AC 2008-38: MODEL BUILDING AND TESTING AS AN UNDERGRADUATERESEARCH APPROACH TO ADVANCING AIR-ASSISTED MARINE VEHICLETECHNOLOGYKonstantin Matveev, Washington State University Konstantin Matveev obtained a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from California Institute of Technology in 2003. He carried out his postdoctoral research at Los Alamos National Laboratory. As a research scientist at Art Anderson Associates, he was working on the development of innovative high-performance marine transportation concepts. Currently, Dr. Matveev is an assistant professor at Washington State University. His research interests include aero-hydrodynamics, dynamics, and propulsion of advanced air-assisted marine

Underwaterrobotics has an added element of difficulty and challenge that students accept and thrive on.Autonomous Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) is a foundation that has fordecades encouraged the spread of unmanned vehicle technology both through professionalconferences and student educational competitions. This group, together with the Office of NavalResearch, has supported for the past 10 years a very successful international competition wherestudent teams design, build and swim

systems• Vulnerability & Survivability Systems – ship vulnerability assessments, shock• Signature & Silencing Systems – acoustics, electromagnetic and magnetic signaturesWe place interns in projects involving all the Core Equities, but certainly placement into theCore Equities is not uniform. Two factors that effect the placement of interns into the Coreequities is the amount of Basic and Applied Research performed in the area and the traininglevel needed for the individual projects in a particular area. A larger cross section of theacademic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields are representedamong the applicants. Certainly the hard sciences are mostly where we recruit for ourlaboratory. The most represented

Technology (ABET). Page 13.1150.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Teaching COGAS Design with MathcadAbstractCombined Gas and Steam (COGAS) cycles show great promise for electrical power generationand ship propulsion. In these cycles, fuel is fed to a conventional gas turbine that is usuallyconnected to an electrical generator. The exhaust gas from the gas turbine contains a largeamount of usable thermal energy. In a COGAS system, this thermal energy is used to producesteam, and the steam is used to generate additional electrical energy. The thermal efficiency ofCOGAS systems can approach 60%, which makes them
