This course provides experience in the integration of math, science, and
engineering principles into a comprehensive engineering design project. Open-ended, client-based design problems emphasize a multidisciplinary approach to total system design providing multiple paths to a number of feasible and acceptable solutions which meet the stated performance requirements. Design teams are required to develop product specifications, generate alternatives, make practical engineering approximations, perform appropriate analysis to support the technical feasibility of the design, and make decisions leading to an optimal system design. System integration, human factors engineering, computer-aided design, maintainability, and fabrication techniques are addressed. This course provides an integrative experience in support of the overarching academic program goal, and is often interdisciplinary in nature. ***This is a provisionally approved course for the Aerospace Engineering Major (AEN0) and must undergo review by the Curriculum Committee NLT AY28-1. Pending ABET-PEV review of ET=3.5CR.***
