They are, however, able to provide the designer with an idea of physical, ergonomic,and other properties of a particular component before it is send for production. There currentlyexist four accepted methods of Rapid Prototyping: a) Stereolithography (SLA) b) Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) c) Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) d) 3D Printing.

Of the 45quarter credits required for the degree, 30 must be earned at Drexel University, including 24credits of Engineering Technology (ET) courses. A maximum of 15 transfer credits may beallowed for graduate courses taken at other institutions, if they are appropriate to the student'splan of study.Program Curriculum (45 post-baccalaureate credits)The program is based on Drexel’s eleven-week quarter system. Core courses are developed forthe MSET program specifically. Several elective courses are adapted from other graduateprograms in the School of Technology and Professional Studies.

Finally, on average, the students obtained a B-/C+ in the assessed class (M = 2.52, SD =1.27).The low-point value assignments obtained were originally classified as: homework; quizzes;writings for discussion on the class website; participation points; weekly in-class assignments; andpapers. For the purposes of the below analyses, these were further subdivided into: 1) quizzes andhomework (116 students, or 62.0% of the total sample); 2) in-class assignments (weekly in-classassignments and participation points; 43 students, or 23.0%); and 3) writing assignments(discussion postings and

The mission can be broken into five mainphases: The pre-launch phase, the countdown phase, the launch-ascent phase, the descent phaseand the data recovery phase. The block diagram and code listing are color coordinated toindicate these phases.The pre-launch phase begins when the battery is connected to the main PCB. The MCU powersup and configures the analog and digital inputs and outputs. The MCU then enters sleep mode toconserve battery energy. This gives the operator time to stow the sensors and the main PCB,install the nose cone section, and place the rocket on
