-integrated vehicle system.Advancements in aerospace technology are exciting and beneficial spin-offs from this effort.Cadets are performing leading-edge research and development in hybrid rocket propulsionsystems that use solid fuels and liquid oxidizers for propellants. A small piston oxidizer pump isbeing developed to negate the need for highly pressurized vessels. The rocket system willemploy lightweight composite propellant tanks, integral to the structure, to reduce mass andenhance the overall system performance. A peripheral interface controller (PIC) chip will beused to store sensor data and to initiate key flight events.As with any significant curriculum effort, developing a rocket system with undergraduatestudents can be a formidable task
Session 2526 Undergraduate Research Participation in the Experimental Aerodynamics Group Narayanan Komerath Professor, Aerospace Engineering Georgia Institute of TechnologyAbstractIn the 1980s, the idea of faculty spending time to guide undergraduates in research projects wasstill considered to be rather risky in the traditions of the tenure track. This paper discusses thecrucial role played by undergraduates in the research programs of the ExperimentalAerodynamics Group at the School of
the Space Coast of Florida (National Center,aerospace) will capitalize upon that growth. The state currently needs 2,000 to 5,000 automotivetechnicians; this number is expected to grow annually as the number of vehicles and theircomplexity increase5-8. Projected growth for automotive technician occupations in SC isexpected to be 8% for the period 2008-2012.1.1.1 Automotive Industry Page 22.1418.3The current automotive industry in South Carolina is strong and thriving with more than 275automotive-related companies located in the state, from Original Equipment Manufacturers(OEM) to an expansive Tier One and Tier Two network of suppliers.

-axialloading, tensile tests were conducted on aerospace grade fasteners. The fasteners were loaded inpure tension, pure shear, and in mixed loading between 0° and 90° in 15° increments. The normaland shear displacement of the fasteners were recorded along with the corresponding force appliedto the test fixture. The data collected from these experiments showed that the fasteners in tensiondominated loads failed at significantly higher loads as compared to fasteners in shear dominatedloading. IntroductionThe importance of fasteners in mechanical assemblies cannot be understated [5]. However, thissignificance is not reflected in the reasonably limited published works and technical papers onquasi-statically

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.
