Descrizione dell'iniziativa
The Concurrent Engineering Challenge (https://www.esa.int/Education/ESA_Academy/Concurrent_Engineering_Challenge_2025_Applications_Open_to_Universities) is proposed by the European Space Agency (ESA) as part of its program for future technical personnel training; among applicant Academies, ESA selects 3 of them - belonging to the Member States - to lead 3 groups
of students, in mimicking the work ESA usually performs whenever facing the feasibility assessment of a new space mission; the Challenge sees its third edition and aims introducing fresh engineers to the universally adopted working methodology in the Space domain. The Concurrent Engineering Challenge occurs in 5 full-day work run in group, to finalize a a space mission design. Four groups of up to 25 university students are selected: each group works simultaneously in 4 different European locations, this year represented by: Cranfield University (UK), Politecnico di Milano (Italy), Universidade de Aveiro (Portugal)and ESA Academy facility (Belgium). The design goes through each technical discipline of the on board devices and a strong team working to ensure mission goals and system feasibility to be respected. Each day every team steps forward in the design at its premise; at the end of the day a telecom session occurs to compare and share resultsissues with the other three teams remotely located. Through this Challenge, students learn to work in a multidisciplinary environment and complement what they are learning at University by familiarising themselves with the concurrent engineering approach and its benefits in space systems design, and also learn how ESA assesses technical and financial feasibility of space missions. They also
strengthen their capability to work in team; the challenge ends up with a final presentation which enforces the partecipants to enhance their soft skills as well, to clearly and exhaustively present their work.
