer,” and to pull apart stereotypical binarypairs--rational vs. imaginative, objective vs. subjective, intellectual vs. emotional--using playswith science as its subject matter. Another course, “Representing Science and Technology in thePopular Media” teaches literary and critical analysis through close examination of popularscience texts, particularly science journalism. It takes advantage of the students
applications of engineering work. An interest in emphasizing mathematics andscience led to the launch of a number of undergraduate and graduate programs around the worldin Engineering Science, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry, and the persistent inclusion of acomprehensive foundation in mathematics and science in engineering programs.This foundation has enabled a focus on first principles as part of the teaching and learningdiscourse in some engineering programs. More recently, first principles thinking has also beendiscussed in the popular technology discourse as connected to innovation. Here, it is described asa method used to identify and reason from the most fundamental truths in our knowledge base tosupport problem solving and innovation. While
