Koster, Scott E. Palo  \nUniversity of Colorado  \nDepartment of Aerospace Engineering Sciences  \nBoulder, Colorado 80309-0429, USA  \nAbstract:  \nAll undergraduates in Aerospace Engineering Sciences (AES) are required to take a two semester capstone projects course sequence. This sequence includes ASEN 4018 Senior Projects I: Design Synthesis (Fall semester) and ASEN 4028 Senior Projects II: Design Practicum (Spring semester) . In this course senior students will develop a requirements-based design project in self-directed teams. The course is taught by a team of 10 faculty members and two staff members forming the Project Advisory Board (PAB) .  \nThis document describes the scope of a typical Aerospace Enginereing Sciences Senior Design project. A list of recent projects sponsored by faculty members or proposed by students is given in Appendix \\#2 .  \nBackground  \nIn the time-frame of 1995 to 2000 the AES department, under the leadership of A. R. Dick Seebass, started a reorganization of the undergraduate curriculum. Perceptions about what a quality education in aerospace engineering is and should be was gathered from employers, alumni, students and faculty. Key elements of that research suggested that there is a major need for hands-on learning through experimentation and design. The fundamental sciences should not be taught solely as theory but theory should have a laboratory component. Concepts learned in class had to be translated into experimental labs with a design component. The approach was termed“active learning.”  \nIn the same time frame the College of Engineering has developed a new building dedicated to active learning: the Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory (ITLL) . That building was equipped with facilities to support experiments and design laboratory exercises. The AES department took advantage of that opportunity and redesigned its undergraduate curriculum from sophomore to senior level in such a way that most courses include at least several weeks of laboratory activities in ITLL. This focus on design early on in the curriculum lead to aredevelopment of the capstone senior design course at the senior level.  \nThe undergraduate courses became proactive learning courses while establishing technical fundamentals. The implicit curriculum develops engineering skills in analysis, computing, design, experimentation, writing, and public speaking. Design components and team work are essential components of all sophomore courses and of many junior courses. Sophomore and several junior courses are co-taught by two faculty members with differing expertise and/or experience.  \nSenior Projects Course  \nAerospace Senior Design provides students with a high-quality, first-hand experience in the practice of aerospace engineering, producing a prototype to satisfy a specific need or to serve a particular purpose. The curriculum provides senior undergraduate students with a mentored experience working on a requirements-based design project in self-directed teams.  \nCDIO-Gent, 2008 1  \nAerospace Engineering Sciences University of Colorado at Boulder  \nProject ideas can be of two types: design of a new device, vehicle, or system, or design of an experiment to develop new technology or design principles. Both of these projects utilize established technology and design principles. All projects must begin with a requirements definition phase and must include components of a) mechanical, b) electrical and c) software subsystems.  \nFundamentals, techniques and tools learned in sophomore and junior courses will be applied ina team environment to carry an engineering idea through to a testable prototype, and to develop an understanding of the technology which would enable the idea to be further developed. Students integrate knowledge from the prior coursework in a practical design analysis based o","cbCaiix9RNbK0M9o","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiix9RNbK0M9o","pdf",644921,"English","# Abstract\n# Background\n## Active learning and curriculum redesign\n# Senior Projects Course\n## Course purpose and project types\n## Requirements, subsystems, and engineering process\n## Mentoring approach and workshops\n## Customer role and project acceptance\n# Appendix","[{\"question\":\"What are the two semesters included in the AES capstone senior design course sequence?\",\"answer\":\"The sequence includes ASEN 4018 Senior Projects I (Fall semester) and ASEN 4028 Senior Projects II (Spring semester).\"},{\"question\":\"What kinds of projects can students propose or develop?\",\"answer\":\"Projects can involve designing a new device, vehicle, or system, or designing an experiment to develop new technology or design principles.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the course process guided and what role does the customer play?\",\"answer\":\"Teams use a mentoring approach with two faculty advisors meeting weekly, supported by workshops as needed.
