Biography
Scott is an academic in the Faculty of Engineering and the Department of Mechancial and Aerospace Engineering at Monash University. He is Director of our Student Teams and Clubs and a designer and manager of our M+AE Student Workshops, the new Monash Makerspace and the soon to be completed Design + Build Studios in the Woodside Building His disciplne background is Mechanical Engineering and his discipline research interests include Automotive, Race car and Sports Aerodynamics, Turbulence, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computer Aided Design, Finite Element Methods, and Engineering Design Methodologies. In recent years Scott's research focus has shifted to Engineering Education, with an interest in Teamwork, Peer Evaluation, Active Learning, e-Assessment and Flipped Classrooms. Scott teaches MEC2402: Design methods, MEC4407: Integrated Design Project and a new elective unit MEC3448: Engineering Technologies. He is academic advisor for Monash Motorsport, Precious Plastics Monash, Monash Forge and Monash BrewLab.
QUALIFICATIONS:
POST-GRADUATE
2004 - 2009 DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY, ENGINEERING (RESEARCH)
MONASH UNIVERSITY - CLAYTON CAMPUS
'On-road turbulence'
This project thoroughly documented the on-road turbulent wind environment experienced by automobiles. It quantified for the first time the effects that wind speed, terrain type and traffic conditions have on the turbulence intensity, length scale, and spatial correlations experienced on-road. These findings were compared with measurements made in the Monash University wind tunnel to justify a new set of targets for the modeling of turbulence in automotive wind tunnels.
2002 - 2004 MASTER OF SCIENCE, ENGINEERING (RESEARCH)
MONASH UNIVERSITY - CLAYTON CAMPUS
'An investigation of V8 exhaust noise in high performance automobiles'
A range of automobiles were studied to understand the most important metrics for exhaust sound quality in the high performance car market. The major achievement of the project was the identification, comprehension and synthetic reproduction of the subjective phenomena known as 'V8 exhaust burble'.
TERTIARY
1997 - 2001 BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING (MECHANICAL)
MONASH UNIVERSITY - CLAYTON CAMPUS
Completed a four year mechanical engineering degree, achieving first class honors. Final year project was the design and manufacture of the lubrication (dry sump) and cooling systems for the 2001 Monash Formula SAE car.
