1. Joint AIAA/IGTI Student TeamEngine Design Competition

   50th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting Nashville, TN January 8 – 13, 2012 Ian Halliwell
2. Progress A memorandum of Understanding was drawn up between AIAA and ASME/IGTI in September 2011 This provided broad guidelines for setting up a new event Joint AIAA/IGTI Engine Design Competition for Undergraduate Student Teams Participating Technical Committees are from AIAA : Gas Turbine Engines, High Speed Air Breathing Propulsion & Air Breathing Propulsion Systems Integration from IGTI : Aircraft Engines & Education
3. Value Added/Issues to Address Value is added with a joint competition Synergy – sharing costs and workloads Larger network of mentors/professionals More participation possible using both organizations Issues to Address Organizational structure to include AIAA and IGTI Advertising the competition Funding - prize money and travel budget Judging written proposals presentation at AIAA JPC/IGTI Turbo Expo by 3 leading teams
4. Strategy (Part 1) ASME adds $6000 to $6000 from AIAA Foundation Stay with $5000 for prizes Leaves $7000 for T & L for 3 leading student teams Currently seeking industrial sponsorship through OAI Consortium Success is made more likely by collaboration AIAA has detailed judging system already in place Judging panel of 6 is drawn from interested Technical Committees Champions: Ian Halliwell (AIAA GTE TC and IGTI Education & Aircraft Engines) Ken Van Treuren (IGTI Education & Aircraft Engines) Set up a “Joint AIAA/IGTI Engine Design Competition Working Group” consisting of 3 members from each organization
5. Strategy (Part 2) Detailed plan to IGTI BoD in June, 2011. This included: Annual schedule Division of labor (RFP, judging, website, publicity, etc.) Venue of final judging (One possibility is to have the 3 best teams attend either TurboExpo or JPC to present their designs to a panel of judges) The intention is to retain the AIAA structure, format & judging criteria
6. Working Group to provide: Ideas for future competition topics RPF authors Technical input to the RFPs Mentors for student teams, preferably from industry Access to academic networks to encourage additional participation Publicity in Europe as well as USA Judging panel members (All judges must read all proposals!) Further ideas for development & growth
7. Schedule (2011-2012 as an example)
