313 A Laboratory-Based Course in Aerospace Engineering Failure David Lanning, Wahyu Lestari, and Shirley Waterhouse Embry-Riddle Aeronautical UniversityAbstractThis paper reports on a unique laboratory-based course in aerospace engineering failure createdfor undergraduate engineering students. The three-credit hour course is intended as an upper-level technical elective for students in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department atEmbry-Riddle Aeronautical University at the Prescott, Arizona campus. The lecture is heldtwice a week and the two hour and forty minute laboratory is

uniqueattributes of the high desert which make attracting and retaining new graduates difficult1.The Greater Antelope Valley is a triangular region extending from Ridgecrest, CA at thenorthern apex to Gorman, CA near the western apex, and the communities of Lake Los Angelesand Pearblossom, CA near the eastern apex2. The region defined as the Greater Antelope Valleyis often referred to as Aerospace Valley. The Aerospace Valley reference is due to the fact thatthe Greater Antelope Valley is the home of Edwards Air Force Base which also hosts NASADryden Flight Research Center, the Mojave Space Port, the China Lake Naval Air WeaponsStation, and Air Force Plant 42 at Palmdale Airport. These facilities have hosted the manufactureand flight test of such notable

322 Low-Cost Take-Home Experiment on Classical Control Using Matlab/Simulink Real-Time Windows Target Eniko T. Enikov, Vasco Polyzoev, Joshua GillAdvanced Micro and Nano Systems Laboratory, Department of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, University of ArizonaAbstractThis paper presents a low-cost hands-on experiment for a classical undergraduate controls courseoffered on behalf of non-electrical engineering majors. The setup consists of a small DCelectrical motor attached to one of the ends of a light rod. The motor drives a 2-in propeller andallows the rod to swing
