  2. If we offered a new class, which would you like? • Aerospace – 43.0% • Biotechnical – 12.9% • Civil engineering and architecture – 17.1% • Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM)-19.3% • Capstone (EDD) – 12.9% • (Engineering Challenge Class – More rigorous then Challenge) 5% said they wanted to do both AE and CEA East 17% said they wanted to do both AE and CEA West ENGAGE    THINKCOLLABORATEINNOVATE    CREATE

  3. Needs Assessment – East HS Surveyed 56 students, 51 responded (91%) ENGAGE    THINKCOLLABORATEINNOVATE    CREATE

  4. Needs Assessment – West HS Surveyed 85 students, 59 responded (69%) ENGAGE    THINKCOLLABORATEINNOVATE    CREATE

  5. Course Content/Concepts • Applied Physics, Earth Science, Life Science and Physical Science • Applied Algebra II, Geometry and Statistics • Fluid Mechanics • Robotics • Technology standards ENGAGE    THINKCOLLABORATEINNOVATE    CREATE

  6. Significance of US Aerospace Industry • Opportunities in aviation and space industries • Employment opportunities expected to increase as Apollo-era engineers reach retirement age • Employs 500,000 workers, including managers, engineers, and highly skilled production workers • $80 - 100 Billion in exports per year • Above-average salaries at all levels • Opportunities in both government and private sector • Private industry is taking over launch services and rocket development in the United States • NASA still designs, builds, and operates many spacecraft and landers • USAF has extensive space program From US Dept. of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics ENGAGE    THINKCOLLABORATEINNOVATE    CREATE
