Course Objectives
The objective of this course is to help students gain “hands on research experience” through conducting a design/research project in Aerospace Engineering. In addition, the students will prepare a final project report and present it in front of an audience.
Course Content
An aerospace engineering design/research project carried out by a group of students involving, literature survey/competitor study, conceptual design, project planning for a design/research project, theoretical/experimental/numerical analyses and/or construction and testing, planning, preparation and presentation of project deliverables.
Course Learning Outcomes
The students taking the course are expected to:
- gain hands-on comprehensive design experience of an aerospace vehicle or a specific part of the vehicle,
- apply their knowledge acquired in aerospace engineering program in the design of an aerospace system and/or research work,
- apply various theoretical/experimental/numerical analysis methods which are widely used in aerospace design work,
- develop their communication and presentation skills and get acquainted with a team work environment.
