Caroline Specht

Department of Astronautics • Participated in evaluation of current state of course material and notes • Created and modified existing course lectures • Created examples and tutorial slides

• Constructed a current body of work for the use of model predictive control in satellite rendezvous maneuvers • Simulated a satellite rendezvous maneuver tracking a reference trajectory using a model predictive controller • Investigated the feasibility of and simulated tube-based robust model predictive control for the tracking of a reference trajectory in a satellite rendezvous maneuver

Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing • Translated course notes for an introductory course on image analysis from German to English, coordinating with a native German speaker

Digital Electronics, Dept. Electrical Engineering • A required course for third year Electrical and Mechatronics Engineering students, instructing on digital electronics theory and the programming and design of microcontrollers • Available on weekly basis to students for assistance in course work • Guided students in tutorial work for this and related courses, consisting of PLC design, programming for microcontrollers, PCB design, and more • Graded tutorial work • Invigilated tests

Dept. of Electrical Engineering • Assisted new students in assimilation into university life • Available to mentees for any questions they may have • Reported on any issues to the department that may arise

Dept. of Electrical Engineering • A required course for third year Electrical Engineering students and an elective for others, which included advanced signal theory and modulation • Available on weekly basis to students for assistance in course work • Guided students in tutorial and laboratory work, consisting of theoretical exercises and practical circuit and signal analysis • Graded laboratory work and tests, coordinating with a team of 8 tutors • Invigilated tests

Dept. of Electrical Engineering • A required course module for all second year Electrical Engineering department students. Students were required to build and analyze a previously unfamiliar circuit, to infer properties, and to predict results. • Available to students twice a week for laboratory work requirements and assistance in course work • Guided students in laboratory work • Graded outcomes of the work of on average 6 pairs of students twice a week
