Evaluation techniques such asdecision trees are taught.Personal Creativity and Ethics – Ethics26 is a required element of the Introduction to Engineeringclass, and an ethics lecture is also included as a refresher in the advanced class. Examples ofdifficult ethical situations used in class include the Challenger accident, the Tacoma NarrowsBridge failure of the 1940’s, and the failure of the two Mars Surveyor 98 missions27.

, intended for spinning satellites. Motivation and potentialfunding for the EDPA prototype using microstrip technology, comes from NASA missionsproposed as spinners, such as Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS)2 and Inner HeliosphericSentinels (IHS) 3. As a satellite spins, it provides for its own stability. However, spinningcomplicates the earth-tracking requirement of a satellite-based directional down-link antenna. Forthis reason, the S-band (2-4 GHz) omni-directional antenna has traditionally served on spinners tosimplify data down-link, despite its inefficiency. The proposed EDPA provides an alternativemulti-panel electronically steerable antenna for data down-link, synchronized (in reverse) with thespin-rate of the satellite.4 The EDPA is designed

The desire to make the linking project worth the effortwas just the incentive we needed to finally add these records to the OPAC. I did not have thetime to begin this process until two months after phase two was completed and is still underwayat date of publication.
