Teachers may want to consider how their classrooms can become moreinteractive, and what opportunities exist for students to teach each other some of the content(e.g., pairing students so the stronger students share what they’re learning, and they learnto say it in new ways).Reduce distance. Break down the distance between student and teacher by making surethat career mentoring and personal advising are available and your students know whereand how. Encourage students to take risks and see failure as a step toward success.Explicitly discuss the importance of finding mentors in the profession as well as how toidentify possible mentors and how to establish and cultivate relationships with them.Consider

Though there is no current perfect solution forclearing the debris, the AFRL has decided to deploy a drag enhancing device from a satellite payloadto remove the debris.This report presents a finalized design, an Active Orbital Debris Removal (AODR) device for the 2018Air Force Research Laboratory University Design Challenge. Because the test of the AODR devicewill occur on Earth, both gravity and tropospheric conditions will have to be accounted for.Accounting for gravity will be accomplished via a hex copter which will lift the payload off the launchpedestal and deliver the payload to the rocket body. The proposed AODR device will use two cameras,a pair of stereoscopic cameras, a lidar detector

During the first semester, students had 24/7 access to a student-run design studio space, andthe opportunity to work closely with project mentors in small settings, and collaborate with motivated peers. Inaddition, mentors tried to make students apply knowledge that they were acquiring in the second-year classes(structures, environmental, and transport). Hence, there was an intentional overlap of learning outcomes.Students, through the research projects, were acquiring the learning desired for the courses. The program was developed to complement academic’s teaching and research effort and students’curricular and extracurricular time. The program allows students and academic to spend more time
