Many interesting conversations took place throughout
the event. A senior student in the program was overheard chatting with another undergrad about the newest addition to the lab component of AEM 4601. AEM recently acquired a new one-degree-of-freedom (1 DOF) helicopter. This helicopter will be introduced to students in the
AEM 4601 lab for the Spring 2023 semester. The senior student commented how lucky the newer students are to be working with the new 1 DOF ‘...because it looks fun!’
Macy Bauers, an AEM Senior and Vice President of the Rocket Team, talked about the Team’s participation at the open house. She said that working to create a casual atmosphere to chat with other students is important because it provides an opportunity for them to hang out with other members of the Rocket Team and learn about the projects the team is working on.
With the positive reception the open house received, the Department has plans to make this an annual event and offer more hands-on learning opportunities, along with a virtual component as well.
