 mplishments include a B.S.E.E (University of Florida)\, an M.S.E.E. in Ele
 ctrical Engineering (Air Force Institute of Technology)\, and a Masterâ
 €™s in Business Administration (University of West Florida). She is a 
 licensed P.E. in the state of Colorado. Maj Hendrix has also published two
  papers on the use of a model-based Linear Quadratic Gaussian controller t
 o mix both inertial and camera measurement inputs to provide navigation so
 lution updates that allow a micro-sized helicopter to maintain hover. 2. D
 r. Debora Elam is the Team Leader for the Software Engineering Process at 
 New York Air Brake\, a Knorr-Bremse company. She is a senior software engi
 neer with experience in PC-based and embedded software development. She is

 novation in software development. She has been an IEEE member for many yea
 rs and actively supported various local Pikes Peak Section events. 3. Russ
  Bogardus is currently retired but volunteers as an electrical engineer wi
 th Engineering Ministries International here in Colorado Springs. His last
  volunteer effort was the preliminary electrical design of a missionary co
 mplex in Ecuador which included a medical clinic\, homes for abused childr
 en and storefronts for micro industries. Prior to that he spent forty year
 s as a Chief Engineer/System Engineer with both IBM and Lockheed Martin co
 nceptualizing\, designing\, developing\, integrating\, testing and install
 ing large scale\, complex hardware and software weapon systems for the DoD
 . His experience runs the gamut from satellite command and control\, speci
 al operations helicopters and airplanes\, battle management systems\, and 
 integrated ship/helicopter anti-submarine warfare systems. He has a B.S.E.
 E (Union College) and an M.S.E.E. (University of Rochester). He is a licen
 sed P.E. in the state of Colorado (2011). He has also co-authored seven pa
 pers in the fields of biomedical engineering and functional and operationa
 l testing of large scale weapon systems. 4. Dave Wells has been an IEEE me
 mber since 1953 when he was a student at Oklahoma State University. He has
  a BSEE degree from OSU and an MSEE degree from the University of Denver. 
 In 1955 he went on active duty as a 2nd lieutenant with the Army Signal Co
 rps. In 1957 he was hired by the FAA Academy in Oklahoma City\, to write c
 ourse material and teach the TACAN system of air navigation to maintenance
  technicians. In 1960 he moved to Denver\, joining the staff of the Denver
  Research Institute as a technical writer and engineer for an Air force pr
 oject. In 1968 he took a job with a start- up company\, Computer Image Cor
 poration\, to participate in the development of computer animation equipme
 nt. In 1974 he became a staff member of the Los Alamos National Laboratory
  in Los Alamos\, New Mexico\, working on an 8-beam (CO2) laser fusion rese
 arch project which took five years to complete. He then transferred to ano
 ther five year project\, the Proton Storage Ring which was being added to 
 a medium energy accelerator facility at the laboratory. He retired from th
 e laboratory in 1990 and moved to Colorado Springs in 1998. Shortly there
