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.

Q1:
A. One of the researchers discovered a patent related to the development of a
certain software module in mobile devices, and when he emailed one of the
companies producing these devices, they asked him to send the research to try it on
their devices, and after a while this researcher discovered that his discovery was
used by this company without referring to him or buying this discovery, What do
you think about the above.
B. As a quality control engineer in one of the electrical appliance factories, I
discovered that the technical worker responsible for inspecting one of these
products seals its validity without inspecting it. when I filed a complaint with the
administration, the administration neglected the complaint, arguing that there was
no time to inspect it again due to lack of time to prepare the consumer.

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.

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?

You are assigned as the head of the engineering team to work on selecting the right-sized blower that will go on your new line of hybrid vehicles.The fan circulates the warm air on the inside of the windshield to stop condensation of water vapor and allow for maximum visibility during wintertime (see images). You have been provided with some info. and are asked to pick from the bottom table, the right model number(s) that will satisfy the requirement. Your car is equipped with a fan blower setting that allow you to choose between speeds 0, 1,2 and 3. Variation of the convection heat transfer coefficient is dependent upon multiple factors, including the size and the blower configuration.You can only use the following parameters:

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.
