advances in virtualreality (VR) tools – including inexpensive hardware and open source software, there is anopportunity to incorporate the use of virtual environments into this traditional course and bridgethe disconnect between classroom material and realistic flight dynamics and controls. This paperoutlines the development of a virtual reality environment to aid in teaching the design andevaluation of flight controllers using classical control techniques. This environment is beingdesigned to provide a collaborative space where user(s) can manipulate the locations of poles andzeros of a controller for a dynamic system (such as an aircraft) and visualize its response. Such anenvironment will enable the user(s) to visualize how controller design

. Students in the upper division wereuncomfortable in a socially ambiguous situation as compared to students in the lower division. Thedata analysis did not suggest a correlation between the scores on the tolerance of ambiguity surveyand the engineering identity survey. The freshmen students’ intellectual models were toward thehigher levels and not the simple dualistic level.The surveys will be administered to additional (STEM and non-STEM) students, especially upperdivision students to have a better understanding of tolerance of ambiguity, development ofcognitive model and engineering identity.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by NSF Grant# 1832041.References1. https://recruitingdaily.com/why-the-u-s-has-a-stem-shortage-and-how-we-fix-it-part

theoretical data.In addition to enduring outcomes (Table 2) and the important-to-know topics (Table 3), the labactivities also promote “good-to-be-familiar with” topics as follows: Students are expected tolearn and demonstrate the following topics throughout all six labs: Teamwork, report writing,and communication. If we, for instance, take modeling as an example, being able to modelconstitutes an important and direct predictor of conceptual understanding of often-complicatedengineering topics, such as heat transfer [42]. To sum up on these “good-to-be-familiar with”topics, they are covered in all labs (Labs #1–#6) and will become a part of necessary skills as apracticing engineer in the future no matter what field of engineering s/he choose to

proceedings and journal articles and others are still in progress [12-16]. It is expectedthat some of these projects will result in securing further external funding. When students areinvolved in conducting a research study, they also participate in writing the findings in the paperand therefore get a chance to become authors of scholarly research publications. 6. Student PerspectivesSeveral students that work on various projects in the lab were asked questions about the usabilityof the lab. Following are some of the questions and their responses. a) What are the benefits / dis-benefits of having the AERO lab on campus? “Providing a space for students to meet and have access to computer capable of CAD, a spacefor more advanced machine(s) to be

vn ≈ vth = = 350 m s−1 (4) mArFor the electron density, we assumed the electrons to be an ideal gas at standard pressure and theaforementioned estimated temperature of 35 eV = 4.1 × 105 K. This corresponds to a numberdensity of 1.8 × 1022 m−3 . This was on a similar order of magnitude to electron densitiesdescribed in Goebel. 5The ionization rate could be determined only through empirical tables. We found one such tablepublished by Chung et al. 8 The closest temperature tabulated was 32 eV, with a correspondingionization rate of 3.112 × 10−14 m3 s−1 .With these values in place, the mean free path came out to λ = 630 nm.

analysis/design principles for UAVs are very similar to the principles developed over the years andused successfully for the analysis/design of manned aircraft. A UAV designer need to know how to integratecomplex, multi-disciplinary systems, and to understand the environment, the requirements and the designchallenges. A UAS is much more than a reusable air vehicle or vehicles. The UAS includes five basicelements: 1. The Environment in which the UAV(s) or the Systems Element operates (e.g., the airspace,the data links, communications system). 2. The air vehicle(s) or the Air Vehicle Element. 3. The groundcontrol station or the Mission Control Element. 4. The payload(s) or the Payload Element. 5. The launchand recovery systems which includes the
