Abstract:

Thesis (MTech (Education))--Peninsula Technikon, Cape Town, 2003<br>Currently in South Africa most learners attend academic schools that offer general subjects such as History, Geography, Biology, Accountancy and so on. There are considerably fewer technical schools that can absorb those individuals who want to pursue an engineering trade career path. Academic schools are not equipped to provide for learners who want to pursue engineering trade careers. These learners either fall by the wayside by leaving school prematurely, or they continue at the school through to matric with subjects

Abstract:

The requirements of a modern guided weapon will be established based on the current and perceived threats at the time the design is commissioned. However the design of a modern guided weapon is a long and expensive process which can result in the weapon entering service only for the original threat to have changed or passed, inevitably inducing a capability gap. The defence budgets of the major military powers such as the UK and USA continue to shrink. As a result the emphasis of military research is being placed on adapting current legacy systems to bridge these capability gaps. One such gap

The purpose of this study was to determine factors that impacted on engineering professionals’ decision to seek alternative employment, as well as to determine the decision making processes applied by engineering professionals when seeking alternative employment. A conceptual model was developed to illustrate the impact of various factors on labour turnover and the decision making processes that could be followed by engineering professionals when seeking alternative employment. The factors impacting on labour turnover were organised into four categories, namely external, internal, expectations

Abstract:

An anti-tank guided missile is a weapon system primarily designed to hit and destroy armored tanks and other armored vehicles. Developed first-generation command-guided and second-generation semi-automatic command guided missiles had many disadvantages and lower hit rates. For that reason, third generation imaging infrared fire-and-forget missile concept is very popular nowadays. In this thesis, mainly, a mathematical model for a fire-and-forget anti-tank missile is developed and a flight control autopilot design is presented using PID and LQR techniques.

Abstract:

Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUV) in open-seas are highly nonlinear with system motions. Because of the complex interaction of the body with environment it is difficult to control them efficiently. Linearization is applied to system in order to design controllers developed for linear systems. To overcome the effects of disturbances, a mathematical model which will compensate all disturbances and effects of linearization is required. In this study first a mathematical model is formed wherein the linear and nonlinear hydrodynamic coeffi- cients are calculated with strip theory. After the basic

Abstract:

In order to have an interception with a target, a missile should be guided with a successful guidance algorithm accompanied with a suitable autopilot structure. In this study, different autopilot and guidance designs for a canard-controlled missile are developed. As a first step, nonlinear missile mathematical model is derived by using the equations of motion with aerodynamic coefficients found by Missile DATCOM program. Autopilot design starts by the linearization of the nonlinear missile model around equilibrium flight conditions. Controllers based on the concepts of optimal control theory r

Abstract:

Urban Search and Rescue is a dangerous task for rescue workers and for this reason the use of mobile robots to carry out the search of the environment is becoming common place. These robots are remotely operated and the search is carried out by the robot operator. This work proposes that common search algorithms can be used to guide a single autonomous mobile robot in a search of an environment and locate survivors within the environment. This work then goes on to propose that multiple robots, guided by the same search algorithms, will carry out this task in a quicker time. The work presented

Abstract:

Image guidance and visualization play an important role in modern surgery to help surgeons perform their surgical procedures. Here, the focus is on neurosurgery applications, in particular brain tumor surgery where a craniotomy (opening of the skull) is performed to access directly the brain region to be treated. In this type of surgery, once the skull is opened the brain can change its shape, and this deformation is known as brain shift. Moreover, the boundaries of many types of tumors are difficult to identify by the naked eye from healthy tissue. The main goal of this work was to study and

Abstract:

The relationship between economic and demographic factors and the flow of new students into undergraduate engineering programs was investigated. An empirical analysis was undertaken based on a lagged-supply model developed earlier by Richard Freeman. The analysis involved the replication of the Freeman model over the 1948-1972 period, the extension of the model through 1986, and the forecasting of first-year engineering enrollments up to the year 2000. The model developed in this thesis was able to a accurately mirror the engineering enrollment trends from 1948 to 1986. The economic

Classical (PID) and modern control (LQT, Sliding Mode) methods for autonomous navigation and landing in adverse weather conditions are implemented. Two different guidance systems are designed in order to navigate through waypoints during normal and/or emergency flight. The nonlinear Pioneer UAV model is used in controller development and simulations. Aircraft is linearized at different trim points and total airspeed, altitude, roll and yaw autopilots are designed using Matlab/Simulink environmen

In this thesis, a new guidance method for fighter aircrafts and a new guidance method for missiles are developed. Also, guidance and control systems of the aircraft and the missile used are designed to simulate the generic engagement scenarios between the missile and the aircraft. Suggested methods have been tested under excessive simulation studies. The aircraft guidance method developed here is a rule based missile evasion method. The main idea to develop this method stems from the maximization of the miss distance for an engagement scenario between a missile and an aircraft. To do this, an

Abstract:

Girls who have high aptitude in math are not entering careers related to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM fields) at the same rate as boys. As a result, female students may have fewer employment opportunities. This study explores one potential way to reduce the gap between male and female career aspirations and choices. Specifically, it looks at the impact of bringing women with careers in math- and science-related fields into high school classrooms as role models.
