The reason for the use of hydrogen relies on the fact that ithas a higher energy density (120 kJ/g) than commercial lithium-ion polymer batteries (LiPo), thetype of batteries most civilian drones currently use, which only have an energy density of 1 kJ/g.This project was divided into several smaller tasks for its completion: Assembling the drone,preparing a testing flight with only LiPo batteries, testing the HFC and batteries with a parallelcircuit composed of lightbulbs, and finally testing both the HFC and LiPo batteries on the droneto spin the motors without

In particular, there is very little literature to guide instructors insupporting students in online engineering design or project-based courses. The purpose ofthis research is to examine engineering students’ report of social support in their project anddesign-based courses at a large research university during the move to online instruction due toCOVID-19 in the Spring 2020 semester and to provide recommendations for instructors teachingthese types of courses online in the future.
