theprinciples of electrostatic propulsion, a different device known as an electrospray thruster may beused instead. Electrospray thrusters are significantly simpler to make and, although the operationis somewhat different to gridded ion and Hall thrusters, the basic principles of electrostaticpropulsion can be accurately demonstrated with the electrospray system.Electrospray thrusters are not a new technology, being first developed in the 1960’s [1]. Initiallythey were not popular due to low thrust levels and high voltages required. The emergence ofmicro- and nano- satellite technologies has seen a resurgence in interest in electrospray systemsas there are more avenues for their use and improvements in technology have dropped therequired voltages [2,3

Students also performed self-assessments of the development of their personalleadership qualities and the overall worth of the program.While actual execution of the project was done in a cross-functional team, each engineeringstudent was asked to identify how they were developing their leadership skills within theirproject. Specifically, they were asked to provide their personal narrative to • Explain his/her vision of the project and why it was appropriate to undertake • Describe what information he/she would be responsible for gathering and the communication strategy required • Describe which task(s) you he/she would lead in

The cohort also agreed that including students in Elkhart Catalyst that came from thefocus neighborhood(s) was important to the success of the data project as well as to the learningoutcomes. Nonetheless, the degree of academic diversity, at least in a small cohort, was both achallenge and an attribute. An additional challenge was that interns had some frustration with thelack of tangible projects in the community in the first year.Although any particular improvements suggested were not necessarily mentioned by everyone inthe cohort, there were a

civilengineering faculty have sought to develop their program appropriately along a set of commonlyaccepted educational taxonomies; that is, Bloom’s Taxonomy. These widely known taxonomiesare based on the seminal work of the 1950’s educational committee chaired by Benjamin Bloom.The committee established a set of taxonomies in three domains of learning: cognitive, affectiveand psychomotor. The cognitive domain taxonomy is widely accepted in many fields and hasbeen identified as, “arguably one of the most influential education monographs of the past halfcentury.”3 The taxonomies are a language that describes the progressive development of anindividual in each domain and are defined as follows4:  Cognitive: of, relating to, being, or involving conscious

A behaviorally-anchored rating scale is utilized to assesscontributions of each team member in five areas based on the team effectiveness literature (Ohlandet al., (2012)23. The grade for each team-based component is multiplied by the CATME factor foreach student and that is the score entered for the student. As such, if a student does not pull his/herweight, s/he is penalized by the rest of the team and gets a lower grade than the rest of the teammembers. Conversely, if a student goes above and beyond the norm, s/he is recognized by theteammates and gets a higher grade than the original team score.It should be noted that
