modular design approach (eg, various size fuselage and wings).Future Outlook. The work accomplished to date by this small team of students has produced enormousresults for our programs across the board. Academic design courses and individual student projects inaerospace, mechanical, and electrical engineering are benefitting by including these technologies andcapabilities. In addition, this has enabled students to participate in design team activities such as theAIAA Design, Build, Fly competition. This has had the positive effect of energizing students at theuniversity clamoring for aerospace experience and opportunities, and has been a primary attraction fornew students considering UAF. This has also directly resulted in several STEM feeder
vehicle dynamics, chassis design,and aerodynamics. Before these program changes, students competing in SAE collegiate-designchallenges such as Baja or Formula SAE designed vehicle systems and components prior toexperiencing the appropriate formal coursework. The tunnel-hull design project plays a role inaddressing the challenge these situations posed by introducing pre-major students to a vehicle-design process that includes calculations of fundamental vehicle forces.The tunnel-hull design project grew out of an earlier design project developed for high-schooland first-year engineering technology students who developed Ekranoplan or wing-in-ground–effect vehicles powered primarily with rubber bands.1 For the Ekranoplan project, the
