Aims
To provide practical experience of project engineering team approaches to conceptual design for aerospace systems, utilising core course material assimilated in years one and two of the course, leading up to a preliminary design review. The focus for the course will be spacecraft systems.
Syllabus
Students carry out a conceptual group design project leading up to a systems requirements review and a preliminary design review. Conceptual design in aerospace engineering requires requirements analysis, the development of systems models, an understanding of when sufficient analysis has be done to demonstrate the feasibility of a concept, and engineering trade-offs to identify the most promising concepts.
