Attendance: Participants must attend all sessions
Prereq: Spreadsheet Skills (Excel); Some Familiarity with Aviation

Commercial aviation is extremely safe, in part due to knowledge gained from studying accidents. The investigation process and some of the most significant accidents are discussed. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to work with their peers in a small, self-directed, investigative team to solve a realistic (but fictional) aircraft accident mystery. New information on the crash will be given out each session as you piece together the facts to determine what caused the accident and build recommendations for improving flying safety.

The visual presentation of data is an essential skill in both academia and industry. While the fundamentals of data visualization have remained relatively stable, the tools and techniques in use today have changed greatly, allowing people to create interactive visualizations more quickly (for better and worse!).

This 2.5 hour session (1 hour discussion, 1.5 hour hands-on)--geared towards beginners and people with basic knowledge of data visualization--aims to help you create better data visualizations faster by explaining the fundamental principles behind good design, while providing you with hands-on experience using industry-standard tools. We aim to answer some of the when’s, why’s, and how’s of data vis, pulling insights from graphic design to cognitive science, as well as our experience at various data-focused startups. Please bring your laptop! (Windows or Mac is preferred due to some of the software we will be running.)

Advance sign-up is not required, but it will be helpful to the presenters. Please sign up at:  https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1x3GtBRMv5hWcYZXxWz1GKvXjqOMsmcAe5j0gW-22o0A/viewform?usp=send_form.

Modern robots tend to operate at slow speeds in complex environments, limiting their utility in high-tempo applications. In the RACECAR course, you will be tasked with pushing the boundaries of unmanned vehicle speed. Participants will work in teams of 3-5 to develop dynamic autonomy software to race a converted RC car equipped with LIDAR, camera, inertial sensors and embedded processing around a large-scale, “real-world” course. The course culminates with a timed competition to navigate an MIT tunnel network. To subscribe, send an e-mail to racecar-iap-course-subscribe@mit.edu with a description of your programming / robotics experience and MIT/SUTD affiliation.

Participants must attend all lectures and capstone demonstration. Additionally, 6-10 hours per week of hands-on effort is required to complete the objective task. Attendance at the hackathons is strongly suggested but not required in cases of conflict with other IAP activities.

Prereqs: Advanced undergraduates and graduates with some background in controls or robotics. Majors include AeroAstro, Mechanical, Ocean, and EECS. Students with a background in computer science with interest in robotics and controls may also effectively participate.

Time Capsule to Mars is a global endeavour whose purpose is to send a bit of humanity to Mars. The spacecraft will carry photos, videos and other digital media to be preserved for future generations when the next big leap in space travel is achieved.  TC2M intends to be the first student led mission to another planet.  As a joint effort between universities throughout the country, the project brings about a partnership between educational and the professional world.  
 
The scope of the IAP for this project is to assist in developing the systems level requirements for the mission.  Currently the main drivers for success lie in further developing the concepts for communications, power, GNC, and propulsion subsystems engineering. As an example, the communications team would be needed to help determine how often to communicate with DSN and the antenna that would be needed for this, and in the process the team will develop an initial link budget. This work would then feed into the power requirements, GNC development, and propulsion needs.
 
TC2M is not a paper project. It is a CubeSat  project that will be built and sent to Mars in 2017. This is an opportunity for students to make a mark on humanity and be part of a team of elite engineers working on a historic project! The project starts on Friday, January 9, and wraps up at the end of IAP with a presentation to program representatives and other industry members. Meeting times will be decided at the kick-off meeting.

Ever wonder what that big white structure by Building 33 is?  Come explore the Wright Brothers Wind Tunnel on this tour!

Learn about research projects that have been carried out in the wind tunnel, and, if conditions permit, experience the wind when the tunnel is on!

For more than a century, Massachusetts Institute of Technology wind tunnels have proven instrumental tools in the examination of aerospace, architectural, vehicular, sports and other engineering systems.  In addition to the usual force and moment balance system, this 7 X 10-foot elliptical cross-section wind tunnel has the necessary auxiliary equipment for inlet and diffuser testing, gust generation, and production of thick boundary layers to model the earth's boundary layer.
