engineering can be identified as hard-applied-life. Additionally, themanagerial-based disciplines of industrial/manufacturing/systems engineering can be identifiedas soft-applied-life. While all engineering disciplines require rigorous education, these analysisadjectives tend to be unfairly simplified and colloquially the more social, science-based “lifesystem” disciplines are described as “soft” and the more computational, math-based “nonlifesystem” disciplines as “hard” [17]. Thus, we wanted to understand the anecdotal musings thatwomen are avoiding the “hard” engineering disciplines, like aerospace or electrical engineering,for “soft” engineering disciplines, like chemical engineering or engineering management [18],[19]. Additionally, we

The target audience for this effort is companies and indi-viduals who require better Systems Engineering capabilities, but lack the resources and infra-structure for training. These include second-tier suppliers to the aerospace industry, biomedicalengineering companies, information technology companies, utilities, and any other Californiacompanies that would benefit from better systems engineering processes. Surveys sent to abroad cross-section of California corporations were used to elicit a list of 44 Systems Engineer-ing Competencies. Analysis of these 44 competencies resulted in a core set of critical skills, plusthree Systems Engineering Concentrations: SE Management, SE Processes, and

This is desirable as it is poised for growth and sustainability. At the 2010Nanotechnology Entrepreneurship Forum, there was a consensus among the guest speakersand panelists for the need to move beyond the “Forbes.Com” top ten nanotechnology productsto achieving its true potential in the aerospace, naval and homeland security infrastructuredevelopment.

3Background Studies on Writing in the Engineering CurriculumThe engineering academic world has increased its understanding that it must encourage stronglanguage and written communication skills in its curriculum to generate competitiveprofessionals in today’s marketplace. Pinelli conducted a study that examined technicalcommunication skills of aerospace engineering students in the eyes of practicing professionals inindustry.8 The results of this survey reinforced the importance of language and writtencommunication in transition from academic to industrial communities and offered suggestionsfor facilitating individuals’ transition from student to entry-level engineering professionals.Recognizing the need to improve the language and communication

. However, no trends wereobserved when comparing all tests to support this observation. The experimentally obtainedvalues of electron beam coupling efficiency are lower than values reported in other literature andthe values currently being used in modeling and simulation of the EBF3 process. Having moreprecise coupling efficiency values will lead to more accurate models and simulations andultimately improve the EBF3 system.Introduction Electron Beam Freeform Fabrication (EBF3) is a type of additive manufacturing formetallic parts that is of interest to NASA. The ability of EBF3 to produce near net shaped partsis of value to aerospace manufacturing and long duration space flight. Tailoring of materials andmaterial properties in EBF3 also

problemsthat are associated with civil aviation are almost all of a complex nature whose solution involvescomplex and difficult choices. The study of the environmental impact of civil aviation and of thereduction of this impact appears to be a good way of introducing students to the complexities ofmany real-world environmental problems. It is the development of such a course that is the topicof this paper. The course is not intended just for students in Aerospace Engineering programs butis rather intended to provide students in any engineering program with an introduction to thecomplexity of the environmental problems that an engineer may face.Civil aviation, while not a major contributor to the world’s environmental problems, is takingsteps to reduce

It empowers autonomous systems to navigate efficiently and safelythrough complex environments, avoiding obstacles while optimizing for factors such as time, en-ergy consumption, and mission objectives.1Traditional motion planning solutions often rely on geometric, sampling or optimization-basedmethods to generate feasible and efficient paths from a starting point to a goal point while avoidingobstacles. Among these, graph-based methods, including Dijkstra’s algorithm,2 the A* (A-star)algorithm,3 and D* (D-star) Lite,4 as well as sampling-based methods such as Rapidly-exploringRandom Trees (RRT) and RRT*,5, 6 are among the most widely used solutions.In recent years, deep reinforcement learning (RL) based
