AB  - The Broadening Participation in Aerospace Engineering (BP-AE) program addresses the need to expand access to research experiences and professional development in aerospace engineering. Using a train-the-trainer mentorship model, graduate mentors are equipped to train peers and lead development activities, fostering a scalable and self-sustaining network that supports student engagement and success in STEM fields.

With support from National Science Foundation (NSF) grants, BP-AE expanded to five additional institutions and provided summer research opportunities through the Transformational Technologies for Next Generation Aerospace Systems Research Experience for Undergraduates (TT-AE REU) program. Collaborations with universities and industry partners enhanced program sustainability and impact. External evaluations confirmed increased STEM engagement and retention, showcasing BP-AE’s effectiveness in preparing a skilled aerospace workforce through strategic partnerships and sustainable practices.
