Description
In the STEM Aerodynamics course, students will discover how the four disciplines connect as they design and develop a wing airfoil prototype.
Once they are familiar with the principles of aerodynamics, they will have the opportunity to design innovative solutions to real-world problems, challenges, and needs.
The purpose of the STEM Aerodynamics course is to provide learners the opportunity to explore and design objects with shapes that minimize the impact of opposing airflow.
Learners will be challenged to design and develop a wing airfoil prototype by taking on the role of an aerodynamics engineer. They must also adhere to the given specification requirements and constraints as they learn about various aerodynamics concepts. FInally, they must acquire the necessary skills to apply those concepts while designing their streamlined airfoil model, and then test it in the wind tunnel.
