<p class="MsoNormal">To provide practical experience of engineering approaches and group-based working to the conceptual design of aerospace systems, utilising core course material assimilated in years one and two of the programme, leading up to a preliminary design review. The focus for the course will be the conceptual design of a spacecraft system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Students carry out a conceptual group design project leading up to a systems requirements review and a preliminary design review. Conceptual design in aerospace engineering requires requirements analysis, the development of systems models, an understanding of when sufficient analysis has be done to demonstrate the feasibility of a concept, and engineering trade-offs to identify the most promising concepts.<p></p></p>
