ENG 491

Spring 2015 All Classes

All Classes

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.

1 to 4 undergraduate hours. 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.

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.
