The integration of the disciplines is after all exactly what will beencountered by the students after graduation. The communication between the studentsis never more focused than in the integrated capstone project course. Each student isforced to grapple with the need to communicate clearly in writing, orally, and/or withdrawings with students who have a different frame of reference for the solution and pacefor solving a problem. For example, the electrical and computer engineering technologystudents find it strange that the mechanical engineering student requires considerablymore

Some development of analytical, computational andexperimental learning tools for discovery and skill-building is part of the effort. The theme is toenable development of advanced concepts. Objectives are:• Develop pedagogical resources that guide learning across disciplines for new concepts.• Acquire systematic, transferable experience on how engineers perform in such learning.Universities must look 10 to 40 years ahead and show what is possible to achieve. Recognizingthat graduates must start contributing immediately in the workforce, learners must also beenabled to build immediately-usable skills and confidence. Our project is set in the

The availability of Internet resources, and the growth ofelectronic media brought many new tools and capabilities to the learner and the course designer.More recently, the integration of Distance Learning into on-campus courses has driven thedevelopment of electronic material for many courses, and is causing a rethinking of the qualityand opportunities of on-campus instruction.

These computer-based labs emphasized key concepts from class such as satellitemaneuvering, ground tracks, rendezvous, orbit propagation, perturbations, and constellationdesign. A small table-top satellite, with fully functional subsystems, was also used todemonstrate and reinforce satellite design principles introduced in the text. These principleswere then applied to a preliminary satellite design project. New assessment methods using on-line quizzes measured student learning for every lesson. These on-line quizzes required studentsto prepare for every class. Multiple assessments conducted after the initial offering of this newcourse showed students were much better

In addition, the effect ofcontrol surfaces such as the elevators, rudders and ailerons on the stability and trim conditionsare emphasized.Dynamic Stability and ControlDynamic stability refers to the response of the aircraft to disturbances/inputs over a period oftime. In order to understand dynamic stability, students are introduced to the derivation of theequations of motion for rigid bodies in 3 dimensions. This is followed by a simplification wherelinearized model for an aircraft for particular steady state/trim conditions are obtained. 1. Computation of Stability and Control

The freshman and sophomore year curricula werefound to be highly standardized across the studied programs. Some significant differences werefound in “Intro to Aero” courses or sequences and some universities emphasized the earlyacquisition of computer programming skills more than others.It was somewhat surprising that very few universities offered a true “split” curriculum – a chanceto declare a concentration in either aeronautics or astronautics. Furthermore, the degree of splitwas found to be a continuum – from offering only separate aircraft and spacecraft designexperiences

It was also determined that there wasnot enough electrical capacity for the required computers and air conditioning. It was becomingclear that in order for the project to move forward, approval would be needed for significantroom modifications and electrical upgrades would have to be performed.

engineering as well as technical documentationprovided by previous groups was helpful. An important lesson was learned in how reverseengineering and proper documentation are important in engineering. For example, isolatingdifferent components of the systems such as motors, the Arduino Uni boards, and the relays tosee how the system functions without them. This helped to come up with ideas for improvementsuch as replacing the current potentiometers with better quality logarithmic potentiometers.Debugging a system should start from the simplest problems to solve then advancing to theharder problems. The project stalled twice because of a bad Arduino board, broken potentiometerconnections and improper interface between the computer and the Arduino board
