Expected prior knowledge In order to be admitted to the Design Synthesis Exercise you must meet the following requirements:

ï¿½ Completed Propedeutic exam ï¿½ Completed second year:

o Not more than 1 subject (with max. 5 ECTS) in the 2nd year with grade 5.0 and

o All other subjects in 2nd year with grade 6.0 or higher and

o All 2nd year exercises, practicals and projects completed Please contact the study counsellor in case of mitigating circumstances.

Selection takes place on the basis of results at the end of the second period (January/February 2010) for the spring exercise and on the basis of the results upto and including the August exams for the fall exercise.

Course Contents The Design Synthesis Exercise (DSE) consists of two parts: A design project and supporting short courses.

In the design project the student is provided with an

opportunity to obtain ï¿½designï¿½ experience. This means that the student goes through the complete design process, from drawing up a program of demands (set of requirements), concept analysis and design, concept selection to the presentation of the final design, in a structured and iterative manner. He/she will experience the difficulty of making well-motivated design choices, thereby taking into account (sometimes conflicting) demands, etcetera. He/she will also experience that design iterations are necessary to tune nonoptimal design decisions to meet the specifications drawn up at

the start of the exercise.

Some examples of aerospace vehicles designed in the past include:

- Small affordable launch vehicle - Sonic cruiser

- Cargoglider

- Aircraft Carrier Trainer Aircraft - Mars probe

- Space tug

- Multi purpose unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) - Ultralight sailplane

- Flying car

- On and offshore wind energy generator - World sailing speed record competitor - Ultra long range reconnaisance aircraft

The topics dealt with in the short courses include: Project Management, Systems Engineering, Library Utilisation, and Oral Presentation. These topics are integrated into the design project.

The credits that can be gained by successfully completing the exercise are 15 ECTS.

Study Goals In the design project, the students must demonstrate that they have the basic knowledge and skills necessary to accomplish a successful ï¿½paperï¿½ design of an aerospace system. By completing the project, the student will demonstrate:

- Technical competence or ability to apply knowledge

- Design competence (Perform conceptual design of an aircraft or spacecraft system, integrate life-cycle and sustainability issues in the design)

- Effective communications (plan, prepare, deliver and assess meetings, oral presentations and written reports).

- Professional attitude.

- Work in multi-disciplinary teams - Manage their work

- Perform peer and self reviews

- Understand contemporary & societal issues in their work - Exhibit life long learning attitudes and abilities

Education Method Project (full working week)

Literature and Study Materials

Will be communicated prior to the start of the exercise.

Assessment The work is graded individually. Two grades are given. One for project work and one for oral presentations. More detailed information on the grading including the grading criteria is made available at the start of the exercise. Grading takes place in the week after the exercise.

Remarks All chairs are involved in the Design Synthesis Exercise to ensure multidisciplinarity.

The exercise is coordinated by a coordination committee

Remarks This course is the last in a series of three. It is preceded by Aerospace Design and Systems Engineering Elements I (AE1201) in BSc year 1 and followed by Aerospace Design and Systems Engineering Elements I (AE2101) in BSc year 2

The course is preceding the Design Synthesis (AE3200).

Set-up During the course students attend active lectures that cover relevant topics. Students are expected to have read the related course material in advance of class sessions; class sessions then consist of introduction of new theory, and exploration of the

implications of the theory using real-life examples.

2.From Internet: Oberkampf, Trucano and Hirsch, âVerification, Validation, and Predictive Capability in Computational Engineering and Physicsâ, SAND2003-3769, Sandia National Laboratories, 2003

Assessment E-exams plus pass/fail for simulation plans (on basis of peer reviewedplan) + grades for assignments.

Set-up The course âSimulation, Verification and Validationâ will be taught with a combination of teaching methods, and will address topics from multiple aerospace domains. Using a classic lecture format students will be taught the concepts of simulation, verification and validation. A course overview will introduce the group assignments in three different domains, notably Aerodynamics (Computational Fluid Dynamics, CFD), Structures (Finite Element Analysis, FEM), and Flight Dynamics. Logistically the course is divided into three blocks of two weeks each. Every 2 week block will begin with a refresher lecture summarizing the specific domain knowledge (of relevant 1st and 2nd-year courses), including an on-topic sample case. Following the refresher lecture, student groups are established, the group assignments are distributed, and the student group are tasked to analyse the assignment and generate a simulation plan. The simulation plan will be peer reviewed by two other student groups. At the end of the first week of each block, the student has to take an E-exam to test his knowledge of the specific domain. The second week is characterised by group work, where student groups using their simulation plan, work on completing their assignment, concluded by a written report. To stimulate focus on quality, at the end of each two week block the student
