spent rocket bodies and other debris from LEO. 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

For the freshmanstudent, online learning is most suitable for factual type learning or less challenging learningactivities [12].F2F would be recommended for intensively challenging, high-benefit learning activities.

computer-based models at theexpense of physical models. This fact is behind a general trend of teaching applied engineeringsubjects with minimal students’ involvement with physical set-ups including laboratoryexperiments. Carrying out laboratory experiments and generating experimental data, visiting aproject site, and using pencil and paper to produce a schematic, are gradually fading away. Thesetraditional tools were instrumental in developing an engineering common sense. It is argued herethat generating data from physical models is potentially a great learning tool, particularly whenthe model is built by the students. Building a model, testing a model, generating physical datafrom the model, and analyzing said data, help students alternate

Itwas found that 85% of the participants continued on to postgraduate education after finishingtheir undergraduate research. On the other hand, a small portion of the participants who didn’tcontinue to postgraduate studies also reported comparatively poor gains from their undergraduateresearch experience. Learning laboratory techniques, understanding the research process andreadiness for more demanding research were some of the positive effects of undergraduateresearch experience mentioned in the survey.
