AbstractWith current technology advancements, the primary focus on today’s engineering problems is inautomating the systems. This can start from a simple automated temperature monitoring system ina home environment to advance Industrial automation using drones and robots in real-time. Theseadvancements have been a major drive for job opportunities and have opened doors forinterdisciplinary research across all domains of Engineering. Due to the huge scope of theproblems in the current modern world, Engineering solutions are becoming increasingly software-driven. Hence there is a high demand for

-Than-Air] Vehicle design process, from PDR [Preliminary Design Review] through Trial Day (and soon enough, through Race Day), is enjoyable and easy to understand. I wish I could have spent more time working on the blimp. I think the best parts of the course are the projects: the LTA and the articulated figure. I think hands-on time is the most important. Thoroughly enjoyed actually doing the research and working toward understanding the results. Also, enjoyed the oral presentations. The project involving a real case study was the best part by far. The design project is a lot of fun and seems like a real world application of the material. The concept of following one

Drones have a wide range of real-world applications and thefull potential of these devices has yet to be explored by either industry or educators.Drones have an enormous capacity to engage students and facilitate classroom learning. Dronesoffer a challenging platform for existing engineering design modules where students facechallenges in electronics, control, programming and project management.However, one of the challenges facing educators is how to integrate drones within their courses ina meaningful way; so that UAVs are not viewed as mere toys, but as devices that

The course is geared so that technical and non -technical cadetscan team up to perform meaningful work in an engineering design format. In the midstof a unique and often challenging group dynamics environment, the cadets are challengedto find their own solution to an ill-defined problem, and then actually perform hands onfabrication and testing of their project.

The primary goal ofthis course is to expose freshmen engineering students to multidisciplinary projects that teachengineering principles using the theme of engineering measurements in both laboratory and real-world settings. This concept is an inversion of the traditional laboratory curriculum paradigm.The current situation is that freshman programs focus either on a design project or discipline-specific experiments that may not be cohesively integrated. In real-world settings engineers workin multidisciplinary teams on a variety of complex problems. The fundamental principles ofmeasurement and their application are crucial to the solution of these
