Status at KTH

• 3rd generation advanced design-build course
  completed
• 3 projects finishing up
• Subskimmer
• Sports car monocoque
• Leg prosthesis
• Considerable effort made on assessmentintroductio
  n and methodology further improvements planned
• 4th generation project tasks defined large
  model sail yachts, two teams formula student
  car body

Status at MIT Spring 04

• A prototype CAD/CAM CAE course (rapid
  prototyping, design/build/test/redesign) was run
  January 2004 and successfully met all objectives.
  Approval has been granted to repeat this course
  next January with future goals to expand to a
  full semester offering
• The two term aero capstone course
  (design/build/test of an autonomous flying
  quad-rotor) was completed in May
• A 3 term space capstone course started in
  February this will involve design/build/etc of
  modular, wireless-internal comms satellite to
  demonstrate design of modular componentry
  satellites
• A robotics mini-lab, using Lego Mindstorms kits,
  was successfully deployed in a first year
  introductory course. Student feedback was
  extremely positive for the lab that required
  students to design autonomous mobile robots to
  escape from a maze. This mini-lab was inspired by
  similar exercises reviewed at Chalmers on a
  previous CDIO meeting
• Based on the preceding, a proposal was generated,
  and just approved, for use of 20 Mindstorms in AY
  04-05 in three separate courses mini-labs
  demos for autonomy, robotics, hardware-software
  engineering, etc.

Nose up ... wings out ... take off on centennial
flights
The Wright brothers didn't have all the answers
when they made their first successful flight 100
years ago. Neither did the more than 90 third
class midshipmen who tried to duplicate that
flight by entering a "Centennial of Flight
Design Competition" on its anniversary, Dec. 17.
