ME-314: Concurrent engineering project

L'étudiant apprend à appliquer les compétences acquises en travaillant dans une équipe responsable d'une portion d'un projet plus vaste. ...

Description

This lecture presents a Bachelor's project conducted in the SP80 context, aiming to develop a sailboat capable of breaking the world speed record by reaching 80 knots. The project focuses on enabling the rear drivers to see the kite by installing a camera that transmits the image to a screen directly in front of them. The process involved researching and combining components, such as a camera from Fink Lucid and a Xenark 10.1-inch screen, connected to a central computer. The mechanical integration of the camera on the boat, including shortening the tube and testing vibration with different anti-vibration supports, was detailed. The camera was mounted on a turret that rotates 360° with the kite, using various supports to form a tripod-like structure.

Bachelor's degree

A bachelor's degree (from Middle Latin baccalaureus) or baccalaureate (from Modern Latin baccalaureatus) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded by colleges and universities upon completion of a course of study lasting three to six years (depending on institution and academic discipline). The two most common bachelor's degrees are the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and the Bachelor of Science (BS or BSc).

Bachelor of Science

A Bachelor of Science (BS, BSc, SB, or ScB; from the Latin scientiae baccalaureus) is a bachelor's degree awarded for programs that generally last three to five years. The first university to admit a student to the degree of Bachelor of Science was the University of London in 1860. In the United States, the Lawrence Scientific School first conferred the degree in 1851, followed by the University of Michigan in 1855.

Bachelor of Engineering

A Bachelor of Engineering (BE or BEngg) or a Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BSc (Engg) or BSE) is an undergraduate academic degree awarded to a student after three to five years of studying engineering at an accredited college or university. In the United Kingdom, a Bachelor of Engineering degree will be accredited by one of the Engineering Council's professional engineering institutions as suitable for registration as an incorporated engineer or chartered engineer with further study to masters level.

Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineering is the study of physical machines that may involve force and movement. It is an engineering branch that combines engineering physics and mathematics principles with materials science, to design, analyze, manufacture, and maintain mechanical systems. It is one of the oldest and broadest of the engineering branches. Mechanical engineering requires an understanding of core areas including mechanics, dynamics, thermodynamics, materials science, design, structural analysis, and electricity.

Bachelor of Applied Science

A Bachelor of Applied Science (BAS or BASc) is an undergraduate academic degree of applied sciences. In Canada, the Netherlands and other places the Bachelor of Applied Science (BASc) is equivalent to the Bachelor of Engineering, and is classified as a professional degree. In Australia and New Zealand this degree is awarded in various fields of study and is considered a highly specialized professional degree.
