This exercise not only helps students to understand and appreciate howtheoretical, computational, and experimental results compare but also an appreciation forstatistical analysis of small samples of experimental data obtained by student groups. Inthis paper, a brief description of the project is presented, a detailed theoretical analysisprocedure to compute buckling loads using both elastic equation (Euler’s formula) as wellas inelastic equation and a simple buckling experiment using an aluminum alloysandwich (honeycomb) test specimen is also described.

Undergraduate students gain experience in system cost and risk improvementin a design support analysis course. A semester-long project forces the students to evaluate adesign for impacts to cost and safety. Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) is one toolused in the aerospace industry to identify risks in products or processes and to act to mitigate oreliminate the risks. Using the SAE ARP5580 standard and SAE’s Reliability Program HandbookTAHB009A for FMEA, students use a structured method to analyze and identify potential failuremodes while evaluating an aerospace

Many pedagogical tools thataim to establish connections between the engineering curriculum and industry practices havebeen investigated and implemented with varying degrees of success, such as project basedlearning (PBL) [2,3] competency based learning (CBL) [4], and inductive teaching [1]. However,adjustments to the curriculum to support these alternate pedagogical tools may still overlook theformat of the corresponding assessment items.

This is oneof ten locations designated by the FAA to spearhead specific technologies related to UAS,according to Hatfield, et.al.[1] The program is able to advance beyond visual line of sighttechnology, which is critical if UAS are eventually able to operate beyond a very small area nearthe operator or with multiple operators able to observe the air

Mid-March 2020, however, COVID-19 forced AE 30 to moveto an online modality. A synchronous online class format was adopted for AE 30 for theremainder of the Spring 2020 semester. In the online class format, students joined a synchronousclass meeting for lecture and another one for lab through the videoconferencing software Zoom.Office hours also became an online Zoom meeting. Instead of walking around lab to answerquestions, the instructor and the few students that attended lab would talk through questions as agroup via Zoom. In the online environment, students were able to share their computer

the fatigue experiments are destructive since weneed to apply cyclic loading until the failure of the structure. Also, fatigue experiments may takea long time since, in some cases, we need to apply a very large number of cycles in order tocause a fracture in the specimen. Both of these issues (i.e., cost and time) are not an issue in VLssince a) it is free for students to run as many experiments as they desire and b) theaforementioned “fast-forwarding” button allows students to conduct all experiments within amatter of seconds. Thus, in the case of the fatigue lab, we can easily plot the S-N curve based onthe VL results, whereas doing so based on the hands-on experiments alone is difficult.6.
