systems, and other topics. The projects give students an opportunity to design, analyze,build, integrate, and test unmanned aerial systems, both in simulation and flights. The projectsalso give students experience working with faculty member(s) and help well prepare them intheir oral and written communication skills. Lack of strong written and oral communications hasbeen identified as deficiency in STEM education, resulting in poor success rate. The studentsfrom several departments including Aerospace Engineering, Electrical & Computer Engineering,and Computer Science Departments work on these projects in an interdisciplinary environment.The goal is to involve the students in these projects for an extended period of time, starting withthe

beunderstood or experienced [9]. The interpreter of the phenomenon is the participant, not theresearcher. In order to solicit a variety of experiences and to allow all relevant voices to be heard[10] , a highly varied sampling of participants is necessary. With a well-designed semi-structuredinterview, the participant can unveil the environment, the products, and the processes of theirprofessional experiences. The creation of hierarchical categories as part of the analysis mayuncover the development of mastery of the skill(s) under investigation. While there has been work that shows a one-axis increase of awareness or mastery of acertain phenomenon, there is an increasing use of phenomenography where the results oroutcomes are expressed in

machine. The testing machine is pre-programmed to execute constant amplitude loadingunder load control conditions. Figure 3: Installation of fatigue test specimen in servohydraulic testing machineResults for fatigue life in general strongly depend on the load levels experienced. Given the timelimitations, a single load range is used for all test samples. (In a materials rather than astructures lab, variations in fatigue life due to different stress amplitudes can be explored in thecontext of a rotating beam test to generate a S-N curve.) The peak amplitude of stress was set toprovide an estimated run time of about 30 minutes for the specimens with a circular hole. Thisresulted in a maximum load of 1788 lb (7.95 kN), corresponding to a

gain diminishing to its minimum value at the adjacent antenna’sboresight.Figure 6 depicts the matched antenna gain patterns with the incident radar signal added. Thisgives two different received powers: P1dBm at receiver 1 (connected to antenna 1), and P2dBm at Figure 6: Antenna pair with incident radar signalreceiver/antenna 2. Look carefully at Figure 6. Note that the difference between the tworeceived powers varies linearly with the angle off of boresight, from a maximum of AdB_BS at 0°(antenna 1’s boresight) to a minimum of 0 dB at 45°. (Beyond that the arrival angle is closer toantenna 2, so all of the following calculations would be reversed and worked with respect toantenna 2 instead of Antenna 1.) It is this

Engineering designcan also be defined as a structured approach to developing, validating, and

airframe had a design weight of 35 pounds and a wing loading of W/S= 2.92 pounds per square foot, the wing area of the wing was 12 square feet. The aspect ratio wasAR = 6.75. This aspect ratio yields nearly an elliptical lift distribution, which is the most efficientlift distribution that can be attained. The wingspan was determined to be 108 inches. Theconfiguration was a conventional tractor type, Figure 3.2. Figure 3.2 The students know the primary ISR mission requires some type of imaging device plus itspower and control source. Because of issues with the first design of residue affecting the cameradome, which is under the fuselage, the next design featured a twin-boom, pusher configuration

Tohelp eliminate the negative effects of the microgravity environment, a spinning structure wouldsimulate a gravitational pull. As a first major step in this direction, a spinning space stationwould allow a means by which to study the long term effects of this kind of environment whilein relatively close proximity to the Earth. It would be the first truly long-duration space habitatever constructed. Contemplating a 20-30 year timespan, beginning in 2015, an
