Aerospace engineering undergrad senior design project ideas?

senior design project ideas aerospace engineering

Hey guys, coming up on my last year as an aerospace engineer undergrad and I wanted get some ideas before school started. I'm open all ideas even if they are not directly related to rockets or planes. I just want something that would be doable, challenging, but fun!

Thank you in advance:)

Change it up and do something that swims, like a robotic fish. It's topical (the Navy actively funds this type of development) and a swimmer's motion is governed by aerodynamic principles that you learn in undergrad. Just think of an underwater task you want to complete and make something that does it (e.g., cleaning a ship hull).

Some aspects are easier than designing something that flies (you don't need to worry about generating lift to keep it in the air), but also more challenging (things need to be waterproof). Also, universities tend to have pools which make good/fun testing areas for your vehicle.

If you're interested, I wrote a chapter on bio inspired swimmers for a book called Bio-inspired design, which isn't out yet, but a preprint of the chapter is on arxiv here ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1801.09714 ). It covers different types of swimmer's, how they work, and proposes concept designs for vehicles that use these swimming principles. Somewhere to get started maybe!

I will definitely look into this, thank you so much!

I did a project optimising a Fixed pitch rotor blade, was super interesting.

A fixed pitch rotor blade? Can you elaborate? How can a helicopter be controlled when the pitch is fixed?

I know someone who’s final project ended up being a 1/5th scale Cessna 172.

It was pretty neat. She added bomb bays too, because what good is a model airplane if you can’t drop things on people

Man that sounds awesome! It seems your HS is way cooler than mine was

do something in quadcopters... That's cheap and a pretty cool demo.

How about a fire fighting quadcopter, when a the smoke alarms ring, it launches and does a quick survey of the building exterior while another flies the interior corridors and tries to send video really quick on who is inside the building and if they are overcome by smoke.

I have a DJI drone so this would definitely be pretty cool to do!

Design/build a radio-controlled airplane or drone from scratch.

I love this Idea!

A rocket landing via helicopter autorotation is something I was really interested in doing before I ended up joining a different team.

That sounds really cool and I would love to share that with my team.

How a about a new rocket motor design?

I have not taken rocket propulsion yet unfortunately but I would love to do that.

Since "We tried them all back in the 1960s and we already picked most of the ones that don't suck" sounds too much like I'm a hater, I'll use academician-speak and say "New rocket motor designs are likely not within the scope of a Senior Project."

A conceptual design to build Thunderbird 2 as a hybrid airship.

Nuclear powered engines, can be applied for both rockets and big boy fast planes

That would be cool! I would need to learn a little more about nuclear energy and how we could possibly use it.

Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering Program

Capstone Program

The two-semester Capstone program (MAE 4800 and 4810) provides an opportunity for students to solve real engineering problems while working closely with faculty and industry sponsors. Sponsors provide the project requirements, funding, and mentorship, the faculty provide overall project guidance and management, and the students provide the solutions.

The overall program goal is to improve students’ “design to realization” skills. Student progress is closely monitored through lectures, lab sessions, formal design reviews, informal meetings, and oral presentations. The program also incorporates cutting edge modeling and management software to help familiarize students with tools they will likely encounter during their careers.

Sponsors benefit by having one of their important engineering problems be the top priority of a student team. Often these projects are ones the sponsor may not have the time or resources to pursue internally. Having a committed student team dedicated to the project provides the sponsor with a very cost-effective solution. The sponsor also receives all IP, documentation, prototypes, and materials from the project. One additional benefit of the program is that students become familiar with a corporate environment and how things get done in that industry.

Multidisciplinary projects, including mechanical and aerospace engineering students and faculty and students from other USU departments, are encouraged. Projects of this type more closely resemble those they will encounter in industry.

Capstone I (MAE 4800) – Project Design

At the start of the first semester students select a project they would like to work on from among the potential projects submitted by sponsors. Student project teams are formed and each team meets with its sponsor to understand and refine the project requirements. These requirements, when combined with independent research, become the basis for the project design plan document. The document outlines the planned engineering methodologies, schedules, budgets, and any specialized materials.

During this semester, students present peer-critiqued formal design reviews. Sponsors are highly encouraged to attend these reviews and provide guidance.

Capstone II (MAE 4810) – Project Build

This semester’s focus is on the construction of the project. The teams create, test, refine, and demonstrate engineering prototypes. At the end of the semester, each team provides a written design document and delivers their final prototypes. The report summarizes the project, describes the alternate solutions considered, and details the selected final design. Each team also delivers an oral presentation of the completed project to the sponsor, faculty advisors, and peers.

Project Success

Three hundred plus capstone projects have been successfully completed over the life of the program. Some have resulted in marketable products and several more are in various stages of determining their marketability.

Several projects have received national and international recognition including multiple awards in government and industry sponsored student competitions. Some recent examples include:

Projects completed for industry sponsors during the 2019-2020 academic year include test systems, new designs, proof of concept, automations, and product improvements.

Sponsorship

Projects are more likely to be successful when sponsors are involved with the project outcome. Sponsors are asked to designate a mentor from their organization to work with the student team. Mentors provide critical insights that help to ensure projects meet their design requirements. This mentorship is invaluable to a project’s success.

Our sponsors represent a broad cross-section of industry and government including companies in the manufacturing, construction, health care, education, aerospace, consumer, and defense segments. We gratefully acknowledge their support!

Some of our current sponsors include:

autoliv

If you have a project you would like to sponsor, please contact us at [email protected] to set up a time to talk about the project and how best to schedule its inclusion in the program.

Senior Capstone Projects

Undergraduate students participate in a rigorous design-and-build project focusing on the skills and knowledge unique to the field of aerospace engineering.

All projects provide students with focused mentoring, an opportunity to engage in interdisciplinary teamwork, practice communication skills and gain a deeper knowledge of regulatory requirements; fiscal and procurement management; social and ethical considerations and market awareness.

We offer a variety of project opportunities within the industry, student organizations and in-house research. Students also have the option to propose their own projects. Some of our past completed projects range from Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), CubeSats, rocket launches, drones, and supersonic flight. Applications have covered search and rescue, wildlife conservation, essential deliveries, environmental preservation, and more.

Capstone options

When selecting a capstone project, students should weigh their research and subject interests, relevant skills to contribute and career goals.

As part of the industry capstone program, students participate in company-sponsored projects that tackle real-world, multidisciplinary engineering problems while receiving support and mentorship from their sponsors.

Students in select A&A-affiliated RSOs may choose to advance their annual projects through their senior capstone. Recent RSO capstones have included SARP, SEDS and A&A CubeSat.  

Faculty-led research capstone projects advance the theoretical understanding of aerospace topics and can involve focused, specialized research or more expansive concepts. When sponsored by industry or government organizations, these projects generally entail wider aircraft design or space systems.

Large team projects must accommodate both domestic and international students, so the selected topics must not involve any constraints related to export-controlled material. Some projects may require US citizenship and/or NDA constraints.
