Engineering department with my bachelor’s of science and will be continuing his education with a master’s of science in finance.Mr. David B. Kanipe, Texas A&M University After receiving a BS in Aerospace Engineering in May 1970, followed by a MS in Aerospace Engineering in August 1971 from Texas A&M University, Mr. Kanipe accepted a position with NASA at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston and began his professional career in November 1972. A month after his arrival at NASA, the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, was launched. Obviously, that was exciting, but in terms of his career, the commencement of the Space Shuttle Program in November 1972 was to have far more impact. As a result, David was able to begin

for two reasons:a. an unmanned aircraft system is a system of systems requiring many disciplines to design, build,and operate, and b. having students from freshman up to seniors ensures “tribal knowledge” ispassed on from year-to-year. The team consists of students from various engineering disciplinesin the college of engineering such as aerospace engineering (AE), electrical and computerengineering (ECE), mechanical engineering (ME), computer science and engineering (CSE),industrial and systems engineering (ISE), and agricultural and biological engineering (ABE). Overthe years, however, there have been students from marketing, accounting, kinesiology, geography,and elementary education. The first team included two high school students

By integrating researchresults into the classroom, many engineering mechanics and mechanical vibration concepts canbe reinforced by (a) analyzing a “real-world” problem through simple mechanical models tosimulate a complex structure and (b) by highlighting the relationships between physical andmathematical models of an actual aerospace structure.I. IntroductionSeveral papers have reported on the importance and benefit of including research into theundergraduate curriculum. Phillips and Schroeder 1 note that undergraduate research thatcomplements course topics is innately interactive and can enable student interest in engineering.Prince et al 2 highlighted the potential of research

Wireless Power Transfer with low side-lobe intensity – needed to avoid desense of terrestrial communications equipment and spectra. 2. Atmospheric Attenuation and Heating – important for comparisons to fossil fuel plants vis-à-vis global warming. 3. Rectenna Design and Emplacement – studying land-use changes, environmental impacts, and costs for receiving antenna arrays in temperate latitudes. 4.

Six students took the course, which was gradedwith the following scale: A—90.00-100%, B—80.00-89.99%, C—70.00-79.99%, D—60.00-69.99%, and F—below 60%. For the overall course, one student earned an A, three earned B’s,and two C’s. There were no D’s or F’s, although two other students dropped the course veryearly in the semester.

However,with communications technology and planning ahead, the group has remained in contact viaweekly remote meetings and has continued to produce effective results for the project. The onlyremaining steps are a recap of the calculations and preparation of a presentation to be made toNASA. This body of work is also intended to provide a foundation for future student projects.References[1] D.

The difference was about one-third of a grade point, for instance,B vs. B–.PLTL became well-established because PLTL could be modified to suit the needs of the studentsand educators. For instance, PLTL might also be conducted during a regular lecture session.Brown and Poor5 investigated the effectiveness of in-class peer tutoring (ICPT). In ICPT, a peerteam leader acts as a teaching assistant for a small group of students during the in-class exercise.The authors reported that more than 80% of students liked the ICPT experience. Furthermore,PLTL allowed students to experience social benefits. Students who participated in PLTLregularly made new friends during the sessions, and these peers
