design to develop a clear,concise set of requirements. Because those requirements can and often do change – an eventcalled “creep” – this uncertainty increases the risk at the beginning of the design process. Theinability to manage uncertainty during the initial stages of design can lead to cost overruns,scheduling slips, re-designs, or program cancellation [3]. The ability to add information in theearly stages of conceptual design can decrease the risk during the design process and increase thelikelihood of success [4].Creep and uncertainty have affected the development times of major programs since the 1970s[3]. Recent large-scale programs have averaged 14.2 years for systems such as the F-35 JointStrike Fighter, the F-22 Raptor, and the B-2
whatspecific approach we choose to pursue for the VL implementation, the objective of creating theVL space remains the same: VLs must improve the quality of education for students, which isthe thesis of the virtual lab project. In order to achieve this thesis, we want to answer thefollowing research questions. a) How did students perceive VLs? b) What connections did students make between VLs and Physical Labs?2. Literature ReviewOne of the earliest use of VLs in higher education was Project Athena at Massachusetts Instituteof Technology (MIT) [1]. Project Athena began in 1983 to improve the educational quality forstudents at MIT. In Project Athena, MIT researchers used the philosophy of“gedankenexperiment” (German for “thought experiment”) [2], a
. Aircraft is a1915, in a two-seater float plane on Lake Curtiss Reims Racer. Pilot is Charles K.Washington. Boeing caught the flying bug, Hamilton. (http://www.historylink.org)and soon decided to start producing his own airplanes. Together with Navy Lieutenant ConradWestervelt and Herb Munter, Boeing designed and built his first airplane, a float plane namedthe B&W. Shortly thereafter, on July 15, 1916, Boeing incorporated his aircraft manufacturingbusiness as Pacific Aero Products Company, a name he changed to Boeing Airplane Companythe following year. In early 1917, Boeing hired two students, Clairmont L. Egtvedt and Philip G.Johnson, from the University of Washington, to be his engineering staff. Though

. Other designs were preparedfor auxiliary structures such as the canister holding the payload, interfaces to the rocket skin and to therocket ports. The third phase centered on electrical circuit (schematic) design using SPICE and similartools, and PCB design using ExpressPCB, Eagle, and Altium. While some of these custom circuits werebased on RockOn designs and vendor and textbook examples, they evolved significantly over thesemester (Fig. 6). The mechanical and electrical drawings were presented along with other projectinformation in three major design reviews each fall semester: a) the conceptual design review, focusingon the experimental goals and representing subsystems as functional block diagrams; b) the preliminarydesign review

Wing-Body, the Oblique Wing and the B-2 bomber (regardless of their maximum speeds) suggest that ideas for larger-volume, innovative configurations are not lacking.• Even with large increases in fuel prices, airline ticket prices have not increased much. This suggests that low-supersonic flight with a high-demand market and hydrogen fuel will not require first class ticket prices as has been commonly believed.• In the longer term, hydrogen being unlimited in supply, fuel costs should come down, so that the cost should settle to make coach-class ticket prices viable.2.4 Summary of IssuesThe problem is distilled to the following questions for consideration by undergraduates:• What is the drag implication of using hydrogen

The cameras are mounted in locations deemedsuitable for the application; the cameras are connected directly to the USB ports on the OptiHub.Due to the setup of cameras, the supporting structure of the cameras is susceptible to vibrations andtemperature changes from the environment. Currently the a few cameras which are very sensitive tovibrations and external motion are the two mounted on tripods.
