A Novel Brainstorming Pedagogy to Mobilize Pico/Nano/Micro-Satellite (PNMSat) Engineering Research and Education in India

Abstract

His research interests include design & development of pico-, nano-& micro-satelllites (PN-MSats) for atmospheric research and technology advancement. He has collaborated with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to conduct research in the field of small satellites. He is actively pursuing support from NASA, AFRL, NSF and other organizations supporting research in aerospace engineering. Most recently, he has proposed (NSF) to develop a 6U CubeSat in collaboration with University of Florida, NASA and Maryland Aerospace Inc to advance the understanding of upper atmospheric composition. Through support from Rockwell Collins, he has initiated the development of an Amateur Radio Station on the Tuskegee University campus. The station is envisioned to support the ground system needs of a CubeSat program at Tuskegee University and impart hands on communication skills for the students of College of Engineering. Dr. Asundi actively publishes in the above fields and mentors/supports undergraduate research in his department. Dr. Asundi also serves on the PhD committee of Bungo Shiotani, a graduate student at University of Florida, to research the project life cycle of CubeSat systems. His research interests include the following: • Small Satellites (CubeSat) Design & Development • Spacecraft Attitude Determination & Control • Autonomous Systems Design & Development • Systems Engineering for Small Satellites • Vehicle Health Monitoring

How Do EFL Students Perceive Brainstorming in L2 Writing Classes?

“…Learners who are engaged in brainstorming encounter various viewpoints by sharing ideas with peers. Brainstorming stimulates their thinking skills and curiosity for looking for new ideas (Amoush, 2015;Asundi & Rao, 2018;Ryoo, Molfese, & Brown, 2018).…”

An Assessment of an Online Flipped-style Classroom Instruction for Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Students

“…A pre-recorded session and the live session would constitute one class of 1 hour and 15 minutes. In the past, the instructor has engaged in flipped style instruction and the length of the pre-recorded videos was decided based on surveys conducted as part of these offerings (Asundi 2020 andAsundi 2018). It is important to mention that the focus of pre-recorded sessions needed to be reimagined.…”
