We present case studies on the precursor High Altitude Research Platform (HARP)and two satellites that were deployed in orbit. These two satellites and over 350 HARP studentlaunches to the edge of space (only 2% of earth’s atmosphere pressure at 30km altitude) areexamples of challenging projects which, when managed properly, can have a magnificenteducational, practical, and societal impact.

The authors have used this programto offer research experiences in the electromagnetic areas to 22 students in nine different projectsfor the last three years. In seven of the nine projects the students used the Finite Difference TimeDomain (FDTD) technique for electromagnetics to perform different microstrip structuresimulations. The concepts behind this technique are simple enough for junior electricalengineering students to grasp.

Each team measured 2 x 500 ml of algaeculture into two flasks with stir bars then added the corresponding flocculant and stirred. After 30minutes, students transferred the mixtures to graduated cylinders to settle the flocs for 30minutes. They measured the OD for each reaction using a SDD after flocculation.

Theyasserted that “much of what constitutes the study of entrepreneurship today is borrowed oradapted from other disciplines.” Entrepreneurship emerged “as a business discipline” withtheoretical underpinning from other disciplines including engineering, finance, psychology,sociology, anthropology, marketing, management, and organizational behavior. They furthersought to build a holistic theory of entrepreneurship by integrating the available but seeminglyunrelated body of research comprising 12 main “frameworks.” Moreover, they identified the sixmain components of entrepreneurship to be entrepreneurial process, environment, entrepreneur,resources, business process, and organizational context with entrepreneurial process being thecentral one to which

Third,the opportunity to publish articles on STEM related issues provides students with a highlyengaging and rewarding activity for advancing their skills in independent research, composition,and of the associated STEM methodologies. Studies have shown that a large part of the learningprocess takes place in informal settings, and is a critical component of inspiring interest in STEMlearning.7 The plan for achieving such results includes investigating the appropriate structure ofthese articles through interactions with secondary education teachers

Past research has indicated that compared to traditional instructionalmethods, student-oriented instructional methods such as multi-media case studies that encouragestudent participation and active involvement in learning are better ways to accomplish theseobjectives.

Even though research on learningstyles and guidelines by funding agencies endorse undergraduate research, we find only arelatively small number of undergraduates in mathematics involved in research. The difficulty islikely inherent to the field of Mathematics. For example in order to prove new results in a fieldsuch as applications of Nonstandard Analysis to Functional Analysis, a student would need to beproficient in Topology, Model Theory, Functional Analysis and Nonstandard Analysis. If thisknowledge basis is found in an undergraduate student, the student is usually ready to graduate or Page 10.1458.1pursue graduate
