Reflection:
One thing I found pretty interesting while comparing and contrasting the controller positions was the process in which they work together. Once the clearance delivery/flight data controller receives a filed flight plan, a piece of paper is printed out which gives a summary of what the pilot is cleared for. This piece of paper is typically passed around to the ground controller to have “controls” over the aircraft being taxied, and then passed to the local controller to show they have “controls” and the aircraft is ready to depart. When I went on a tour the Air Traffic Control tower here in Provo, they used a similar system. Except they have magnets of the local aircraft which they use to track the location of throughout KPVU. This helps them because of the high traffic of UVU’s aircraft and the flight academy. The smaller airports, such as Provo, tend to only have 1 or 2 controllers working in the tower at the same time. Because this is a smaller airport, the controllers manage to handle all 3 of these positions at once. How are they different?
Each have different roles as to what they are responsible for. This is important especially
at larger airports where there are multiple pilots calling each positions to gather their clearances. How are they alike?
These positions are alike because they all work in the ATCT environment.

The Weather Monitor. Your South American expedition splits into two groups: one that stays at home base, and yours that goes off to
set up a sensor that will monitor precipitation, temperature, and sunlight through the upcoming winter. The sensor must link up to a
central communications system at base camp that simultaneously uploads the data from numerous sensors to a satellite. In order to
set up and calibrate the sensor, you will have to communicate with base camp to give them specific location information.
Unfortunately, the group's communication and navigation equipment has dwindled to walkie-talkies and a compass due to a river-raft
mishap, which means your group must not exceed the range of the walkie-talkies (3.0 miles). However, you do have a laser rangefinder
to help you measure distances as you navigate with the compass. After a few hours of hiking, you find the perfect plateau on which to
mount the sensor. You have carefully mapped your path from base camp around lakes and…

An emergency stop system is to be designed for a certain automatic production machine. A single "start" button is used to turn on the power to the machine at the beginning of the day. In addition, there are three "stop" buttons located at different locations around the machine, any one of which can be pressed to immediately turn off power to the machine. (a) Write the truth table for this system. (b) Write the Boolean logic expression for the system. (c) Construct the logic network diagram for the system. (d) Construct the ladder logic diagram for the system

The aim of task 2 is to design a simulated obstacle detection sensor system for a mobile robot platform. You
should assume your chosen sensors will be placed on a small mobile robot platform as designed in task 1.
The sensor system must be able to detect objects within the range of 0mm to 1000mm and have a field of
vision of 90 degrees (see diagram below). You may need to use multiple sensors to achieve the desired
specification.

Conventional float actuated device is used as a level measurement sensor, which consist of pulley and a pointer which move over a graduated scale. Let say you are asked to develop a controller-based float actuated system having a sensor for level measurement or may be more than one sensor is required for accurate level measurement, which sensor will you use and why? Draw the whole schematic showing the position of the sensor or sensors. Will pulley be part of your new digital system, if yes justify your answer, if no, then how you will develop a system without using pulley.

Four months into a six month deployment, you are a solo pilot returning to home base after an uneventful overwatch mission to a non-disclosed desert
location. Your mission was extended 90 minutes requiring at least one additional aerial refuel. The moon has now set. A shift in prevailing winds causes an
infrequently used runway to be active. You are less familiar with the approach to this runway and have only used it during VFR conditions. The instrument
approach plate reveals you will fly a prolonged DME arc taking you out over the unlit desert away from the dimly lit base.
While flying the above instrument approach, you take another look at the approach plate. When you look up again the airfield lights are visible through the
upper portion of your canopy. You did not sense any change in your aircraft attitude. Which of the following best describes what happened while you looked
at the approach plate?

As an engineer responsible for monitoring works in the area of mechanical systems, you must evaluate the following situation: a large client in the retail area has a refrigeration system where it stores some chilled or frozen products to be sold on the sales floor.Recently, the customer's maintenance department has been questioning the system's performance and requested an evaluation of the system's behavior. You went to the location and requested some information from the maintenance manager about the system, who provided the following data: - The system operates with R-134a refrigerant;- The refrigerated environment is maintained at 0°C and the external environment at 26°C;- The refrigerant flow rate in the system is 0.08 kg/s; In addition to the data provided, you carried out some tests and measured the temperature of the refrigerant fluid at some specific points in the system, such as the compressor inlet and condenser outlet, finding values of 0°C and 26°C respectively.…

A pick and Place machine is being used to transfer a box.
The arm is extended (out) by energizing a solenoid valve; when the valve is de-energizes, the arm retracts (in). In the same way, a second valve closes the grip (when energized) or opens
the grip (when de-energized).
Here's a diagram of this "machine":

You are spending the summer as an assistant learning how to navigate on a large ship carrying freight across Lake Erie. One day, you and your ship are to travel across the lake a distance of 200 km traveling due north from yourorigin port to your destination port. Just as you leave your origin port, the navigation electronics go down. The captain continues sailing, claiming he can depend on his years of experience on the water as a guide. The engineers work on the navigation system while the ship continues to sail,and winds and waves push it off course. Eventually, enough of the navigation system comes back up to tell you your location. The system tells you that your current position is 50.0 km north of the origin port and 25.0 km east of the port. The captain is a little embarrassed that his ship is sofar off course and barks an order to you to tell him immediately what heading he should set from your current position to the destination port. Give him an appropriate heading angle.
