Case Studies
The deliverables for the semester are versions of a detailed case study of an existing aircraft, prepared by teams of 4-5 students. Teams balancing student background and aircraft preferences will be formed by the second class meeting.
A suggested outline for the case study is found here.
The case study will develop over the entire semester with interim written and oral versions covering the evolving content and providing opportunity for feedback from faculty and peers. Team grades will be given for the written and oral versions.
All four versions will be read and graded by Prof. Hansman and Prof. Murman.
Mr. Haggerty will read and provide critical feedback on Version III.
Teams are encouraged to ask their Subject Matter Expert to read Version III for content accuracy.
