How can we better support the complex interactions between people, process, and product in aircraft design and development?
Andréa Cartile holds a doctorate in Mechanical Engineering. She also holds bachelor degrees in Biology specialization and Mechanical Engineering and a master’s degree in Quality Systems Engineering from Concordia. Andrea’s research focused on modeling the aircraft design and development process. The objective of her work was to develop a modeling framework to inform a software tool that could better support the aircraft design process. Andrea was fortunate to work with researchers at Concordia and the Royal Military College of Canada to examine different aspects of the aircraft design process. Her research was sponsored by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and two industrial partners — Cascade Aerospace and Marinvent Corporation.
