The week-long workshop afforded himself and fellow par- ticipants the opportunity to build small scientific instrument payloads which were flown on a NASA sounding rocket. The experiments included a battery of sensors that captured environmental readings dur- ing flight. In addition to the workshop, Mr. Baptiste completed an internship with Booz Allen Hamilton in Linthicum Heights, MD. At Booz Allen Hamilton he performed research, test and analyses of Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) portable communication radios.

their freshman year.Desire to participate in these aerospace design teams stems from many factors. Based upon theauthors’ experiences over numerous years in both teaching aerospace courses and leading designteams, student motivation tends to fall into one or more broad categories: (1) Students are lookingfor some means to distinguish themselves academically from their peers. (2) Students arespecifically interested in aerospace, either as a means to accomplish research or as an end in itself.(3) Students desire to have an experience with an interdisciplinary project to broaden their skillsetsand horizons.

They wrote down questions to ask when they had their first meeting with the clientand what type of measurements to take from the client for the initial design. The client provided“candid” information on what caused the amputation, how the client’s life changed since theaccident, how the prosthetic limb affected daily activities, and problems with the

Hired student graders evaluated student code with rubric criteria such as“Lines are not too long” or “Code is not too deeply nested.” We also ran several static analysistools on the same student code to evaluate the same criteria. We then analyzed the correlationbetween the number of static analysis warnings and human style grading score for eachcriterion.Our initial investigation reveals that human graders do not

rover designs. From the initial designs, the team chose a three wheeled UGV with a differential steeringsystem and a rear pivot wheel to allow for precise turning. This design was chosen because the team founddifferential steering to be more reliable than servo or skid steering and because the lack of a fourth wheel allowedfor a reduction in weight. The combination of precise turning and a lightweight design increases the likelihood of asuccessful drive to the delivery destination. To control the UGV, the team decided to again use the Pixhawk 2.1 based on previous flight controllercomparison data (See Figure 8). To control the motors through the Pixhawk, our team researched several differentspeed controller setups before determining that

Although this approach serves well to educate the students with interestsfocused on the area, it doesn’t satisfy the security learning needs of the broader studentpopulation in Computer Science and Engineering.In this paper we discuss the two approaches to undergraduate instruction in computer securitydescribed above, to which we refer as the single-course approach and the track approach,respectively.
