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. Results from the TA VIE project will hopefully shedmore light on this issue.Considering these reflections and analysis, we can only confirm that a new mindset is needed:from numbers to

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. We have dived deeper in this challenge every year and students areengaged but

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].

This search yielded information about 102 ambassador-type outreachprograms2. The points of contact for all of the programs were then sent an invitation to completea short survey describing the focus, composition, and core features of their program (AppendixA). Thirty programs reflecting universities in the north, mid-Atlantic, south, mid-west, south-west and north-west of the United States responded to this survey.

This is known as theevaluation phase. In the synthesis phase, it became apparent that time was a major constraint.Due to this students must be aware of the fact that they should only take on activities and workthey believe they will be able to effectively complete. Taking on too much will not only leadto a decrease in performance across all of the tasks but will also lead to added unnecessarystress. For these reasons, it is vital to the success of the student to create a plan that takes inimportant system requirements and prioritizes work to
