Abbreviated Injury Scale

with whom they interact in the community. An emerging body of research suggests that service learning is experienced differently by students from underrepresented groups and that boundaries are blurred creating different outcomes for students and community members alike. The perspectives of students of color or students from working class families, for example, are also unheard voices in service learning. In illuminating the experiences and perspectives of community organizations in The Unheard Voices Stoecker and Tryon provide service learning educators (in the broadest and most inclusive definition) with a very useful resource for the effective and respectful design and implementation of service learning. If their findings and recommendations therein are taken to heart and seriously, service learning programs will not only look very different but so too will faculty involvement and most importantly, intended benefits to community organizations may actually be realized.

Educating Engineers: Designing for the Future of the Field

This paper presents a comprehensive survey on anti-drone systems. After drones were released for non-military usages, drone incidents in the unarmed population are gradually increasing. However, it is unaffordable to construct a military grade anti-drone system for every private or public facility due to installation and operation costs, and regulatory restrictions. We focus on analyzing anti-drone system that does not use military weapons, investigating a wide range of anti-drone technologies, and deriving proper system models for reliable drone defense. We categorized anti-drone technologies into detection, identification, and neutralization, and reviewed numerous studies on each. Then, we propose a hypothetical anti-drone system that presents the guidelines for adaptable and effective drone defense operations. Further, we discuss drone-side safety and security schemes that could nullify current anti-drone methods, and propose future solutions to resolve these challenges.

Survey on Anti-Drone Systems: Components, Designs, and Challenges

STATEMENT One of the most fundamental principles of patient safety is to investigate and learn from the past in order to improve the future. However, healthcare organizations can find it challenging to develop the robust organizational processes and work practices that are needed to rigorously investigate and learn from safety incidents. Key challenges include difficulties developing specialist knowledge and expertise, understanding complex incidents, coordinating collaborative action, and positively changing practice. These are the types of challenges that simulation is commonly used to address. As such, this article proposes that there are considerable opportunities to integrate simulation more deeply and systematically into routine efforts to investigate and learn from safety incidents. This article explores how this might be performed by defining five key areas where simulation could be productively integrated throughout the investigation and learning process, drawing on examples of current practice and analogous applications in healthcare and other industries.

Imitating Incidents: How Simulation Can Improve Safety Investigation and Learning From Adverse Events.

Although there is high degree of agreement on the importance of transversal skills for engineers, employers observe a significant gap between expectations and reality. This paper discusses the need for the development of a framework of professional roles for future engineers and the implementation of dedicated skills education in engineering curricula to train students for this role. Based on an extensive literature study, an overview is given of previous research on this topic. The paper also outlines the next steps that will be taken by the authors as part of a European project PREFER to develop and implement these roles in engineering education.

Multibody system modelling of unmanned aircraft system collisions with the human head

This paper relates the experiences of lecturers at Delft University of Technology in the designing and running of a Master course in Forensic Engineering. Rather than traditional face-to-face lectures, use of real-life evidence-based learning was made in the form of training for and execution of a mock aircraft accident investigation. The culmination of this learning experience for the students was the group exam, which took the form of the examination of a recreated accident scene. Students were required to organize their investigation groups, document the scene, and collect evidence while on scene. Subsequently, they were given time to analyze the results and prepare a standard accident investigation report. Evaluation results show satisfied students and good learning outcomes, making this a course worth repeating.

Forensic engineering: Learning by accident. Teaching investigation skills to graduate students using real-life accident simulations

UAS will be integrated into the airspace in the near future, but the risk of UAS collision is not well understood which hampers the development of adequate regulations and standards. As risk has two constituents: frequency and consequence, collision risk analysis of UAS operations in future UTM asks for a quantitative assessment of various types of frequency and consequence. However, prior to studying such quantitative assessment, it is a prerequisite to identify the various types of collisions and consequences. Doing the latter is the objective of this paper. This paper follows a step-wise approach in identifying the various types of collision consequence under a given UTM ConOps, focusing on the very-low-level UAS operations. The first steps address the analysis of the UTM ConOps, rules, and infrastructure considered, and the identification of types of objects and UASs that will operate in the very-low-level UTM system. The follow-up steps are to characterize impact materials by applying zone of impact analysis, followed by analyzing the types of collision consequence. The result is a systematic identification and characterization of types of collision consequences as well as applicable impact materials and conditions that will form the basis for safety risk analysis in follow-on research.

Characterizing UAS collision consequences in future UTM

This year, 2020, the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands celebrates its 80th birthday. This paper describes the history of the department since its founding in early 1940, just before the start of World War II in the Netherlands, until present day. The paper will highlight how its research and education developed within the socio-economic context of the Netherlands and the developments in aerospace over the past 80 years.
