Abstract
Veroptimal Solution would like to present the Auto-adjustable Spoiler Control System (ASCS). This system is a feedback control system which is able to either automatically or manually change the elevation and angle of attack (AOA) of the car spoiler. Research shows that when the spoiler elevation is low, or stays very close to the surface of the boot lid, the spoiler can more effectively spoil out the undesirable flows and reshape airflow streams around the vehicle. The major benefit to this would be the reduction of drag and the increase of fuel efficiency. When the spoiler elevation is high, the AOA of the spoiler plays a crucial role because the angle determines how much air should be deflected upwards and this generates downforce at the rear of the vehicle.

Description
Engineering Science undergraduates are required to complete a group-based, two-course capstone sequence: ENSC 405W and ENSC 440. Groups form company structures and create an innovative product that potentially acts as a solution to a real-life problem. This collection archives the following assignments: proposal, design specifications, requirements specifications, and final presentation.
