Capstone design projects on advanced aerospace vehicle controls and autonomy
Abstract
Approved for Public ReleaseThe Departments of Aerospace Engineering (AERO) and Mechanical Engineering (MEEN) at Texas A&M University, (TAMU) have a long tradition of excellence in educational engineering projects, including capstone design projects, student design,challenges, and student teams participating in national and international competitions. This proposal aims to develop a synergistic,relationship between the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the TAMU AERO and MEEN departments by conducting a portfolio of student,projects that are well aligned with the Navy?s strategic research and technology goals in several areas including flight controls an,d autonomy.The portfolio shall consist of 3 capstone design projects per year (2 AERO, 1 MEEN), participation in the hackathon-style, ?Aggie Invent? student design competition, and support for the Sounding Rocketry Team (SRT). The specific topics of the capstone de,sign projects will be jointly defined with ONR personnel to ensure relevance to the Navy?s mission and objectives. This project wil,l benefit the Navy by producing preliminary results for relevant research and technology problems, educating the future workforce in, technical areas of direct interest to the Navy?s strategic goals, and providing the Navy with privileged access to TAMU?s best engi,neering students.
