Abstract
The University of Toronto Aerospace Team Space Systems Division (UTAT-SS) is currently developing the world's first fully student-funded research satellite set to launch in mid-2020. The nature of this project presents several challenges to the systems engineering activities such as limited systems engineering background of the undergraduate student members, inconsistent membership and resource availability, and tight timelines and budgets. The team has developed strategies to execute systems engineering activities that are critical for the complex satellite design which involve decentralization of systems engineering responsibilities, creating systems models and using appropriate communication tools. These practices - and the resulting observations - which have served UTAT-SS in achieving the mission goals can be applied to other student design teams, industry projects, and complex research initiatives.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
