Aerospace Vehicle Design I

Catalog description

The is the first module of the Aerospace Engineering capstone senior design sequence. The course will facilitate a synthesis of previously acquired theoretical and empirical knowledge to the design of a practical aerospace vehicle. It will teach undergraduate students how to apply their academic knowledge to the professional practice of engineering, with an emphasis on the aerospace field. The projects are semi-complex and can only be pursued in multidisciplinary teams so that each student has a clearly defined leadership role and is responsible for their subsystem. Analogous to standard industry practice, student teams follow the systems engineering V-Model project life cycle to realize the project objectives.
