“…At the college and undergraduate levels, the focus has been the design and construction of drones in credit courses. For example, the process of building a drone has been reported as an educational proposal [24]. There is also the record of an implemented course where the students designed and built a test-rig, although the activities did not include the system's dynamics modeling [25].…”

Accelerated advances in science and technology drive the need for professionals with flexible problem-solving abilities towards a collaborative working environment. The advances pose a challenge to educational institutions about how to develop learning environments that contribute to meeting the aforementioned necessity. Additionally, the fast pace of technology and innovative knowledge are encouraging universities to employ challenge-based-learning (CBL) approaches in engineering education supported by modern technology such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and other advanced electronic devices. Within the framework of competency-based education (CBE) and CBL are the design, implementation, and evaluation of an intensive 40 h elective course which includes a 5-day challenge to promote the development of disciplinary and transversal competencies in undergraduate engineering students whilst relying on UAVs as the medium where the teaching–learning process takes place. Within this credit course, a case study was carried out considering the framework of an exploratory mixed-methods educational research approach that sought a broad understanding of the studied phenomena using various data collection instruments with quantitative and qualitative characteristics. An innovative academic tool was introduced, namely a thematic UAV platform that systematically exposed students to the principles underlying robotic systems and the scientific method, thereby stimulating their intellectual curiosity as a trigger to solve the posed challenge. Moreover, students came up with innovative teamwork-based solutions to a designed challenge while having an enjoyable and motivating time flying drones on an indoor obstacle course arranged by themselves. The preliminary findings may contribute to the design of other CBL experiences, supported by technology applied for educational purposes, which could promote the development of more disciplinary and transversal competencies in future engineers.

“…Popularmente conhecidos como ESC (Elctronic speed controller ), estes componentes são responsáveis por controlar a voltagem que será entregue ao motor (Figura 3.6). Consequentemente, esta variação de voltagem irá proporcionar um aumento ou redução da RPM, causando, então, um aumento ou redução do empuxo gerado [29]. Essa variação é controlada por meio do comando do operador da aeronave, seja ele físico (controle remoto) ou computacional.…”

“…Para que um VANT possa realizar um voo, este componente se torna essencial. Um controlador de voo é um circuito impresso, do inglês Printed Circuit Board (PCB), onde são processados diversos sinais de entrada que irão gerar sinais de saída que sejam adequados para a continuidade do voo, sendo considerado por muitos o cérebro da aeronave [29].…”

Topology optimization method application at drone arm structural project With the advancement of technology and the popularization of drones, these vehicles are being applied in various areas of industry. In addition to the advancement of drones, additive manufacturing has also been increasingly used in the market. Linked to it is the topological optimization that enables the construction of complex structures that are not possible to be manufactured through conventional methodologies. In this paper the application of topological optimization, through software Altair Inspire, will be studied on the arm of a drone, with the aim of increasing the stiffness. After the optimization, in order to prove the efficiency of this methodology, a structural analysis will be done comparing a commercial model with the optimized model.
