The process involves building amodel of the preliminary aircraft design, testing, evaluating, and improving upon the original design inorder to produce the best aircraft possible. The first phase of the detail design process involvesdesigning the wind tunnel model and writing a test plan that will result in an accurate assessment of thequality of the preliminary design. The preliminary design of the aircraft must be scaled to account forthe wind tunnel size and wind tunnel balance constraints.7 The majority of the model structure is printedwith a 3-D printer using CATIA, and the internal support structure is designed to give the model Proceedings of the 2014 American Society for

FLL 2022-2023 Season: SuperPowered™ [6] was chosen as a basebecause the energy theme is relevant to a variety of engineering majors for the innovationcomponent.On Day 1 of the project, students are assigned to teams of six and begin the project bycompleting a team contract that outlines expectations for collaboration, communication,individual responsibilities, a project timeline, and plans for conflict resolution. This step helps setthe tone for shared accountability and effective teamwork throughout the project.A key focus of Day 1 is giving students flexibility to define their energy problem and choose towork on the innovation component, robotics

The GC is of relatively low cost and can greatly helpstudents wishing to pursue a graduate (MS or PhD) degree in future, besides being helpful inpractice. A student is required to devise a plan of study (POS) in consultation with the two advisorsand requires a contract between the student, graduate college and the school.
