STEM Aerodynamics eSeries
40000-7Description
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 airflow against them. Using a wind tunnel, tools, and accessories, learners are challenged to design and develop a wing airfoil prototype by taking on the role of an aerodynamics engineer. Learners must adhere to the specification requirements and constraints given, learn about various aerodynamics concepts, acquire the necessary skills to apply those ideas while designing their streamlined airfoil model, and test it in the wind tunnel.
Our integrated approach to STEM emphasizes innovation, problem-solving, critical-thinking, and creativity using hands-on training systems that allow students to apply math/science fundamentals to complete projects using the engineering design process. Students learn concepts related to STEM disciplines in a "learning by doing" environment.
The following learning platforms are available:
• 40000-90: 120Vac-60Hz (English) Stand-Alone
• 40000-75: 220Vac-50Hz (English) eSeries
• 40000-95: 220Vac-50Hz (English) Stand-Alone
