3.00 Credits
Introduces all elements of the Transatmospheric Vehicle (TAV) design process from proposal preparation through detailed specification and prototyping. Students are organized into design teams to develop a solution to a TAV systems problem of practical interest by drawing on their background in aerospace engineering science, machine design, and manufacturing methods. Topics include problem definition and requirement analysis, design specifications, concept development, reliability, consideration of alternative solutions, materials considerations, engineering prototyping, and presentation skills. Writing-intensive assignments help develop communication skills. When Offered: Fall term annually. Credit Hours: 3
