MFG T 230 Manufacturing Team Project AerosPACE 5

Through AerosPACE (Aerospace Partners for the Advancement of Collaborative Engineering), students will construct a ¾ scale aircraft design, build, and fly project in distributed teams with members from multiple schools. Conceptualizing a project, developing and documenting a detailed design, fabricating a prototype, testing, analysis, and reporting. Students will need to commit to three quarters in duration, and be willing to travel for presentations and product demonstrations. Lab section provides access to college fabrication facilities and is an integral part of the process. Course may be repeated twice for credit. Prerequisites: Instructor permission.

Mathematics courses provide preparation for applying quantitative skills in vocational/ technical, health science/math/engineering, social science/communications, and humanities disciplines. In addition to the Student Core Learning Outcomes, the Program Specific Outcomes include: • Analytical reasoning: assessed by evaluating students’ work in graphical representations, narrative descriptions, and word problems that require analytical reasoning to complete. • Interpret and present mathematical knowledge: assessed by evaluating students’ work on graphical representations, narrative descriptions, and group work presentations. • Make connections between mathematics and the real world: assessed by evaluating student work on assignments and presentations that require designing mathematical solutions for real-world data sets and conditions. • Examine relationships and draw conclusions: assessed by evaluating student work on graphical representations of data and assignments that require drawing correlations between data.
