Enhancing Aerospace Education: Collaborative Efforts for Students and Educators

The Education Subcommittee aims to provide students and educators with robust access to activities and information highlighting aerospace structures and engineering. Proposed outputs include web-based resources and curricula targeting undergraduate students, particularly sophomores and juniors. The initiative will foster collaboration with existing organizations to review current online materials, develop new curricula, and inform about events. Participants will break into groups to focus on compiling resources and creating new topics for online education.

  1. Education Subcommittee May Telecon 25 May 2011

  2. EdSC Mission • To provide students and educators access to activities and information that highlight aerospace structures and engineering

  3. EdSC members

  4. Proposed EdSC Output • Provide web-based information/curricula/podcasts to enhance existing materials • Target group: Undergraduate students – Soph-Jr. • Collaborate with existing organizations to • Review existing on-line information • Develop new on-line curriculum and media • Inform of upcoming events/opportunities for students and teachers

  5. Proposed Approach • Break out into 2 groups to work on two action items described herein • Please choose one or both • Monthly telecon to report results to EdSC • Very open to everyone’s ideas and experiences

  6. Action #1 • Compile a list of online aerospace engineering education resources “literature review” • Government • Industry • Academia • Engineering Societies • Identify and pursue opportunities for collaboration • AIAA website/ AIAA Educator Associate: Lisa Bacon, Stephan Brock • Coordination with other organizations ASEE/ASME/NAE and other TCs • Curriculum development and review • Identify existing activities/competitions for students • Identify contacts • Identify gaps in information for college undergraduates • This will help us tailor the content of our work

  7. Some K12 websites • teachengineering.org • egfi-k12.org • engineeringyourlife.org

  8. Action #2 • Create a list of topic areas for new web-based information (short articles or podcasts). • Research, testing, manufacturing, operations, etc. • Content should include some basic engineering/science principles (math) and then relate to a bigger picture problem/activity
