  • 2006 FIRST Annual Report
    annual report For Inspiration & Recognition of Science & Technology 2006 F I R Dean Kamen, FIRST Founder John Abele, FIRST Chairman President, DEKA Research & Founder Chairman, Retired, Development Corporation Boston Scientific Corporation S Recently, we’ve noticed a shift in the national conversation about our People are beginning to take the science problem personally. society’s lack of support for science and technology. Part of the shift is in the amount of discussion — there is certainly an increase in media This shift is a strong signal for renewed commitment to the FIRST T coverage. There has also been a shift in the intensity of the vision. In the 17 years since FIRST was founded, nothing has been more conversation — there is clearly a heightened sense of urgency in the essential to our success than personal connection. The clearest example calls for solutions. Both these are positive developments. More is the personal commitment of you, our teams, mentors, teachers, parents, awareness and urgency around the “science problem” are central to sponsors, and volunteers. For you, this has been personal all along. As the FIRST vision, after all. However, we believe there is another shift more people make a personal connection, we will gain more energy, happening and it has enormous potential for FIRST. create more impact, and deliver more success in changing the way our culture views science and technology. If you listen closely, you can hear a shift in the nature of the conversation. People are not just talking about a science problem and how it affects This year’s Annual Report echoes the idea of personal connections and P02: FIRST Robotics Competition someone else; they are talking about a science problem that affects personal commitment.

  • Micro-Jet Test Facility for Aerospace Propulsión Engineering Education*
    Micro-Jet Test Facility for Aerospace Propulsión Engineering Education* G. L. JUSTE, J. L. MONTAÑÉS and A. VELAZQUEZ Universidad Politécnica de Madrid, School of Aeronautics, Aerospace Propulsión and Fluid Mechanics Department, Plaza del Cardenal Cisneros 3, 28040 Madrid, Spain. E-mail: [email protected] This paper describes the methodology that has been developed and implemented at the School of Aeronautics (ETSIA) of the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM) to familiarize aerospace engineering students with the operation ofreal complexjet engine systems. This methodology has a two-pronged approach: students carry out preparatory work by using, first, a gas turbine performance prediction numerical code; then they valídate their assumptions and results on an experimental test rig. When looking at the educational aspects, we have taken care that, apartfrom being sufficiently robust and flexible, the experimental set-up is similar to real jet engine rigs, so the students are not constrained to exploring a much too limited parametric space. Also, because a facility like this is usually subject to extensive and somewhat rugged use, we have focused on a low cosí design.
