His work on his senior design topic, the unmanned aerial surveillance device, eventually evolved into the study of the construction and autonomous control of a Quadrotor UAV. Since then, Babb has gained a keen interest in control theory application in embedded systems, as well as a good understanding of fuzzy logic control algorithms and conventional PID controlers.Prof. Mohamed

testing (NDT) is one of the most powerful and cost-effective techniques forquality and safety control of structures, parts, and products. NDT of materials and components iscrucial to aerospace, naval, railroad, and other industries. For example, aerospace designers andmanufacturers are frequently faced with the need to validate the integrity of structural parts formilitary and commercial aircrafts. Transportation equipment is highly specialized and safetysensitive therefore, it is important that all aspects of a failure are investigated, not only forclassifying the failure mode but also determining its cause from an engineering mechanics anddesign point of view. Similar issues exist in other areas, such as maintenance and diagnostictechniques for

How the course istaught, in other words whether a particular task is handled as a two-week classroom analysis or asa 50-minute lecture, will be decided by the faculty member who is asked to teach the course. Thepanel merely assigns tasks to courses.

The students guide their “product” through the researchand development phases, into production and purification, and finally into analysis and“packaging” of the final product.

As the teams developed the projects from concept and movedtowards implementation, they also needed to think about what and how to design anddemonstrate the project objectives in their game. In other words, teams were not designing agame totally independent of the subject matter involved in their project.
