Abstract:
This paper celebrates the centenary of Queen Mary College’s involvement in aeronautics, a celebration with a unique distinction since it was this College’s immediate forebear which was the first British higher education institution to begin teaching and research in this subject. Thus the emphasis is on the early years from 1907 until the 1950s, a period ripe for recording before it recedes beyond living memory, but also the period during which the degree course in aeronautical engineering became firmly established and its parent Department acquired its reputation for research. Section 2.0 gives a brief history of the College’s origins in the East London College. Subsequent sections deal with the foundation of the aeronautical laboratory there, from which the aeronautical department grew, and the activities of the two men who led these developments, A.P. Thurston and N.A.V. Tonnstein who changed his name to Piercy.

Abstract:
The mechanics curriculum in the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics at MIT is being revised as part of a broad revision of the entire research and teaching program of the department. The traditional MIT approach of fundamental engineering science taught with an emphasis on its practical application has not changed, but it has been complemented by some important innovations. The mechanics curriculum has been revised and updated from the ground up. It has been coordinated with the rest of the aeronautical engineering curriculum, assuring that students understand the place of mechanics in the overall engineering of an aerospace system. Material science has been integrated throughout the mechanics curriculum. Finally, mechanics education plays a large role in teaching the “implicit curriculum”, a formalization of the skills and knowledge that a student is expected to gain outside of the stated curriculum.

Abstract:
Purpose – This aim of this report is to summarize how Google Sites can be used as an open-source, intuitive, and robust solution for designing an intranet system for a unique library department. Michigan Publishing is a department within the University of Michigan (U-M) campus library system that also includes a revenue-based operation as the U-M Press. The need for a central documentation system has become apparent to organize and streamline policies and procedures in this unique library department. Google Sites was chosen as a solution to compile departmental documentation and serve as a collaborative space for the many units within Michigan Publishing. Design/methodology/approach – One librarian and one graduate student intern worked on this project for 5-10 hours a week over the course of three months. Michigan Publishing managers created an inventory showing all existing informational resources in the department, and were then interviewed about these resources. An initial “landing page” was created for this Google-based site, and more comprehensive content has since been migrated from existing informational resources to this central site. Findings – A specific Google Sites Staff Intranet for Michigan Publishing has been an integral solution for providing a one-stop, central area for current internal resources. It also fosters a sense of departmental identity and community, since there are many separate units within the department, each with a different focus and place within the larger library system. This site provides an online forum for collaboration, communication and policy codification. Originality/value – This report summarizes how Google Sites can be used as an open-source, intuitive, and robust solution for designing an intranet system for a unique library department.

Abstract:
At that first meeting on October 6, 1967, the new trustees of EDF had voted to “proceed with caution,” given the precarious position of this essentially nonorganization with no assets. It was an easy motion and it passed unanimously, but before long caution was thrown to the winds when Lew Batts described an imminent planned application of the insecticide dieldrin in western Michigan. Intended to eradicate an alleged infestation of Japanese beetles, dieldrin was to be applied to 3,000 acres in Berrien County near Lake Michigan by the Michigan and United States Departments of Agriculture. Lew wanted EDF to stop them. We already knew something about dieldrin, a chlorinated hydrocarbon relative of DDT and an environmentally destructive material, more acutely (immediately) toxic than DDT. We knew it would kill birds and mammals and could damage fish. Furthermore, Lew Batts was connected with a Michigan foundation that had more money, but less arrogance, than we did. EDF was designed to litigate, and Batts’s organization certainly was not. He guaranteed the assembled new trustees of EDF that if we would tackle the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) in court to block the dieldrin application, he would support the effort with $10,000. The fat was in the fire! EDF’s trustees voted to cautiously sue the Michigan Department of Agriculture, and anybody else if necessary, to prevent the dieldrin treatment. Furthermore, several communities within the Lake Michigan watershed in western Michigan were using DDT in an attempt to control Dutch elm disease, a futile exercise with which we were very familiar (Wurster DH et al., 1965). With both of these destructive chemicals contaminating the fish, it would be difficult to separate the effects of each chemical from the other. So we decided to sue not only MDA in connection with its proposed dieldrin application, but we would add as defendants nine cities in western Michigan within the Lake Michigan watershed that were using DDT (Fremont, Muskegon, Greenville, Rockford, Lansing, East Lansing, East Grand Rapids, Holland, and Spring Lake).

Abstract:
Chapter 5 examines how Samuel P. Hayes, Jr., an early Point Four official who later helped design the Peace Corps, tried to “use” the University of Michigan to establish a program of multidisciplinary organized research on economic development, the Center for Research on Economic Development (CRED). The resistance he encountered from university administrators and economics department colleagues suggests that traditional academic norms did not always yield completely to interdisciplinary organized research. Yet the establishment of CRED, which had parallels at the University of Chicago, Vanderbilt, and Yale, suggests the importance of economic development as a focus for organized research in the instrumental university. This chapter also provides an account of the new subfield of development economics and of the relationship between the economics discipline and the behavioral science paradigm.

Abstract:
West Nile Virus is a vector-borne flavivirus that affects mainly birds, horses, and humans. The disease emerged in the United States in 1999 and by 2001 had reached Michigan. In clinical human cases, the most common symptoms are fever, weakness, nausea, headache, and changes in mental state. The crow is the most common wildlife host in the life cycle of the virus. The state of Michigan, through the Michigan Department of Community Health, collected the spatial locations of over 8,000 dead birds (Corvidae), statewide, during 2002. The large number of samples made spatial and temporal hotspot detection possible. However, the volunteer reporting method produced a dataset with a direct correlation between the numbers and locations of the dead birds and human population density and accurately identifying hotspots remains a challenge. Geographic variation in dead bird intensity was modeled using both global and local spatial clustering algorithms. Statistical models identified overall spatial structure and local clustering. Identification of hotspots was confounded by limited information about the collection procedures, data availability and quality, and the limitations of each method.

Full text
Abstract:
EDF was only a few months old with the DDT agitation still under way in Michigan when a phone call arrived from Lorrie Otto, an environmental leader in Milwaukee, Wisconsin (Fig. 4.1). Lorrie explained that DDT was to be used for attempted Dutch elm disease control in Milwaukee, and she wanted EDF to come to Wisconsin and stop it. She had been reading about our fireworks on Long Island and in Michigan and figured some of that might be good for Wisconsin. Other considerations were also favorable about Wisconsin. The use of DDT leads to contamination of meat, eggs, milk, and other dairy products, and the dairy industry is large and important in Wisconsin. Agriculture was therefore split in that state: One component wanted to use DDT on crops and trees, while the dairy industry wished to avoid DDT contamination of its products. Agriculture would not present a unified force on behalf of DDT, as it would in most states. The environmental movement was unusually strong in Wisconsin, and Lorrie Otto pledged to EDF the statewide support of the Citizens Natural Resources Association (CNRA). CNRA would raise money and provide all additional logistic support that might be necessary during whatever proceedings might develop. If EDF was going to make a difference on the national scene, this seemed like an invitation not to be refused. So here was an opportunity to stir up trouble again with an increase in complexity and confusion. On October 2, 1968, EDF filed a lawsuit in Federal Court in Milwaukee that was quite similar to the one filed nearly a year earlier in Michigan. It sought to block the Michigan Department of Agriculture (MDA) from applying dieldrin in Michigan against Japanese beetles (same case, same application as postponed last year) and to stop Milwaukee from spraying DDT on its elm trees. The allegations were the same: both DDT and dieldrin would kill nontarget birds and mammals, and both would threaten reproduction of the Coho salmon in Lake Michigan hatcheries.

Abstract:
This is the story of how, in 1957, John Holland, a graduate student in mathematics; Gordon Peterson, a professor of speech; the present writer, a professor of philosophy; and several other Michigan faculty started a graduate program in Computers and Communications—with John our first Ph.D. and, I believe, the world's first doctorate in this now-burgeoning field. This program was to become the Department of Computer and Communication Sciences in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts about ten years later. It had arisen also from a research group at Michigan on logic and computers that I had established in 1949 at the request of the Burroughs Adding Machine Company. When I first met John in 1956, he was a graduate of MIT in electrical engineering, and one of the few people in the world who had worked with the relatively new electronic computers. He had used the Whirlwind I computer at MIT [33], which was a process-control variant of the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) Computer [27]. He had also studied the 1946 Moore School Lectures on the design of electronic computers, edited by George Patterson [58]. He had then gone to IBM and helped program its first electronic computer, the IBM 701, the first commercial version of the IAS Computer. While a graduate student in mathematics at Michigan, John was also doing military work at the Willow Run Research Laboratories to support himself. And 1 had been invited to the Laboratories by a former student of mine, Dr. Jesse Wright, to consult with a small research group of which John was a member. It was this meeting that led to the University's graduate program and then the College's full-fledged department. The Logic of Computers Group, out of which this program arose, in part, then continued with John as co-director, though each of us did his own research. This anomaly of a teacher of philosophy meeting an accomplished electrical engineer in the new and very small field of electronic computers needs some explanation, one to be found in the story of the invention of the programmable electronic computer. For the first three programmable electronic computers (the manually programmed ENIAC and the automatically programmed EDVAC and Institute for Advanced Study Computer) and their successors constituted both the instrumentation and the subject matter of our new Graduate Program in Computers and Communications.

Abstract:
To enhance overall performance of the A-10 Close Air Support Aircraft and enhance reliability and maintainability, the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) Aeronautics Department proposed a fixed drooped leading edge configuration in the summer of 2011 to replace the current slat system located on the inboard leading edge of the wing. In the spring of 2012, the A-10 Systems Program Office at Hill AFB tasked the USAFA Department of Aeronautics to conduct an effort to evaluate the existing slats extended and slats retracted configurations as well as three drooped leading edge configurations so comparisons could be made [1–5]. This effort was a follow-on investigation of five drooped leading edge configurations plus two additional ones with geometric twist, and an additional one with fences. This wind tunnel evaluation was performed using a 1/20 scale model. Of the eight configurations evaluated, the 11% drooped leading edge with fences performed the best in minimizing total pressure distortion across various angles of attack and sideslip. However, the 10% droop had better drag characteristics (determined in a parallel investigation) and was projected to have significant drag reduction benefits at the higher angles of attack which could improve sustained turning performance. Based on these combined results, the 10% droop was the USAFA recommended configuration in the Fall of 2012 for further evaluations by USAFA and Arnold Engineering and Development Complex (AEDC).

Abstract:
Undergraduate courses at Technological Institute of Aeronautics (ITA) are 5-years course, divided into Fundamental (2 years) and Professional (3 years). The Flow Machines, in the Mechanical-Aeronautical Engineering Course, is offered by the Turbomachines Department and is taught in the first semester of the fourth year (2nd professional year). In the course, the basic theory, unified for all machines, is presented in details for the students, emphasizing the physics of all processes involved in the fluid-machine energy transfer. Incompressible and compressible fluids are treated accordingly. The flow machines types are individually studied, focusing attention to their performance characteristics and range of applications. The preliminary design and off-design operation issues are discussed in details with the students, with emphasis on relevant aspects of each machine, like cavitation, stall and surge. The students are taught on how to choose the flow properties at the blade edges for the sake of preliminary design and off-design performance estimations. Loss models are introduced during the theory classes and popular models are presented. At this point, in-house computer codes and commercial software are presented to the students, who are asked to solve simple problems. The installation, operation and basic performance calculations are also presented for the students during the lab classes for several hydraulic machines installed at ITA laboratories. All course material is transferred for the students in pdf format before classes. In this work, the experience with the teaching process in flow machines at ITA, theory and laboratory, is described.

The Allison Gas Turbine Division of General Motors Corporation (GMC) completed the Advanced Gas Turbine Technology Project under contract to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Lewis Research Center (LeRC) using funding received from the Heat Engine Propulsion Division, Office of Transportation Systems in the Conservation and Renewable Energy Group of the Department of Energy (DOE) in the summer of 1987. This advanced, high risk work was initiated in the fall of 1979 under charter from the U. S. Congress to promote an engine for transportation that would provide an alternative to reciprocating spark-ignition (SI) engines for the U. S. automotive industry and simultaneously establish the feasibility of advanced ceramic materials for hot section components to be used in an automotive gas turbine (AGT).

Abstract:
A numerical investigation into the flow past curved pipes has been performed. The first group of computations includes curved pipes for which the incoming flow vector is normal to the plane of curvature. For the second group of computations the free-stream flow vector is parallel to the plane of curvature. Different flow conditions have been applied and the corresponding results compared. The vortex shedding patterns and the wake topology are studied and the sectional forces at different locations of the span are also presented. The fully three-dimensional simulations were computed with a spectral/hp element method. The computational results were compared with visualisation experiments undertaken in the towing tank facility of the Department of Aeronautics of Imperial College.

Abstract:
This paper provides specific examples of sustainability education programs within the engineering curriculum at The University of Michigan at Ann Arbor (UM). These programs exist at the undergraduate, Masters, and Ph.D. levels of education. At the undergraduate level, a basic literacy program has been initiated to give each graduating mechanical engineer from UM the understanding required to make design decisions less impacting on the environment. The program is designed as an educational thread consisting of three (3) course modules corresponding to each of three required courses in the Design and Manufacturing sequence in the mechanical engineering department. To compliment the thread, a new joint course between mechanical and environmental engineering in Environmentally Sustainable Engineering is under development to serve as the cornerstone undergraduate course in environmental education for the UM College of Engineering (CoE). At the Masters level, the ConsEnSus (Concentrations in Environmental Sustainability) Program is described. This program has been introduced to enhance general environmental literacy and to prepare students to integrate environmental principles into professional practice. Similarly, a joint Ph.D. program has also been developed between CoE and the School of Natural Resources and the Environment to prepare students for a career in research and education related to sustainable engineering. Both ConsEnSus and the Ph.D. program are supported by a course entitled Principles of Eco-Design and Manufacturing. This course, and the graduate and undergraduate programs it supports, is part of a college-wide effort to make Sustainable Systems Engineering a reality in practice by disseminating operational definitions of sustainability targeted to specific engineering disciplines.

Abstract:
This paper describes the development and assessment of a sophomore-level, aero-thermodynamics class structured to meet the needs of both the Department of Aeronautics and Department of Astronautics at the United States Air Force Academy. The course was developed following ABET EC2000 guidelines. Because of the large core class requirement placed on students at the USAF Academy, this single course was developed as an alternative to students taking traditional separate thermodynamics and gas dynamics courses. Benefits and tradeoffs of this approach are presented. The general philosophy in developing the course was to provide solid foundations in thermodynamics and compressible gas dynamics while motivating and inspiring students to their chosen engineering profession. To that end, the course is loaded with practical applications and hands-on laboratories. Engineering rigor was maintained by inclusion of an unsteady, three-dimensional control volume formulation of the governing equations, emphasizing assumptions and their implications, and enforcing engineering analysis methods. Quantitative assessment of specific performance criteria demonstrates achievement of educational outcomes. Student course critique scores provided additional quantitative data. Finally, an initial assessment of course impact on two different undergraduate propulsion classes demonstrates the intended result — improved understanding of fundamentals allowing for expanded coverage in other areas. In short, the propulsion tracks in both departments appear to be improved.

Abstract:
The Department of Aeronautics at the United States Air Force Academy utilizes a closed-loop, two-dimensional turbine cascade wind tunnel to reinforce a learning-focused undergraduate thermo-propulsion sequence. While previous work presented in the literature outlined the Academy thermo-propulsion sequence and the contextual framework for instruction, this current paper addresses how the Academy turbine cascade facility is integrated into the aeronautical engineering course sequence. Cadets who concentrate in propulsion are to some extent prepared for each successive course through their contact with the cascade, and ultimately they graduate with an exposure to experimental research that enhances their grasp of gas turbine engine fundamentals. Initially, the cascade is used to reinforce airfoil theory to all cadets in the Fundamentals of Aeronautics course. Aeronautical engineering majors take this course during the first semester of their sophomore year. The next semester all aeronautical engineering majors take Introduction to Aero-thermodynamics. In this course, the closed-loop aspect of the cascade facility is used to reinforce concepts of work addition to the flow. Heat transfer is also discussed, using the heat exchanger that regulates test section temperature. Exposure to the cascade also prepares cadets for the ensuing Introduction to Propulsion and Aeronautics Laboratory courses, taken in the junior and senior year, respectively. In the propulsion course, cadets connect thermodynamic principles to component analysis. In the laboratory course, cadets work in pairs on propulsion projects sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory, including projects in the cascade wind tunnel. Individual cadets are selected from the cascade research teams for summer internships, working at an Air Force Research Laboratory turbine cascade tunnel. Ultimately, cadet experiences with the Academy turbine cascade help lay the foundation for a two-part senior propulsion capstone sequence in which cadets design a gas turbine engine starting with the overall cycle selection leading to component-level design. The turbine cascade also serves to integrate propulsion principles and fluid mechanics through a senior elective Computational Fluid Dynamics course. In this course, cadets may select a computational project related to the cascade. Cadets who complete the thermo-propulsion sequence graduate with a thorough understanding of turbine engine fundamentals from both conceptual and applied perspectives. Their exposure to the cascade facility is an important part of the process. An assessment of cadet learning is presented to validate the effectiveness of this integrated research-classroom approach.

Abstract:
Under the Ceramic Stationary Gas Turbine (CSGT) and Advanced Material Program sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), a team led by Solar Turbines Incorporated (Solar) has successfully designed engines utilizing silicon carbide/silicon carbide (SiC/SiC) continuous fiber-reinforced ceramic composite (CFCC) combustor liners. Their potential for low NOx and CO emissions was demonstrated in nine field-engine tests for a total duration of more than 52,000-hours. In the first four engine tests, the durability of the liners was limited primarily by the long-term stability of SiC in the high steam environment of the gas turbine combustor. Consequently, the need for an environmental barrier coating (EBC) to meet the 30,000-hour life goal was recognized. An EBC developed under the National Aeronautics & Space Administration (NASA) High Speed Civil Transport, Enabling Propulsion Materials program was improved, optimized and applied on the SiC/SiC liners by United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) from the fifth engine test onwards. The results of the evaluation after the seventh engine test with greater than 15,000-hours is compared against the results of a previous engine test with approximately 14,000-hours.

Their potential for low NOx and CO emissions was demonstrated in ten separate field-engine tests for an accumulated duration of more than 68,000-hours. In the first four field tests, the durability of the CFCC liners was limited primarily by the long-term stability of SiC in the high-pressure steam environment of the gas turbine combustor. Consequently, the need for an environmental barrier coating (EBC) to meet the 30,000-hour life goal was recognized. An EBC developed under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) High Speed Civil Transport, Enabling Propulsion Materials (EPM) program was improved, optimized and applied on the SiC/SiC liners by United Technologies Research Center (UTRC) from the fifth field test onwards. Presented in this paper is the evaluation of the field test with a modified EBC using Strontium Aluminum Silicate (SAS) on SiC/SiC CFCC liners after 8,368-hours.
