design made from a dielectric substrate of printed circuit board, or PCB) was utilized, as it possesses the desired characteristics (resulting from size constraints) of planar geometry and a thin profile (toProceedings of the 2012 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education accommodate multiple antennas in a linear array), the capability of operating at the frequency band desired, and a simple coaxial feed line [2],[3]. The PCB would be a double-sided copper clad FR-4 substrate; an inexpensive, widely available material with a low dielectric constant [4]. Simulation Using CST-MWS [5], the antenna was simulated, tuned and optimized to minimize the reflection coefficient (S11) within the desired bandwidth

While it has not been possible to separate the experiences and perceptions ofengineers from the population of students of all backgrounds, it nevertheless makes sense fromcited sources that engineers would be particularly quick studies in learning these concepts andtools for the reasons presented.

Page 22.1390.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2011 Teaching Entrepreneurship through Virtues1 AbstractThe literature on entrepreneurship has moved from early analysis of the characteristics of theentrepreneur to a wider understanding of
some students’ existing skillsets. For example, a studentmajoring in Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), or Homeland Security might have greatinterest in UAS, but might not feel confident in tackling an engineering design course to learn more. Byproviding a venue where students might explore the intersecting areas of UAS performance, design, flightoperations, and applied research, it is envisioned that a greater number of students will become involved inmultiple facets of UAS/aerospace engineering and operations as a result.Beyond the academic/educational programmatic aspects of the class is the development of a core cadre ofpersonnel to support UAF/Alaska Center for Unmanned Aircraft Systems Integration (ACUASI) flight ops
