AVDASI 4 - Aerospace Vehicle Design and Systems Integration - Group Design Project
A group design project that will enable the student to exercise and consolidate the design, aeronautical engineering and management skills in the context of a complete aerospace vehicle design study.
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; bring innovation and creativity into the design process; 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 complex specifications with the appreciation of the contributions of other team members; communicate clearly through oral and written presentation within a group to facilitate the design process and to assist the group in publicising its findings; understand the management of large group projects.
Teaching will be delivered through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sessions, which may include lectures, practical activities supported by drop-in sessions, problem sheets and self-directed exercises.
10% PDR - Preliminary Design Review 15% PEDR - Preliminary Engineering Design Report 15% FDR - Final Design Review 40% Individual report and 20% viva/poster
PDR, PEDR, and FDR are completed in groups.
