Cost-Sharing Pamela M. Norris Executive Associate Dean for Research Frederick Tracy Morse ProfessorDepartment of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA 22903 What is cost sharing?• Cost Sharing represents the sponsored project or program costs (direct and indirect) that would normally be borne by the sponsor but instead are covered by the institution or a third party, such as a subcontractor or an unfunded collaborator Mandatory Cost Sharing• Required by the sponsor• Demonstrated in the proposal• Typically is explicitly referenced in an award document• Must be properly documented and tracked for cost accounting and

Furthermore, the applications courses “close the loop” by reemphasizingsystem level concepts and exploiting the deep analytic tools developed earlier. The program culminates in athesis that addresses an immediate aerospace communication problem. In addition to a detailed description ofthe AFIT communication engineering program, this paper explores the potential academic alternatives thatmerging technologies and techniques demand. I.

. The practice of repackaging or re-purposing has longbeen used in many industries, including the music, auto, and aerospace industries. In the auto and aerospaceindustries, the same components are used in many different models. In the music industry artists and producerswill record and market several versions of a popular song. Similarly with multimedia in engineering, the visual ,components, which are the most costly and time consuming to produce yet are vitally important could bere-purposed for the engineering technology market. The text and other supporting materials could be modifiedto be less equation-intensive. This could greatly reduce

Despite this positive outlook, however, the number ofengineering degrees awarded during the same time period is expected to remain stable. Evenmore disturbing is the realization that the number of students who plan to major in engineeringupon college entrance has decreased.According to the ACT policy report Maintaining a Strong Engineering Workforce, among themore than 1.1 million seniors in the class of 2002 who took the ACT Assessment collegeentrance and placement exam, fewer than 6% planned to study engineering in

To be successful these industries have embraced a global supply chain and a rateof technology change that presents enormous challenges to the regional workforce.Between 1990 and 2000, although aerospace manufacturing employment in Connecticutdropped by 45%, productivity increased and wages for the average aerospacemanufacturing worker went up 63% to $68,737.

design experience. For this purpose, all seniors mustcomplete a two-course design sequence (BME 455, 469). In keeping with the model usedby other undergraduate programs (mechanical and aerospace engineering) in the parentDepartment of Mechanical, Aerospace and Biomedical Engineering, the first (fallsemester) course is a two-hour course while the following spring course is a four-hourcourse for a total of six semester hours of senior design. With the consistent formatstudents enrolled in any of the three departmental majors can petition to utilize any of thethree design course sequences in their curriculum depending on their technical interests.As is true with any curriculum, the major challenge is to design and administer eachindividual course

electronics instruction.A number of commercial resources are available that allow one to build and test various circuitsinvolving electronic components. In the best scenario, we would like each student to have ageneral electronics "kit" such as those available from the local electronics store to work with ontheir own. In practice, we are constrained to one or more electronics workstations in a laboratorysetting with one or more dozen students and often one instructor or teaching assistant. In such anenvironment, some significant difficulties arise.In Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the University of Virginia, for many years weprovided workstations using standard commercial circuit prototyping or "protoboards" forconstruction of various

engineering design experience aimed at a design course that iscollaborative, multi-disciplined, hands on, aerospace industry focused, and helps studentsidentify strengths and weaknesses they may have when working in team environments [1][2].While focusing on aviation projects, the faculties from both the engineering and aviationprograms seek to address the issues faced by students in both programs in a way that benefits thestudents. Practical projects provide the students with the understanding that their work isaddressing a relevant industry need. Additionally, design projects such as this one introducesstudents to the type of group dynamics that they are likely to encounter at their future sites ofemployment where they will be expected to perform
