Prerequisites: (MATH UN1101 and MATH UN1102 and PHYS UN1401 and PHYS UN1402)
First semester of a senior capstone sequence for students interested in aerospace engineering. Focused on the technical design, prototyping, simulation, and validation of aerospace systems. Students work in teams to develop projects incorporating mechanical, electrical, and aerospace subsystems, progressing from concept to functional prototype. Emphasis is placed on 3D design, subsystem integration, critical testing, and mission-driven specifications and design reviews. Involves brainstorming concept generation, literature review, incorporation of multiple constraints, adherence to appropriate engineering codes and standards, and the production of a layout drawing of the proposed capstone design project in a Computer Aided Design (CAD) software tools. Business and product framing activities will support the technical work with market and mission relevance
Second semester of a senior capstone sequence for students interested in aerospace engineering focused on system-level integration, manufacturability, and launch readiness of aerospace systems. Students carry forward validated prototypes from Design I and advance them through pre-production and manufacturing sprints. Final deliverables include system demonstrations, validation reports, go-to-market strategies, and public-facing showcase materials. Students will adhere to appropriate engineering codes and standards and incorporate realistic design and manufacturing constraints
Rapid prototyping and engineering skills for experiments operating in altered gravity environments. Topics include parabolic flight mechanics, human physiology in reduced gravity, the space environment, mechanical and electrical design for flight hardware, data acquisition, experiment operations, safety analysis, fault tree methods, and payload integration requirements. Team-based development of a flight-ready microgravity experiment concept culminating in a Payload Integration Package (PIP), Critical Design Review (CDR), and Technical Readiness Review (TRR), with emphasis on flight readiness, safety procedures, and payload integration
