Specifically, any capstone projects involving 3D printing and Arduinos todesign a quadcopter are investigated and summarized13-23. The paper also attempts to comparethe student’s prototype with other popular commercially available quadcopters, including somecost comparisons24.Description of the Original Master of Science in Electrical EngineeringUniversity’s Master of Science in Electrical Engineeringprogram offers an in-depth understanding of modernsystems design for emerging and evolving technologies.Students experience design projects in digital, spread-spectrum and space communications, CMOS circuitry andcomputer

the current paper.A course in which students applied systems engineering principles to a lunar mining robotproject was described at the 2013 ASEE conference. The authors argue for the “inclusion ofsystems engineering in university-level capstone curricula to improve engineering design.”2Although this project involved an intense competition, it was limited to paper designs, whichlacked the realism of hardware-intensive projects. The claim made in the previously cited studyabout the importance of real hardware was found to ring true.Just last year, a couple of engineering educators from California made the case for integratingsystems engineering into senior design. They claim that the traditional sequence of courses inmost mechanical

work from one semester to the next.Resource for Education The UAV locator problem can support education objectives in several different contexts.The material could be used to the basis for an assignment or case study in a coreelectromagnetics, communications, or systems engineering course to emphasize the interrelationamong technologies in a specific application. A design project or activity could be used in anelective antenna course to emphasize desired performance differences among antennas. Alocator system design could be the focus project for a capstone design team in which teammembers with backgrounds in electromagnetics, communications, electronics, etc. must interact.An extra-curricular activity or competition could use this
