Aero Undergrads Sweep AIAA Awards
Clark School students swept the undergraduate category of a technical paper competition at the 2008 Region I-MA American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Student Conference, held at the Kim Engineering Building earlier this month.
First Place: "Optimal Stochastic Nonlinear Control of Spacecraft Angular Velocity"
Second Place: "Effects of Braid Angle on Pneumatic Artificial Muscle Actuator Performance"
Third Place: "Development of the Satellite Groundtrack Interactive Display"
The AIAA Student Conference is a technical paper competition for AIAA student members at the undergraduate and graduate levels from regional campuses. Students are invited to submit technical papers and give formal presentations, which are judged for technical content and clarity of communication. Winners are awarded cash prizes and may advance to the AIAA Foundation International Student Conference, typically held the following January at the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting & Exhibition Center in Reno, Nev.
Conference co-chairs Bree McNerney and Nate Niles, along with Prof. Alison Flatau, planned the conference.
