The purpose of this next section isto provide an example of one such program as a proposed model. The proposed model from theUnited States Military Academy is by no means unique. For example, Rainier [18] outlines aUAS program in place at North Carolina State University. The program differentiates betweenhobby use, routine research, and more experimental use and places procedures in place for allthree. The previously discussed article by Ogan also emphasizes the need for an educationprogram at institutions that plan to employ UAS focused on topics such as safety, flight skills,and judgment.

IntroductionSuppose we wanted to quantify how much more accessible a curriculum becomes whenremoving a prerequisite to a particular course. How would we do it? We could wait a few yearsto calculate the typical metrics related to retention, observing the flow of students through thatportion of the curriculum. On the other hand, a method drawn from graph theory does not requireus to wait. In fact, all we need is the plan of

The inclusion of disparate knowledge is highlighted in the literature. For example,Trevelyan found that the most crucial skill reflected in high performing engineers is coordinatingmultiple competencies to accomplish a goal [3].

Integrating construction guidelines with other sustainability guidelines is anessential part of the whole building design process. To develop and implement theguidelines, the contractor must work with the team, including the architect, engineers,and contractors. Creating the guidelines as a team is helpful for educating contractorsabout sustainability issues and getting their early commitment to follow sustainabilityregulations.

The senior design course is taken bycivil and construction engineering students and includes the preparation of design proposals andpreliminary design of a real-life project.
