EdSC Mission
• To provide students and educators access to activities and information that highlight aerospace structures and engineering
EdSC members
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
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
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
Some K12 websites
• teachengineering.org• egfi-k12.org• engineeringyourlife.org
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
