The goal was to design, build, and fly a hybrid rocket and obtain an altitude of precisely 2000 ft. I was the competition project manager, and facilitated communication with FSGC, met the requirements of the competition, and managed the team accordingly. I also conducted computational fluid dyamaics (CFD) of the rocket through StarCCM+, and executed the majority of the carbon fiber fabrication. The rocket won First Place with an altitude of 2004 feet, which beat eight other universities. Show less
