Thelong term modules are designed to be taught over the course of several weeks, and the short termmodules are designed to be taught in a couple of hours.The module topics range from building strong composite structures to tall towers. The way themodules are structured is that the engineering topic is introduced, students brainstorm ideas,students are broken up into groups and given materials.

High technology companies, such as thethen Martin Marietta, were concerned that many engineers were entering management positionsresponsible for project or development teams or promoted to managers of small departments orwork groups with little preparation. Ironically, these opportunities sometimes came as a rewardfor a job well done for engineering contributions but placed the individual in an awkwardposition. As Matson1 and Lancaster2 have recently reported, and this author observed whileworking in industry, engineers usually find themselves very poorly equipped to take on theirmanagement assignments. To exacerbate this situation, many individuals cannot leave theworkplace for an extended period to obtain the essential management

The camera retains all Toshiba electronics whileutilizing a new and improved system for pan and tilt.

TheToshiba camera gimbal had several setbacks. The stepper motors which controlled the gimbalwere jerky and were not compatible with the stabilization software the UAS department wants touse in conjunction with it. To fix these issues we decided that the
