ENGR 96RIntroduction to Engineering Design: Rockets
Engineering · 2 units · Undergraduate lower division (0-99)
Introduction to basic concepts in aerospace engineering, computer-aided design, finite element analysis, 3D printing, carbon fiber layup, telemetry, general mechanical design and assembly, and machine shop fabrication. Concepts applied to team-based design, construction, and testing of small 3D-printed rockets and larger, high-power rockets. Students present their designs orally and in writing, and evaluate their performance against other student teams. Rockets fired from Mojave Desert launch site in class field trip. No prior experience or coursework needed. Study led by experienced undergraduate members of Bruin Rocket Project. Meetings, and design and fabrication homework, make use of Makerspace facilities and tools.
