Social Interdependence ModelAbstractThe Leadership Development Program (LDP) at Southern Illinois University Carbondale (SIU)is a two-year undergraduate experiential leadership development program. Since inception 15years ago, the LDP has a 100 percent post-graduation placement rate. Included in this statisticare the graduates that elect to continue their graduate studies. The Pathways to STEM Leadership(PSL), an NSF S-STEM project at SIU, provides scholarships to support STEM majors’ successin the LPD. Now in its sixth year, the PSL project examines the impact early S-STEM leadershiptraining produces on transformational technical leadership in its graduates. The LDP uses aninstructional approach framed upon Social Interdependence Theory to

It is our intentin this paper to describe the lever analogy method of analysis and to present a miniature‘cookbook’ of levers for various planetary arrangements. It has been our instructionalexperience that the use of this tool not only makes torque and speed calculations easy, but alsoimproves students’ ability to visualize the results and understand the effect of gear tooth ratios.2. Modeling ProcedureThe procedure of setting up a lever system analogous for planetary gear sets is: (1) replace eachgear set by a vertical lever; (2) rescale, interconnect, and/or combine levers according to the gearsets’ interconnections; and (3) identify the connections to the lever(s

The Robotic Arm controller consists offour PIDs (one per joint). 𝐾𝑝, 𝐾𝑖, 𝐾𝑑 for each PID loop is calculated separately.This process can be time-consuming. Alternatively, you can tune all four PID loopssubject to system-level requirements. MATLAB has the tools to calculate PIDvalues. The transfer function of a PID controller is found by taking the Laplacetransform.We can also define a PID controller in MATLAB directly using the transferfunction, for example: Kp = 1; Ki = 1; Kd = 1; C = Kp + Ki/s + Kd*s C

developments in the study of philosophy, engineering and engineering educationThe last decade has been marked by an increasing interest among engineers and engineeringeducators in the philosophy of engineering education. In 2003 there were two major publicationsconcerned with this matter. First, Billy Koen‟s “Discussion of the Method: Conducting theEngineer‟s Approach to Problem Solving” rooted in the use of heuristics that he claimed to beuniversal [1]. Second, Louis Bucciarelli explored the connections between philosophy andengineering especially engineering design, in a book with the formidable title of “EngineeringPhilosophy” [2]. A year later, Goldman argued the case for a philosophy of engineering asopposed to a philosophy of science [3]. A

transferdata in real time.One of the most important components of the communication subsystem is the antenna.Currently most CubeSats typically use patch, slot, dipole and monopole, and reflector antennas[1]. These designs all have their own advantages and disadvantages, but a common disadvantageamong them is their narrow bandwidth ranging from 1% to 45% with comparably low gain.Designing a high gain, ultra-wideband antenna to operate in the S band for a larger transmissionbandwidth may require a size that exceeds the size constraints of the CubeSat, which will requirea deployment mechanism.In this paper, a log-periodic dipole array (LPDA) is proposed. The main advantages of the LPDAare that it has a low voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) of less than

Once a desired result is identified, in this case the goal is to developengineers who are able to use comprehensive systems thinking knowledge and skills to addresscomplex problems, the next step is to determine how the achievement of that goal will beassessed [8]. Such assessment(s) then guide the development of learning activities andexperiences, e.g., methods for teaching systems thinking [8].

mechanicalengineering programs1,2. It is common for the content of such a course to begin with particledynamics. For such analyses the student need only know the mass of the particle(s) involved;usually given in the problem. The course content progresses to rigid body dynamics. With theintroduction of rigid bodies, an understanding of the distribution of the mass within the body isrequired. Typically, however, that said distribution is again given or is readily determined. As aresult, students tend to view the inertial properties of a body as a trivial input to a mathematicalproblem; similar to the length of a connector or the mass of a component. In reality, determiningthe inertia properties of a real structure can be quite challenging.The project presented
