Abstract

The Design/Synthesis Exercise (DSE) is the capstone project for the Bachelor of Science program at TU Delft, Faculty of Aerospace Engineering. This paper highlights its conceptual foundations, as well as the project management and systems engineering aspects involved throughout the 10-week full-time exercise. Two DSE projects – one aircraft-related, one spacecraft-related – are presented to give insight into typical design processes and associated outcomes observed in DSE projects.
