fabrication of the Berkut UAV for Geneva Aerospace, and engine fairings for the U.S. Army. He was the test conductor during the UltraLight Sensor Platform project, which was a research initiative to develop an ultralight sensor platform by creating an optionally-piloted aircraft system. As test conductor he wrote the flight test plans, flight test cards, and supervised the flight test team during test missions. He advises the Student UAS Team. He teaches the capstone aircraft design course, aircraft flight dynamics, and aircraft advanced performance. He has since left Raspet and transitioned to the aerospace engineering department. He is also developing the unmanned aircraft system engineering curriculum

American Society for Engineering Education, 2016 Preparing Aerospace Engineering Students for Career in UAV TechnologiesAbstractUnmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have potential of reducing human casualty and cost formany dull, dirty, and dangerous missions. 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

by doing” is essential as science and technology change at a very fast pace. 5. Learning is an individualized process as each student has unique preferences while still being enrolled in an integrated environment. 6. Networking is essential as students need to practice and master belonging to community. 7. Learning is a global activity. Boundaries within cultures and languages impede advancement. 8. Students are mentored in clearly identifying the “purpose” of learning. Problem and project based learning strengthens intrinsic motivation; thus field experience is extremely valuableSimilar to ours, multiple institutions of higher learning in the United States are realizing that theconventional means of teaching may

As a final note we suggest that all industries in engineering andtechnology would benefit greatly from this cross-discipline approach to evaluating cyber-securityearly within the educational process.IntroductionAs we advance in the information age we are increasingly aware of the threat that cyber-terrorists pose to United States government and military networks around the world. In the past,information technology did little more for the government than to aid government offices inadministrative tasks, but has now become a critical part of military operations globally. The U.S.military cyberspace infrastructure is made up of tens of thousands of networks and

. Equipped with reaction wheels similar to what could be foundon a SmallSat class spacecraft, a MicroElectroMechanical Systems (MEMS) inertialmeasurement unit, and simulated attitude sensors, the attitude test-bed allows for realistic attitudecontrol in the presence of noise. The system is integrated with MATLAB to make controlling it assimple as possible for students without extensive hardware programming experience. This systemhas been used to implement attitude estimation algorithms as part of a independent study andattitude control as part of a hands-on project to augment a graduate-level spacecraft control classthat has relied solely on lecture and simulated work in the past. This paper details the design andconstruction of the attitude test

solution.Another difference in expert and novice approaches to engineering design is their awareness of reasonsbehind a particular design solution.6 Expert designers generally have a larger problem space and are ableto refer to past projects to find similar designs. They are also able to consider the tradeoffs betweenmultiple design solutions.6,9 Further, expert designers identify and consider the relevancy of a topic insolving complex design problems.6 Conversely, novice engineering designers aren’t always aware of theinformation they lack to adequately solve the design problem.6In engineering education, Atman et al has conducted research to examine the design processes utilizedby student engineers.10-12 This research has shown that the engineering

There is only one world, but it is a world we experience, a world in which we live, a world that is ours’. The seminal research that developed phenomenography as a research methodology, forexample, investigated students’ understanding of velocity in a physics class[9]. Velocity was theconcept or “the thing”, but the researchers were actually interested in how students understoodvelocity, which is “the thing as it appeared”. It was the students’ understanding that was thephenomenon of research interest. In aerospace engineering, Subject Matter Experts are important assets to projects, andSMEs have deep

structures and materials in the School ofAeronautics and Astronautics at Purdue University.As previously noted, the difference between our activities and PLTL/SI was that our TA-ledsupervised homework session used the assigned homework problems from the lecture to learnconcepts on structural mechanics, whereas the previously-reported projects used supplementalmaterials to teach the materials. More specifically, in our research, a problem was discussed bythe TA using a document camera and projector. Since no small group activities were involved,the TA-led supervised session was not a cooperative learning session.As the TA led the session by showing the key concepts needed to solve the problems, the TAcontinually asked questions on the important ideas

active learning exercises as Activities 1-5. Activities 1-3 wereimplemented as in-class activities. Due to time limitations, Activities 4 and 5 were integratedinto the lectures. In future course offerings, all activities will be in-class, team (2 or 3 students)exercises.An overview of the research project was given to the class at the beginning of the semester. Asthe course progressed, more in-depth presentations and discussions regarding the relevant topicsfollowed. For example, during the portion of the course in which vibration measurement wascovered, a presentation detailing the experimental method was given. This included discussionof the components of the test fixture, data acquisition system, and measurement sensors such asaccelerometers
