Application of Risk Management Principles to Assess Unmanned AerialVehicle (UAV) Routing Options and Other Hazards for Commercial Delivery in Urban Areas Kevin J. O'Donnell Farmingdale College, State University of New YorkAbstract The FAA currently restricts the operation of small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (sUAVs)by requiring the UAV (drone) pilot to maintain visual contact with the UAV, that is, restrictingoperations to line-of-sight control. This limits the operation of UAVs to a very short distance,which is not conducive to commercial deliveries, especially in an urban setting with numeroustall buildings. However, some commercial operators have

Structuring Senior Design for Entrepreneurs Ken Ports Florida Institute of TechnologyAbstractThe Senior Design course taken near the end of an engineer’s undergraduate tenure isincreasingly recognized as a “capstone” activity, enabling these future professionals to applytheir collegiate education and experience in a team environment to solving real world problemsor to creating new capabilities. Ideally, Senior Design teams are also cross-functional, tobroaden the projects and better replicate the professional world. In addition, there is a growinginterest in linking Senior Design with entrepreneurial activities, even to the point ofcommercializing

submissions from studentswhile battling the double-edged sword of the autograder. While autograders can provide feedbackto students quickly, students can become reliant on the autograder as the primary means fordetermining correctness of their code. In a similar spirit, instructors also frequently promotesubmitting early and not waiting until the last second. To encourage students to submit fewererroneous submissions and completing programming assignments earlier, we examine a policychange in lab submissions from time-restricted submissions to point-restricted submissions,implemented in consecutive semesters of a large Computer Architecture course. We surveystudents on their initial perception of the two policies, then survey students on their
