Description
Optical Communications are at a high point of interest by the space engineering community. After successful projects like the Lunar Laser Communications Demonstration (LLCD), NASA has become interested in augmenting their current Deep Space Network (DSN) with optical communication links. One such link is Deep Space Optical Communications (DSOC) which will be launching with the Psyche mission. To gain a full understanding of the advantages of this network, this thesis will go over the history and benefits of optical communications both on Earth and in space. This thesis will then go in depth on NASAs DSOC project through an algorithmic implementation of the communications channel.

Description
A research project turned creative project focusing on the narrative of the student's perspective in the Next Generation Service Corps scholarship program. Using survey results from the program members, narratives of their experiences were compiled to offer insight and direction for the growth of the program.<br/><br/>A video of the defense can be found at this link: https://youtu.be/O63NRz0z1Ys

Description
This thesis will be investigating organizational theory behind engagement within the business fraternity Delta Sigma Pi (DSP) at Arizona State University. The focus will be around the lack of attendance and enthusiasm toward the required events for members within the fraternity despite a previous demonstration of engagement during their recruitment and pledging process. The paper will analyze this through the four frames presented in Reframing Organizations by Lee Bolman and Terrence Deal. The four frames are human resource, structural, political, and symbolic. The paper will propose solutions to increase engagement. The solutions include reducing the requirements of membership, reforming the election process, requiring a baseline of members to pre-commit to attending events, increasing support for one another within the organization, and modifying the recruitment process. These solutions are based on the longevity of the problem within the organization and Bolman and Deal’s frames. Analyzing this problem and the potential solutions will help future members of the organization combat this issue and protect DSPs relationships with professional organizations. This has been a very interesting and insightful project. I learned a great deal and am proud to leave something to this organization behind that can help the fraternity and other chapters of Delta Sigma Pi going forward.
