It is the purpose of this paper to encourage the use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) for the development of interdisciplinary engineering education projects. The use of UAVs is an excellent tool to gather students from various engineering and science fields. This paper explores the different features that a four-rotor UAV is used for STEM education including the training of undergraduate students...
Buoyancy-driven underwater gliders (UGs) have proven to be quite effective for long-range, long-term oceanographic sampling. However, current off-the-shelf UGs are large, heavy, expensive, and difficult to modify, both in hardware and software, which prevents their frequent use for lake observations and limits researchers' ability to perform multi-vehicle coordination experiments. Our current research...
In June 2009, Memorial University of Newfoundland began a project involving multiple disciplines of its Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science exposing students to the many aspects of autonomous vehicle development. Combining the skills of teams from the disciplines of Ocean and Naval Architecture, Electrical, and Mechanical engineering, students were able to design and build a prototype of an...
