A highly discernable antenna pattern is needed for the receiving function. The on-board power needs for the transmitter are defined by the search limits. Power concerns arerelated to the maximum distance between the operator and the crashed UAV and to the desiredsearch time. The procedure for the transmitter hunt is influenced by the antenna characteristics,the supporting electronics, and the environment. For instance, direction finding is complicatedby obstacles or terrain that block line of sight and introduce multipath reflections. An appropriate frequency of

I shouldn't have made any assumptions when I don't have enough information and when I don't have the expertise in the subject. We were all able to reflect on our different experiences and thoughts. Everyone had a slightly different viewpoint so it was really good to see all sides of the situation in order to learn that much more. It helped me understand the point of the exercise. Up until the group session, I was honestly very frustrated with the project, but hearing why certain things were done helped me understand the point of it more. It showed us the other side

The federal Office of Personnel Management(OPM) places ET under the same broad category, “All Professional Engineering Positions,” thatincludes those with 4-year engineering degrees (OPM, 2012). Technically, this means that somewith 4-year ET degrees from institutions accredited by ABET can be hired by the federalgovernment, but the OPM rules restrict hiring to entry-level jobs (GS-5, pay range $27k-$36k;those with “superior academic performance” may enter at GS-7).Some within the ET field believe that this OPM provision

The most commonly mentionedtype of role model was family members, but some participants also discussed past jobs andfriends. This emergent theme of role model influence is of particular importance as it developedindependent of initial questions. Not all students brought up entrepreneurial motivations outsideof class, but we wondered how many students had family members, friends, or workrelationships who had significantly influenced their entrepreneurial attitudes. Thus, we adaptedquestioning in the second cohort to reflect this emergent them of role models by addingadditional questions. It is important to remember that the redesigned
