AB  -                Integration of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering                       Preliminary Design Capstone CoursesThis is one of two papers describing the propulsion capstone design experience at our university.In 2007, we began accepting freshmen for the first time into our Mechanical Engineering (ME)program. In the 2010-2011 academic year, we offered for the first time the new ME capstonedesign courses with concentrations in either air-breathing propulsion or robotics. This paperdescribes the propulsion preliminary design course; a second paper will focus on the follow-onpropulsion detail design course.The first graduating class of ME majors included three students in the propulsion track. Themutual dependence of the new propulsion track and well-established aircraft preliminary designcourse under our Aerospace Engineering (AE) program made the integration of the MEpropulsion and AE aircraft projects an attractive proposition. This paper discusses this teamedrelationship, the design process, the various design phases throughout the semester, and somedetails of the resulting engine cycle and preliminary component designs for the inlet, nozzle,compressor, and turbine. In addition, the assessment of the course outcomes: demonstratingcommunication competence and proficiency in engineering design via a capstone experience, bymembers of our Industrial Advisory Board will be discussed.As this was the first time the course was offered with a small group of students, this paper willalso discuss the lessons learned as well as future adaptations that will be needed as thepopulation of students within the propulsion track increases as the overall ME program grows.
