extensive engineeringanalysis that enhances engineering education both for those developing the simulator and forthose who will use it in design. First, the geometry of the simulator will be mathematicallyanalyzed and defined by the students, which will enable optimal geometries to be solved for tomaximize certain ranges of motion. Then, the dynamics of the system will be simulated usingMATLAB's Simulink technology to confirm the simulator's theoretical dynamic performance,verify the ranges of motion from the students' mathematical analysis, and provide the necessaryspecifications for the motors. Furthermore, structural analysis with SolidWorks will be used tocalculate the factor of safety of the system, which will help properly size the rotary

a variety of technologies and subsystems. Opportunities to understand the iterative aspects of spacecraft design are limited. Methods todevelop students’ awareness of iteration beyond introducing iteration in different design modelsare lacking in engineering education in general, and in aerospace engineering education inparticular. One of the challenges being faced by faculty in the field of aeronautics andastronautics is teaching space systems design and engineering in an effective way. Unliketraditional engineering fields, including the closely related field of aeronautics, teaching spacesystems design and engineering is difficult because of the lack of opportunities to go through anentire cycle from system conception to system

Because of their cheaper cost, UASs can also be used as the entrypoint for many advanced concepts in aerospace engineering. However, academia and industryhave not seen proportionate increase in the number of students pursuing studies for advanceddegrees or entering the workforce in the area of UAS technologies.

Many people interpret this to mean that ABET accredits departments,colleges, or even courses. In reality, ABET accredits programs, and your accreditation workshould reflect the program as a whole.Some programs treat the six-year time lag between visits with the following timeline: - Year 1 – Celebrate success of previous ABET visit. - Years 2-4 – Feel that ABET is a long time away. - Year 5 – Begin to worry about ABET visit the following year, and survey every class imaginable to be ready for year 6 with the
