introduce PNMSat/CubeSat [13], [14], [15]mission design in a systems engineering framework and foster leadership development amongparticipants. The objectives of the course catered towards – (i) Introducing Systems Engineeringfor PNMSats, (ii) Engage students in the design of a PNMSat with a novel payload and (iii)Foster leadership and team development through learning stages. The course agenda consisted of3 phases and the following outcomes were sought for assessing the success of the course.1. Demonstrate a basic understanding of PNMSats and their purpose.2. Demonstrate an understanding of systems engineering and its need for the design and development of PNMSats.3. Envision a project life cycle of a PNMSat mission and plan to be successful.4

the Ozobot and then the hardware,the participants developed an appreciation of the importance of planning in problem solving. Whilepreparing for the maze-running, most of the students soon realized to calibrate their Ozobots’responses to the commands such as ‘move 5cm’. Similar planning was observed during theplanning/training phase of the quadcopter obstacle course competition. Participants started lookingat the response of the quadcopter to the commands to identify optimal speeds to drop the ‘aid © American Society for Engineering Education, 2017 2018 ASEE National Conferencepackage’ at the target location.

. There are also several open source computer codes to analyzethe images. Following the lead of Ryerson and Schwenk [7], this paper will outline the setup of acost-effective PIV system suitable for use in undergraduate laboratories. Major components ofthe system will be described and sample results provided. Plans for inclusion into undergraduatecourses and expected learning outcomes are also given.II. PIV System DescriptionA low-cost PIV system can allow students to observe the dynamics of steady and even unsteadyflows. Particles with a density similar to the fluid are selected in order to achieve a homogenousdistribution within a controlled system. A laser produces the high intensity, collimated lightsource necessary for image capturing. The

development14. Theteachers were provided with lesson plans that used the flight simulator to teach some math andscience concepts. These concepts were identified through discussions with some of the teachers ofthe local middle schools during the academic year who also participated in the PD. The input fromthe teachers was an important element of the development process of the learning modules sinceone of the objectives of the project is that teachers should implement the method in theirclassrooms. The selected concepts were then linked to the specially designed hands-on activitieson the flight simulator.Several lessons are planned for development under the grant. In the first year of the grant, thefollowing four lessons were developed with the

concerning the exercises planned for the lesson. On the first daystudents were exposed to design by showing them PowerPoint slides of aircraft and, in particular,pairs of aircraft that were designed for the same mission but that show very different approachesto the design. Having given them some ideas for thought, students, in their teams and without anyaccess to research sources (i.e. internet), addressed the overarching question “What is aircraftdesign?” In short sessions, called Quick Thinks (extended Think-Pair-Share exercise), teamsaddressed a series of questions. The first question, “What is design as it applies to an aircraft?”,prompted the students to develop a definition of design and then specifically how does that applyto aircraft in

students in the 2018-2019 academic year. It is planned to utilize the custom VRflight simulator to assist in motivating students during their aircraft design projects, and provideadditional insight into the aircraft design process. After students get an idea of the size of theiroriginal aircraft, by estimating the power loading, wing loading, drag, lift-to-drag ratio and fuelfraction, the take-off weight can be approximated. This is followed by engine sizing andselection, wing geometry and placement, airfoil selection and tail geometry and sizing. Beforetoo long, the student will be able to “rough out” their original aircraft in X-Plane by specifyingall the necessary design parameters. This will give students the opportunity to take their

This regionis by far one of the most economically disadvantaged, underserved, and rural communities in thestate and nation. In order to meet our targets, ECSU AA site established partnership with schooldistricts, STEM-focused schools, and NC Math and Science Education Network (NC-MSEN)program on campus. Using this
