This project will design a rugged enclosure to house control electronics. The design will need to operate in harsh environments and must be able to withstand extremes of temperature, shock, and vibration. It must also protect the the components from overheating. Details of the components that must be accommodated will be a given (e.g. waste heat values, operating temperature limits, etc), as will the ambient conditions, and basic size constraint. Desired deliverables: Design that meets requirements while considering thermal, weight, and cost optimization. Thermal analysis of the cooling solution(s) used. Presentation explaining the design.
