launchplatform integration. Each spring, students in the design class begin the process anewwith a new satellite concept so that new projects are always germinating to take the placeof those coming to completion and awaiting launch.Our initial strategy called for building simple satellites containing little more thanbatteries for power, temperature sensors to provide elementary telemetry and transmittersto broadcast signals to the ground. We planned to advertise the existence of our satelliteafter completion of construction and flight qualification testing with the idea that anotherlaunch carrying less mass than full capacity would offer to take us along for free. In thisscenario, our satellite would bolt onto the uppermost-stage rocket body and go into

With projects alreadyhammered out, the second summer’s prototyping block got off to a swift start with livelydiscussions on methods and data collection, setting up surveys and experiments. Fellows wereasked to share and update prototyping plans with their advisors throughout the four-weekprototyping block and work toward a presentation of their initial findings and experience.The initial goal of the testing or validation block was to elicit substantive feedback fromindependent outsiders on the projects, with a focus on building communication skills throughpreparing and refining presentations before a month-long

to problems thathave multiple constraints. While there are many versions of the phases involved in engineeringdesign [1], the fundamental stages are:1. Planning and Task Clarification: This is the first step where detailed information about product requirements are collected, leading to the formulation of a requirements list. This list is pivotal in directing the design process and subsequent stages, necessitating frequent updates to accommodate ongoing changes and feedback.2. Conceptual Design: The conceptual design phase involves abstracting key problems to define a principal solution, later made more specific through material and layout choices for assessment. This phase is crucial as it lays the foundation for the solution

Fortunately,even very simple parts such as those presented in standard graphics texts can be modeled usingdifferent strategies. In planning a part model, the designer must decompose or “featurize” thepart to be created in the solid modeling system. Two common strategies for modeling simpleparts involve decomposition into features based on either additive or subtractive approaches.30Metrics for Evaluating Solid Model Part ComplexityIt is important to choose parts for CAD instruction that present increasing
