Studentsentering the program should have a bachelor’s of science degree in one of the disciplines above, thoughsoftware engineering graduates may need additional preparation in mathematics. This program isunique in its extensive use of modeling and simulation.The MSSE was subsequently extended to the online modality and later taught out for that modalitywhile continuing to thrive at the main campus. It will be re-introduced for online in 2016. This programis rooted in mathematics and is substantially hands-on, making much use of simulation and analysistools.

, simulate, and construct VHF direction-finding antennas that theyuse for a transmitter-hunt exercise [1]. Amateur radio clubs conduct similar transmitter or “fox”hunt activities for their members to improve their technical knowledge and to practice theiroperator skills [2,3]. Amateur radio can be a convenient tool for supplementing engineeringeducation in many areas, including antenna theory [4]. These antenna-locating activities can beapplied to the emerging proliferation of UAVs in modern society. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), or unmanned aircraft systems (UASs), have beendeveloped and purposed for civilian, military, and recreational activities [5].

opportunity todemonstrate their engineering prowess. The problem was that there was much engineering workleft to be completed on the project, and there were not enough students and faculty committed tothe work. In addition, the students who were committed to the project did not have enough timein their busy schedules to satisfactorily complete the prototype. As the situation was discussed ina faculty meeting two days before the start of that fall semester, an idea began to form in themind of a faculty member who is also the primary author of this paper.Having had seven years of experience in the aerospace industry with Hughes Aircraft Company,Space and Communications Group, working in the area of satellite dynamics and controlsystems, this author

However, there is a need to executeeffective systems architecture now, and that means that for the foreseeable future the capabilitiesof the humans-in-the-loop will dominate the outcomes of each modeling effort.Merriam-Webster defines craft as “an occupation or trade requiring manual dexterity or artisticskill.” [3] Ryan Noguchi of Aerospace Corporation states: “System modeling is not aconceptually simple or straightforward task.
