The studentsdisliked that aspect, and in the future, care will be taken to ensure that all students have theopportunity to participate in all activities.A highlight of the program was an afternoon trip to a local steel mill, which included lunch, atalk about the company and some of the materials problems that they tackle, and a tour of theirrecycling and production facilities. The students were very engaged in the tour and had manyquestions afterwards, particularly about the environmental impact of the facility.Design Project: Model RocketsThe camp

For this study a self-guided tutorial was developed tointroduce the topics of data acquisition. Students at various stages of their undergraduatecurriculum are asked to work through the tutorial. This tutorial is also used in conjunction with across-curricular project involving numerical simulation and experimental validation of heattransfer topics of conduction and convection.

Computer Tomography, Microwave Radars and Ultrasonic Waves are non-optical methods thatare very common in measurement and inspection. Computer tomography is useful to examine internal cavities thatcannot be seen from outside, on the other hand, accuracy with these systems is dependable on material densities thatmay be a problem for different types of materials.

FPGAs consist of two-dimensional arrays of programmable logicblocks that implement logic functions, a programmable routing structure to interconnect theselogic blocks and I/O blocks that allow interconnections with the external world.Compared to other technologies such as Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC), FPGAshave significant advantages. FPGAs can be programmed or reprogrammed in a matter ofseconds, which gives considerable flexibility to the designer.
