Description including Unit Aims
Design exercises will be used to introduce relevant methods and tools that will enable the student to exercise and consolidate aerospace engineering in the context of selected vehicles. Delivery of the course material will also develop presentation and management skills.
Intended Learning Outcomes
On successful completion of the project the student will be able to:
- apply design skills which integrate those gained from individual technical units of the curriculum
- use specific analytical or technical tools in consort to satisfy much broader criteria
- understand the limitations of the analytical or technical tools applied
- understand the need for compromise, i.e. the ability to recognise conflicting technical objectives and to find constructive compromises accordingly
- apply teamwork skills for collaborative efforts to satisfy specifications with the appreciation of the contributions of other team members
- communicate clearly through written presentations to facilitate the design process and to report on technical findings
- understand the management of design projects
Teaching Information
A series of seminars and lectures will be held over the course of the unit, with tutorial sessions for problem solving as required.
Assessment Information
An individual's mark has three components:
Assessment 1 (35%) done in-pairs.
Assessment 2 (35%) done in-pairs.
Assessment 3 (30%) done individually.
