devices. A PC-to-RC circuit adopted in thisresearch provides a bridge between the control software implemented on the PC andconventional RC transmitter.With this configuration the aerial robot is about the simplest autonomous aerial robot possible.This simplicity makes it easy for students unfamiliar with autonomous aerial robots tounderstand the system, keeps the system cost low, and allows the existence of a truly miniatureautonomous aerial robots. The simplicity also provides engineering challenges, such asnavigating using only the infrequent sensor data from the GPS.Graduate students from the department of Aerospace Engineering are participating in this project,conducted over 10 months. While selected high school students are participating as

fields are mechanical and aerospace engineering. Thesedisciplines can be found in every Department and technical area. For example, theHydromechanics Department is the main user of Aerospace Engineering students as thoseskills translate easily to the needs of that Department’s work. The most diverse Core Equity isStructures and Materials that uses materials science, chemical engineering, physics andchemistry, math. Two areas of note are the Environmental Quality systems which, togetherwith some of the related materials area, have been successful in bringing in biology students.The other is our Machinery Department, which is located in Philadelphia on the site of theformer Navy Yard. They are a strong source of projects for electrical engineering
has been a licensed professional engineer for over twenty years and worked primarily in the aerospace and biomedical engineering fields. He has utilized the capabilities of additive manufacturing for over a decade, originally applying it to space suit and helicopter centered projects. At the Academy, he teaches design courses that include lessons on solid modeling, and additive manufacturing as well as classic subtractive methods such as accomplished with a mill or lathe. He earned his B.E. and M.E. at The Cooper Union, and his Ph.D. at Rutgers University. All are in mechanical engineering.Mary Shalane Regan, U.S. Coast Guard Academy Shalane Regan is a native of Massachusetts and currently resides in Connecticut
