At the same time, we were also developing a performance metrics, including a way that we could rate any roller coaster that was on YouTube or on our simulator using an Xbox controller. So then, we created a simulator in the Unity game engine to replicate any real roller coaster, then validated it using the real roller coaster data. We had students riding real roller coasters using the accelerometers gyroscopes on cell phones in order to really figure out what does a real roller coaster look like. Now for this project, we started out actually with our testing with these guys.
But let's focus on the testing elements that this project really showcased. Now, in any project like this, there was a lot of systems of engineering. If you were a student, which one would you want to read? So if we can provide students with a text on how to do good performance testing and validation testing throughout their process, or we can provide them a case study on how a whole bunch of students created a Disney inspired Star Wars pod racing theme park ride. One of the fundamental learning objectives of the competition is to teach good professional systems engineering design skills to students from across the country.Īs students are accustomed to often having really well defined problems in short timespans with very clear answers, the notion of getting students to recognize the importance of performance testing throughout the design process, or even making up their own performance criteria, is a remarkable challenge in and of itself.
