ENG 491

Spring 2013 Part of Term 1

Part of Term 1
Jan 14-May 1

Interdisciplinary Design Proj

Credit: 1 TO 4 hours.

Disciplined, multi-department, team-structured project design experience with an overall (or major phase) end-of-term completion date. Projects involve design specification through a proposal, analyses of cost and other tradeoffs among alternative designs, design review, fabrication and assembly, functional and environmental testing, and demonstrations (as applicable). Reports and presentations at the end of each term. Individual engineering activities as well as team responsibilities.

No graduate credit. Senior standing required. May be repeated. Credit toward the degree is determined by the student's major department. Prerequisite: Consent of instructor.

CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
55653	Lecture	CU1	12:00PM -12:50PM	MW	Siebel Center for Comp Sci	Carroll, D Dragic, P Coverstone, V Carney, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/13-05/01/13 Section Title: Nanosatellite Design Build 1 Section Info: Nanosatellite Design and Build 1 is an introductory course in the design of small satellites. It is an interdisciplinary, systems-level course that teaches to a range of topics, including electronics, space environments, attitude control and determination, and structural design, among others. The course is linked with a campus research library, and promotes the to students to get directly involved with real space missions and projects on going at the university. The course has a strong lab component, offering the opportunity to design and build real satellite hardware, and learn about and develop tests for simulating the space environment. After completing a lab training module, students formulate their own final semester projects with direct application to the current satellite programme. Students are expected to be highly independent with good time management skills, and are encouraged to continue to Nanosatellite Design and Build 2
41432	Laboratory	CU2	12:00PM -12:50PM	MW	Engineering Hall	Carroll, D Dragic, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/13-05/01/13 Special Approval: Instructor Approval Required Section Title: Nanosatellite Design Build 2 Section Info: Nanosatellite Design And Build 2 is an advanced level course in satellite design and systems engineering. This is a project and lab course, and has no lecture or test component. Students will learn to interface with other engineering disciplines, write professional requirements, prepare for engineering reviews, and address risk, all in the context of a spacecraft science mission. Additional specialization within a sub-field of satellite design (electronics, thermal management, systems engineering, attitude control, etc.) will happen throughout the context of a student project. These projects will vary range in scope and application, from designing new satellite components, to constructing new ground testing facilities, to developing and operating satellite qualification tests. Emphasis will be placed upon using good engineering judgement, best engineering practices, following through on requirements, and finalizing all projects with appropriate, professional-level documentation. This course offers a truly unique opportunity to work with a hands-on, open-ended, real engineering project in an environment as close to an industry experience as possible, while still providing the supervisory assistance of professors and teaching assistants.
