what is artificial intelligence?
The science of making machines think like humans.
Training a computer to make decisions and process data.
The use of algorithms like Google Maps and Uber/Lyft.
designs, manufactures, and tests systems for aircraft spacecraft
guidance, navigation, and control engineer
total energy transferred or transformed
electricity is the flow of
electrons
the formula for Ohms Law
I = V/R
something that orbits a large object in space
satellite
Responsible for trajectories, flight paths, and orbital mechanics. Makes sure all parts follow the correct path and physics
flight dynamics officer
what is a parallel circuit?
circuit with several branches for current to follow
force that pushes electrons through a circuit
voltage
voltage and current are
directly proportional
what is a CubeSat?
A small satellite typically built in 10x10x10 cm units that consists of various payloads for data collection.
Works with all teams, manufacturers, and designs to ensure product works as advertised.
systems engineer
what are the differences between LED and incandescent bulbs?
LED: use semiconductors, very little current, stay cool, not as prone to failure
incandescent: high resistance, more current, waste energy as heat, more prone to failure and overheating
states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can be transferred
law of conservation of charge
measured in amps
current
Information is transmitted from the ground station to the satellite through _________, and sent from the satellite to the ground station via ____________
uplink; downlink
Who is the Aerospace engineer that spoke to the class?

How are machine learning and artificial intelligence related?
machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence in which the computer learns to recognize patterns and use algorithms to make predictions.
Calculates how much memory, data, and what type of data/computer processing will be needed for scenarios
computational analyst
Respond to community and customer complaints and propose solutions
Work with project managers to ensure projects are complete and satisfactory
Design new ways to use energy and improve electrical power products and systems.
what is power?
the rate at which work is done
What is the difference between an insulator and a conductor?
insulator: prevents flow of electrons
conductor: allows flow of electrons
