Capstone Project Background
■ Based on Cranfield University Group Design Project■ Originally two projects (1991-92)
– Aircraft and Spacecraft■ Success of team-style projects led to adoption across
Department (early 2000’s)■ Evolved into multi-year projects often with external
collaborators and links to graduate research■ Several projects are now cross-department

Administrative Info■ Learning Objectives
– Provide a realistic design learning environment to expose students to the complexities of modern engineering design processes, tools and practices.
■ Each project has its own “corporate” approach dictated by the industry-specific design process

Undergraduate Directed StudyMAAE 4917 (0.5 credit)
■ For students seeking additional “research” experience■ Calendar description:
– Student carries out a study, analysis, and solution of an engineering problem. Results presented in the form of a written report. Carried out under the close supervision of a faculty member. Intended for students interested in pursuing graduate studies. Requires supervising faculty member and proposal from student.
– Prerequisite: permission of the Department and completion of, or concurrent registration in, MAAE 4907 or SREE 4907.
■ Approach individual faculty in your area of interest first■ Directed studies must be approved by Department before
registration
