UBC AeroDesign designs, builds, and flies fixed-wing remote-control electric aircraft to participate in the annual SAE Aero Design competition series, providing UBC students with an excellent opportunity to gain experience in the field of aeronautical engineering. From aerodynamic and structural analysis, to propulsion and controls simulation, to machine learning and computer vision, we do it all!
ECE students can expect to work on the avionics (aircraft electronics and software) for our primary aircrafts and for a smaller drone that deploys from the Advanced Class primary aircraft. Avionics work can include:
Machine learning/computer vision models for target identification and navigation planning
- Machine learning/computer vision models for target identification and navigation planning
- Embedded programming for aircraft sensing and control
- Full stack programming for data visualization, target verification, and telemetry reporting
- Power supplies sizing/optimization that drives our electric motors and electronics
Additionally, if interested, ECE students have an equal opportunity to learn aircraft and mechanical design techniques!
We recruit annually in early September. Feel free to also email us at captain@ubcaerodesign.com to learn more about the team or interested in joining the team!
