Last term, freshmen students were introduced to methodic design principles: trade studies, gap analyses,
and risk reduction. The term concluded with proposal writeups. This term will execute the proposed
design. Concepts like PDR (preliminary design review), CDR (critical design review) to benchmark thresholds
and objectives will be reinforced.
Given the dynamic nature of this site, students should habitually view this site,
at least weekly. Files are posted for both student preparation, documentation and
resources. Documents are posted as Adobe PDF files which are viewable with
