FlexibilityThe NASA Administrator’s Fellowship Program allows flexibility on the startingdate. This is a conducive to the individual faculty’s schedule to return to theinstitution on the anticipated date upon completion of the fellowship at a NASAcenter.Results and Outcomes1. Management and LeadershipManagement and leadership skills are developed via individual standing on theproject(s) and exercising necessary freedom of work ethics. Flexible schedule ofworking is a great advantage for the fellows. Often the fellows take advantage ofenjoying working during the weekends without hesitation. The gathering of thefellows administered by the UNCFSPC gives an opportunity to know each otherand may lead to future collaborations. This expansion of horizon

has an early history associated with a need for the course and the development of thecontent to teach the science and skills of technical communication. The course also has a recenthistory and a recent rapid growth in the number of students taking the course. We will reviewboth.Early HistoryThe concept for the course began in the late 1980’s. At that time, the College of Engineering hada writing center to help students and professors in engineering to improve writing skills and tointegrate intensive writing into classes. Jean Ann Cantore, Director of the EngineeringCommunications Center, and James Gregory, Professor in Agricultural Engineering, developedthe initial course for improving professional communications. They experimented with

Because of this, it is imperative thatcomprehensive and accessible indexing tools are available to search the NACA / NASAliterature.Purpose of the paperIn order to find and retrieve these reports, NACA / NASA has developed various indexes, first inprint and now online. In addition, commercial database vendors have developed products whichindex some of the NACA / NASA produced documents. This paper samples the NACA / NASAliterature and evaluates the ability of five databases to index that literature. The purpose of thestudy is to determine the best database(s) for librarians and

The second category describes how a person processes information.People who process data with their senses are referred to as Sensors (S), and a person who seeswhere data is going in the future is called an iNtuitor (N). The Sensor versus iNtuitor category isan interesting area of study when it comes to engineering education, because professors arehistorically intuitors while most engineering students are sensors50.

Numerous studies were reported in thepast by analyzing the ‘instantaneous structure’ of the mechanism in different orientationsto identify the most critical orientation(s) of the mechanism and the high stress or highdeflection locations in the members of the flexible mechanisms. Several special purposecomputer programs have also been written by different academic and industry researchersthat address this issue to some extent1,2 (for example), but there seems to be no evidenceof an undergraduate course that combines these two approaches. Simplified theory thatcovers the important mechanism design and FEA concepts can be complimented byvalidation using simulation tools. This may be a good starting point
