transferdata in real time.One of the most important components of the communication subsystem is the antenna.Currently most CubeSats typically use patch, slot, dipole and monopole, and reflector antennas[1]. These designs all have their own advantages and disadvantages, but a common disadvantageamong them is their narrow bandwidth ranging from 1% to 45% with comparably low gain.Designing a high gain, ultra-wideband antenna to operate in the S band for a larger transmissionbandwidth may require a size that exceeds the size constraints of the CubeSat, which will requirea deployment mechanism.In this paper, a log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) is proposed. The main advantages of the LPDAare that it has a low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than

three-link robot. This robot will be given a specifictransformation at each link. The robot will show the beginning and end positions of the robot. It will alsoshow the DH matrix for the forward kinematics. The inverse kinematics is very similar to the teaching of forward kinematics except instead of givingthe transformations the end effector position is given. The robot will represent the movements to thesame position but will mathematically work backwards to find the transformations. To teach the Jacobian, a predefined robot is used to calculate all Jacobian(s). Then the robot ismoved to all values found to show students the singularity at these points. The examples for trajectory planning will include a dynamic visual of a pre

The detection of cracks, erosion, voids, and gaps in walls and structural supports is criticalin preventing structural failures. Microwave-based, non-invasive techniques such as Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) are preferred to detect structural anomalies since there is no impacton the integrity of the structure or material due to the penetration ability of microwaves intodielectric materials. Current NDT equipment have several limitations and drawbacks, such asbeing

sustainable energy through salinitygradient [2]. Prospects for the various energy sources were assessed after the 1973 oil crisis, andSidney Loeb [3] introduced the idea of PRO in the 1970’s. However, research slowed down in the80s and 90s due to the expensive cost of the available membranes, which would make osmoticpower generation financially unviable. More recently interest in searching new clean and non-periodic energy sources resulted in the construction of several large or small-scale pilot SGP powerplants [4, 5]. Salinity gradient can provide us with a very large source of clean energy. Riversaround the world with an average flow of 1.2×10 m3/s have the potential to produce up to 2.5 TWof energy. This is about 13 percent of the current world's

questions are generally related to the heat transfer processes/geometriesdescribed in said figure. Students are asked to carefully scrutinize the figure toidentify the probable mode(s) of heat transfer. During the review period, groups ofstudents work together to come up with potential exam problems related to thecovered content and then identify strategies, methodologies, and/or relevantequations to obtain solutions. The primary role of the instructor during theseactivities is to ensure that the discussions are relevant to the upcoming exam’scontent or focus. Review sessions are typically held the day before the exam, andthe preview figures are provided in advance. The review activity is based onvarious studies supporting collaborative learning as
correctly [2]. Given these problems with teamwork projects in engineering classes within allengineering disciplines, a goal of this research study is to involve students themselves in oneparticular class, Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, in researching and improving theteamwork process. To encourage active student participation, the research team choseparticipatory action research (PAR) as the primary research framework, due to its emphasis onlistening and learning from the people (i.e. engineering students) who are impacted by aparticular problem or issue (i.e. teamwork projects) and using this information to create actionsteps towards positive change [3]. Since the 1960’s, PAR has been used extensively ineducational settings [4] and

: Diagnosed with ADHD I have ADHD I find that this help me focus. It is an alternative to leg bouncing. I like the spinning chair.Keeping this in mind, it makes this device’s implication in schools and offices more useful, as people withissues focusing can use their chairs as a way to help them. This produces more energy. It does notnecessarily affect our product as a whole, however we believe it is notable enough to include. Reflectingon the results of our final design, we conclude that it would be an advantageous way to produce renewableenergy.References [1] S. Tyaglov, A. Sheveleva, T.

Instructor 3’s original CBG methodology: • Most students enjoyed the flexibility of CBG where they could move at their own pace and had a chance to recover from failures. • Infinite resubmissions increased the instructor's burden because the instructor needed to grade many assignments and had to give feedback in all cases. • Flexible deadlines could hurt students who have poor time management and increase the instructor burden (grading and feedback).

to broaden their horizons from conventional robots. With an existinginfrastructure of 3D printers, the cost of our methodology is at a minimum; it is solely the price ofthe flexible filament and the price of shipping. Students will gather experience with FDM printingof flexible filaments, iterative design, and hands-on experiments with their robots being off-campus. Our methodology of remote printing of flexible components gives access to roboticsengineering education to students by decoupling the need for access to laboratory equipment.References[1] S.
