Eachdomain is covered through an education unit and explores engineering concepts such as friction,displacement, and torque through hands-on activities, guest lecturers, and field trips. Hands-onactivities consisted of building an electrical circuit, a demonstration in 3D printing, and engagingin a robotics competition. Guest lecturers were external (and internal) entities working indifferent engineering domains, such as aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, and a visitfrom a surveying company. Field trips consisted

As reliable sensors are essential to the SHM framework for successfuldamage detection, there has been growing interest to suggest novel sensor technologies 1,2. Ryu3invented MLO to be used as a self-powered strain sensor for unmanned aerial vehicles to minimizeenergy consumption by the sensor network. While MLO-based sensors show potential for broad futureuse, further design optimization is needed to overcome primary limitation of MLO, such as the highstrain threshold for ML light emission limiting readiness level for monitoring of aerospace structures.In this study, a conceptual design of a functional building block for SAMs is presented to achieveglobal-to-local strain amplifications

Summary and Conclusions In conclusion, by examining the ways animals have evolved to keep themselves safe from harm, itis possible to develop drones which employ similar tactics. This is especially valuable to the militarywhich uses drones for dangerous and sensitive missions. By keeping these drones safe, their tasks willbe completed in a timely manner without compromising valuable information. References1.
