laboratory exercises. After teaching the course twice, the authorbelieves it is very important to have spectrum analyzers in the lab. Ideally, it is good to havespectrum analyzers with built-in tracking generators to facilitate filter characterization. Usingthe spectrum analyzers is important for familiarizing the students with the instruments’ use.A second issue also relates to labs: a method of measuring propagation loss. Although ananechoic chamber would be nice, many schools do not have or have access to such a facility.The author found that free range measurements were an acceptable alternative. Although a large,empty parking lot was used, a grassy field would also be an acceptable location. Either way, atleast one of the spectrum analyzers

astrong electric field to create thrust. The HET is used for many modern space applications, fromstation-keeping on small satellites to long-term travel to faraway asteroids.Electric propulsion, and specifically the HET, integrates many concepts that are fundamental in anundergraduate education such as electricity and magnetism (E&M), material properties, thermalanalysis, and laboratory experimentation. However, the HET is rarely studied below the graduatelevel. As such, we present a path of feasibility for an undergraduate electric propulsion projectbuilding a small, low-power HET, both as a novel vehicle for engaging with introductory physicsconcepts and as a case study of an advanced self-directed project at the undergraduate level.In this

In particular, it relies on the experience of the author in teaching the senior-levelAerospace Structural Design course in the Department of Aerospace Engineering at MississippiState University for nearly two decades.The field of aerospace structures, as a subset of the broader area of structural mechanics, dealswith topics—such as deformation, stress, instability, and failure—that are influenced by thephysical and engineering properties of materials as well as the geometric attributes and boundaryconditions of the structural system. The thin-walled nature of flight structures is a noteworthyfeature that, combined with low-density materials, is critical in reducing the weight of aircraftand spacecraft. For

UAVs are one of the fastest growing sectors ofAerospace Industry. However, there is a lack of professionals entering the workforce. There isalso a lack of students pursuing studies for graduate degrees in the UAV related areas. Thispaper talks about innovative projects and teaching practices designed to increase students’interest and involvement in UAV related projects. Many aspects of UAV technologies are not orcannot usually be taught in classroom
