EAA Airventure attracts thousands, including EmbryRiddle staff and students Andrew Zaback

Photography Editor From July 26 to August 1, the Experimental Aircraft Association held its annual Airventure Event at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, WI. Hundreds of thousands of people flocked to the normally quiet town to attend the event.

Every year companies, big and small, set up displays on the airport grounds and showcase their newest products. In addition to the companies looking to sell a product the main highlight of the show, are of course, airplanes. Pilots and performers alike came from all over the world to take part in the famous Oshkosh Air Adventure.

Among the crowd of companies and pilots, a familiar tent was found just outside of Aeroshell Square. Embry-

Riddle Aeronautical University set up a large tent with four aircraft on display.

Chris Carta, the Associate Director of Alumni Relations spent the week at Oshkosh to help the cause. “Recruit and reconnect,” are the main goals of ERAU throughout the show.

Many former students and alumni attend Airventure and stop by the tent to say hello and introduce themselves.

To help alumni feel welcome, they are able to sign a guest book, which shows who they are, when and where they graduated and who they are working with in the aviation industry.

In addition, there were several freebies given to Alumni including pins, can cozies and bumper stickers specific to this group of visitors.

Information about the Eagles Nest online community was given to each Alumni visitor to

reconnect with their alma matter and former class mates from anywhere in the world.

While Carta welcomed alumni, admissions representatives from Daytona Beach, Prescott and Worldwide talked to potential students about attending ERAU for college. People of all ages were welcomed into the tent for free popcorn, water and school accessories. Any question a potential student had was answered from student clubs and organizations to academia.

To promote the flight aspect of Embry-Riddle, there were four aircraft on site. A Cessna 172 and R-22 helicopter was brought from Prescott, AZ and a Diamond DA-42 was flown from Daytona Beach. The final aircraft, an experimental Piper PA-44 Seminole was also flown in from Florida to showcase environmentally friendly Swift fuel.

Flight instructors from both residential campuses were onsite talking about the flight program and answering any other questions students might have in regards to learning how to fly.

In addition to the tent, Matt Chapman, the ERAU sponsored air show pilot flew on Monday and Thursday during the daily aerial program. He performed in his CAP 580 aircraft decked out with Embry-Riddle colors to display the school’s passion for flight and safety while flying.

If the large tent and sponsored pilot were not enough, ERAU held an alumni reunion BBQ luncheon at EAA’s Nature Lodge. Everyone interested in attending was welcome including future, current, and past students with their friends and family. Admission to the event was $10.00 a person and all

proceeds went to student scholarships.

At the luncheon, multiple guest speakers were spotlighted such as the Rick Larson, currently the Vice President of Marketing and Communications for EAA, Matt Chapman and Elaine Larsen, the ERAU jet racer driver and crew. Also during the luncheon, a raffle was held and each attendee received an MVP pass to view the air show from a premium location on the flight line.

Approximately 100 alumni attended the luncheon.

The presence ERAU has in the aviation industry was made clear with the University’s liaisons on site at EAA’s Airventure. The staff at the tent were welcoming to future and past students alike and made a good impression to all who were in attendance.

End of Course Evaluations are now open for classes taken in the Summer B Semester. All surveys are due by Aug. 13 by midnight. These surveys are important to the University as they help deans, department chairs and faculty. Without evaluations, there is no way to enhance courses, review faculty performance and meet other University goals.

All students who complete course evaluations are kept anonymous and confidential. Identifying information is removed from the survey and professors get a bulk summary of responses.

If you have any questions contact Institutional Research at ERAUeval@erau.edu or 386226-6225.

New short courses being offered Embry-Riddle’s Professional Programs Office will host three five-day Center for Aerospace Safety/Security Education (CASE) short courses in the fall.

The courses can be combined for participants to receive a Certificate of Management in Aviation Safety, or they may be taken independently.

All courses are held at the Daytona Beach campus and are as follows: Occupational Safety & Health/ Aviation Ground Safety for Managers Oct. 18-22, 2010 Aviation Safety Program Management Systems Oct. 25-29, 2010 Aircraft Accident Investigation and Management Nov. 1-5, 2010

Engineering students place third in national competition A team of students from the College of Engineering took third place in the eighth annual Student Unmanned Air Systems Competition at Webster Field in St. Inigoes, MD. Team Blackbird included Randy Breingan, Michael Dop, Michael Fabula, Ryan Hoffman, Ramiro Perez, Can Phung and Terik Weekes. The team placed third overall and first in oral presentation.

MATT CHAPMAN PERFORMED AT the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisc. The weeklong event that attracts both aviation enthusiasts and tourists held an airshow each day showcasing different pilots’ talents and their airplanes. Chapman was one of many pilots who had the opportunity to fly in this world-known event. Embry-Riddle also had a large tent recruiting new students and displaying the jet dragster.

Engineering camp going on full swing at Embry-Riddle Ravi Gondaliya Staff Reporter

Embry-Riddle is having its first Engineering Camp this summer. The camp will have children from 7-14 years of age. It is designed to generate the creative and innovative thoughts in young minds. The camp will involve a wide array of activities involving engineering, math, aviation maintenance and crash investigation, robotics, meteorology, air traffic control, aviation and space adventure. Each of the areas of science is taught to the students for one week.

As described by Professor Deborah Edwards, the camp started with 13 kids who went to the Daytona Experience for their automotive engineering field trip. Professor Darris White and Ashok Gurjar directed engineering week.

With 13 kids, math week, directed by Professor Deborah Edwards, was fun for students since they had math games.

Moreover, math week provided students with detailed understanding of math by creative problem solving abilities and artistic thinking.

Math week ended with a dip in the pool which was great refreshment for the students.

Because of the low participation, the third week on aviation maintenance and crash investigation was cancelled. The fourth week was the robotics camp, which attracted most of the students. Robotics camp allowed students to build their own robots with its own characteristics. Robotics camp ended with the awesome “Battlebots” competition which involved a fight between two robots built by the students. There was a fantastic arrangement of the robots talent show at which

all students showed the talent of their robots. Thus, robotics camp allowed students to break all of the boundaries and to think beyond their imagination.

“The Gear Model,” “Cute Dogs,” “Robo Snake” and “Playing Guitar Robot” became the centers of attention due to their unique capabilities. The robotics camp was directed by Professor Farahzad Behi and Richard Stansbury.

Engineering camp will officially end after “Meteorology, Air Traffic Control, and Aviation Week” and “Space Adventure Camp”. Thus, it was a great experience, both for students and professors, since they both got saturated in the world of science with no fix syllabus and boundaries. Embry-Riddle Engineering Camp gives students great confidence to becoming an outstanding engineer in the future.

The Avion, August 3, 2010

Matthew Ellengold ERFSEDS

The Embry-Riddle Future Space Explorers and Developers Society (ERFSEDS) ended their academic year with a bang this past June, returning from the Fifth Intercollegiate Rocket Engineering Competition (IREC) in Green River, Utah bearing a first place trophy.

The IREC, organized by the Experimental Sounding Rocket Association (ESRA), challenges engineering students to design, build, and fly experimental rockets capable of lofting 10 lb payloads to an altitude of 10,000 feet. ESRA defines an experimental rocket as one which “bridges the gap between experimental or research rockets built by hobbyists and professional/government sounding rockets that reach suborbital space, with potentially some overlap at each end of the spectrum.”

An extensively modified variant of the ERFSEDS designed Pathfinder II sounding rocket boosted its payload to a nearly spot-on apogee of 10,870 feet above the desert sand. Its performance surpassed that demonstrated by rockets from California State University – Long Beach (CSULB), Brigham

Young University (BYU), and University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA). This marked the third and final flight of this rocket which has been ERFSEDS work horse for the past year and a half. Its first flight was made in the fall of

2009 when it launched from Bunnell, FL on a mission to analyze the wake behind rocket tail sections. Work began the following semester to modify the vehicle, enabling it to fly higher, faster and with larger payloads. This required the

addition of two booster motors and on-board computers to control their ignition in-flight. The reconfigured vehicle was tested successfully in the late spring of 2010 from the same launch site, proving ERFSEDS now had a vehicle capable of competing in advanced competitions such as the IREC. When it came time to select a payload for their new creation, the design team turned to the Engineering Design Club (EnDeC) at Embry-Riddle.

Entering into its second year as a student organization, EnDeC specializes in sounding rocket payloads, utilizing microcontrollers, sensory instrumentation, and other electronics to fulfill various science missions. It was the EnDeC which designed the pressure monitoring payload flown on the first Pathfinder II mission. Now tasked with designing a payload to fly in the IREC, EnDeC students answered the call with an Inertial Monitoring Unit (IMU).

The IMU provides data on the vehicle’s acceleration on multiple axis. Data such as this is useful in characterizing the launch environment experienced by payloads flying on a particular class of vehicle. Scientific instruments are typically very sensitive, while rocket launches are extremely violent and pow-

The forces involved when the two are brought together must be well understood and accounted for less a mission fails due to equipment damaged during launch. EnDeC hopes to further develop this sensor package into a student designed flight computer, capable of actively triggering flight events based on data it receives.

As for Pathfinder II, preparations are under way for it to be displayed in Lehman Building, where it may show off the years of hard work and dedication demonstrated by all

those who made each of its three flights possible. Although, Pathfinder II’s time is at a close, its first place performance at IREC serves to mark the beginning of another great year for ERFSEDS.

Delta Upsilon colony receives big news Joey Jaworski

Delta Upsilon Three Brothers of the Delta Upsilon Colony at EmbryRiddle attended their internationals Leadership Institute in New Orleans, LA. At the conference the gentlemen were able to attend leadership seminars as well as attending a seminar with the president of their Fraternity.

The conference gave the gentlemen a look into the future, not only of the fraternity, but also the world around them. The main topic of discussion was learning how to become a pre-

mier leader in a changing global climate. We all know, from the economy to world politics, the world we live in is changing.

However, what the brothers of DU were to able to examine is how they are going to adapt to it. In addition to adapting to the changing global society, the men also considered how they can be a part of that change.

Knowing there are no boundaries and nothing to stop you, what are you going to do to change YOUR world.

In addition to leadership seminars, the brothers also had the distinct pleasure to volunteer for the Beacon of Hope society

A giant falls, yet hardly a sound is heard Mike Potash ERAU Staff

On January 27th 2010, the world lost a great American by the name of Howard Zinn.

He served as a bombardier in the Second World War and achieved renown as an historian, activist, author, and playwright. In 1956, Zinn became a professor of history at the historically Black and female Spelman College in Atlanta Georgia. Though tenured, Zinn was dismissed in 1963 for his continued support of students protesting racial segregation.

He devoted his post-war lifetime to social justice and the empowerment of ordinary people whose participation in the shaping of history is often trivialized.

Zinn’s most famous work,

“A People’s History of The United States”, chronicles American History from the perspective of the millions of ‘ordinary’ Americans who

lived and shaped it. For his unique and remarkable works, Howard Zinn became known as ‘The People’s Historian’.

In the end, his legacy is a powerful idea: We, the people,

are empowered to determine our national destiny. Peace, justice, and security are attainable – if we demand it. He devoted his life to those principles.

There was little or no mention in the main-stream media of Howard Zinn’s passing.

His life should have been acknowledged. But more – that for which he stood should have been celebrated. The socalled ‘Liberal Media’ covered the banal and bromidic bickering between Democrats and Republicans, filled time with the crime report, and dished out the obligatory tabloid fare. What they neglected to do is tell of the passing of an American giant. Howard Zinn was a great man who constantly reminded us that the power to elevate America is already in our hands.

Banners in UC to SGA Student be on TV in the fall Representative Board overview Lacey Wallace

Student Government

COMING THIS FALL!!!

Your very own SGA is presenting you with a new look of club advertisements! Tired of the hassles and lack of environmental friendliness of our old banners? Guess what, we are too!

This is why starting this fall we will have a GIANT TV posted up at the northern part of the UC. This beast measures a whole sixty-two inches and will constantly be changing from one organization’s banner to another.

While all policies will hold, there will no longer be any charge for clubs to put up banners! This means, wait for

it… no limit to how many any one organization can put up per semester! While there will still be a limit of one per week (unless otherwise approved), that adds up to a potential 14 banners per semester, which is ten more than before.

Now, don’t panic if you have frequently picked up banners for events. If you would like a banner to be printed you can just go through the same ol’ procedures. The cost of such banners won’t change, $7 for students and their organizations and $10 for university departments.

Also, all organizations at some point in time have been sitting in the UC and admiring their banners and noticed that one word that was spelled incorrectly. Well,

now that we have the GIANT TV you can just run into the SGA office and let somebody know and it will be fixed that day! No longer will we have to cower at the criticism of our peers that happen to notice these little imperfections!

As always, don’t forget you must get all banners in to dbbanner@erau.edu by Thursdays at 5:00 p.m. with the following things: sponsoring organization, name of event, date of event, time of event and location of event.

If you have any questions concerning the GIANT TV or even just banner questions in general, feel free to stop by the SGA office and we will get these questions taken care of!

this very hot summer. The last meeting was conducted on Monday, July 26th, where the final two allocations were made for the summer. This summer has been a great success for everyone.

The Finance Board has had a record number of 20 clubs request for summer funds and the SFB diligently worked to accommodate the majority of their financial requests.

On another more exciting note, the Finance Board is looking forward to be moving to using completely electronic budget packets. We are switching all electronic budget packets to not only become more organized, but also

paperless budget packets will be better for the environment.

SGA is always looking for new ways to become more green.

Even though budget packets will be all electronic, make sure your organization continues to fill out all forms completely and correctly because all budget packets will still be reviewed and checked for errors.

If you or your organization has any questions, or suggestions on how to help SGA become more environmentally friendly, or how to serve you better, please feel free to contact any Student Government representative or stop by the SGA office.

Club receipts are due August 9!

Sarah Wendt

Student Government On August 9th, next Monday, any receipts that your club or organization has been holding on to are due, and no receipts will be accepted after that date. If your organization would like to be reimbursed for approved items then this will be your last chance, so it is very important for receipts to be submitted on time.

The Student Government Finance Board has been consistently meeting all summer long to ensure a timely response to all clubs that have stayed active over

Student Government The Student Representative Board is one of the three main branches that makeup the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Student Government Association. The board acts as a legislating body composed of different positions with the sole purpose of addressing student concerns and making change for our university.

The Student Representative Board members hold oneyear terms and are selected by a formal election process held every spring semester. Members of the Student Representative Board consist of: College of Arts and Science Representatives, College of Aviation Representatives, College of Business Representatives, College of Engineering Representatives, an International Student Representative, and a Graduate Student Representative.

The Chair of the Student Representative Board is the current Student Government Association Vice President.

Some of the projects completed last year include the newly created Commuter Lounge located in the Student Center, the installation of a movie rental machine and additional ATM’s on campus, a successful Town Hall event where students have the abil-

ity to address concerns and recommendations to EmbryRiddle Administration, and Environmental Awareness Week just to name a few.

The Student Representative Board’s mission is to serve the students and is always open to suggestions and comments. The best ways to get in contact with representatives are through the numerous Suggestion Card Boxes located around campus, by stopping in the SGA office to get some candy or a cup of coffee, or by simply saying hi to someone wearing an SGA polo in your class.

There are various committees that the representatives sit in on which are always open to students. Included are the SafeRide Committee, Progress Committee, Promotions Committee, Constitution Committee, Environmental Awareness Committee, and the Flight Line Satisfaction Committee.

Becoming a Member at Large of any of these committees is a great way to get involved with the Student Government Association where you will be able to address your opinions and ideas while helping your fellow classmates.

Representatives also hold liaison positions to address student concerns to the proper departments on campus.

The Board has liaisons for almost every department on campus including the Advertisement

A3

Bookstore, Admissions, Information Technology, Financial Aid, Facilities, Parking, and the Wellness Center just to name a few.

Every semester, the Representative Board plans forums for each college.

These forums allow students to interact with teachers and network with officials in the industry. We highly encourage students to attend these forums so that they can learn about their future job market, learn the best ways to get an edge in their career, and maybe even go home with some cool prizes from the event.

Interested in becoming a student representative or just finding out more about what we do? Come to one of our open door meetings and introduce yourself. Meetings are held every Tuesday in the IC Auditorium from 12452pm and are always open to everyone. To find out more information about SGA or any of its divisions, check out the SGA website http://clubs. db.erau.edu/dbsga/ or stop by the SGA office for more information.

Incoming freshmen should be sure to check out the student ran organization, Task Force One. This organization is a solely ran by freshmen whom are interested in the Student Government Association.

Task Force One will allow you to plan and lead events while operating a mini SGA.

Dream your way to theaters for Inception Darick Alvarez

Guest Reporter Most movie trailers are built around the goal of showing you what the movie being advertised is about. In other words, when you actually go see the movie, you already have an idea of what the movie will be about from having watched the movie trailer and know what to expect. When I saw the movie trailer for ‘Inception,’ I was left scratching my head as to what the movie has to offer, other than the following.

The movie trailer has plenty of guns, explosions, a train plowing through cars in the middle of a city street, more explosions on some snowy mountain side, some guys falling off a mountain side, an entire city bending over on top of itself, floating bodies in a hotel room, a guy falling through a hallway, a guy on the back of a motorcycle with a big gun in the rain, water explosions, crumbling skyscrapers, more guns, more explosions, a hint of a possible love story, and some more explosions with guns.

The movie trailer for ‘Inception’ does a good job at leaving some of us with questions as to if it’s even worth seeing the movie at a theater or wait until it comes out to your nearest $1 movie rental kiosk, to if you should even give time on reading this review or not. While others, including me, were intrigued and fascinated enough by the movie trailer’s explosions and guns to HAVE to see it in the theater regardless if they knew what it would be about.

Let’s just say, I do not regret spending almost two and a half hours in the same seat watching one movie about dreaming.

On July 16th, the movie delivered everything it had promised and more. In an array of entertaining concepts

and visuals, the movie depicted a truly original story which had me at the edge of my seat throughout the entire length of the movie.

In the first scenes, the movie immediately throws you into a slight state of confusion, but in a good way. This confusion forces you to figure out what’s really going on, and just when you begin to understand, it throws you into a new concept as it reveals the secrets which drive the movie’s twisted story. This keeps the audience involved as it grasps your

“

Inception left a smile across my face...

-DARICK ALVAREZ

”

attention pushing you to think about ‘Inception’s original concept of sharing a dream, a dream within dreams, to using a dream to steal information from a person, to changing how a person lives outside the dream by planting an idea within a dream.

I did say this movie is about dreaming, but there is so much more complexity within ‘Inception’s concepts which truly make for an interesting experience. There are plenty of mind bending effects from the ‘Matrix’s “bullet time” effects or slow motion shots, to plenty of explosions, car chases, guns, secrets, to “James Bondish” infiltration scenes and espionage, all topped off with a dash of the even more complex love story (this is not to say this is anywhere near to what you would expect in a chick-flick).

The movie did not disappoint as the story unfolded

with unexpected twists and turns immersing me into a truly unique story which left me wanting more. In fact, everyone I have asked who has seen the movie has had a seeming mutual complaint as this move leaves you wanting more at the end; a want which I believe only some of the best moves can leave you with as there is never closure.

‘Inception’ left a smile across my face as I left the theater knowing I had just enjoyed a rare aspect which many of the newer movies are having a hard time successfully achieving; a story which has never been told. This movie is very original with a new take at what an action thriller truly should be; interesting and fun to watch.

When one of the main character’s, Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio), stated in the movie trailer, “Dreams feel real while we are in them; it’s only when we wake up that we realize something was actually strange.” I knew this movie was going to be a unique experience as this movie definitely over delivered over my expectations. This movie is definitely worth watching on the big screen.

If you are into action, explosions, guns, and cool slowmotion scenes, this move is definitely for you. If you enjoy getting your brain picked and scrabbled as you try to figure out what, when, and where a movie is leading to before it reveals the truths, this movie will definitely not disappoint. If you are a person who enjoys new ideas which are new to what today’s movies have to offer, start heading to the theater and be prepared for a new experience. If your idea of a good love story is in the movie “The Notebook,” you should know that ‘Inception’ has a love story woven into its crazy effects, but this movie is definitely not a chick-flick for the softies.
