    Instrumentation for Flight Test (3,0) 3 Credits Advanced instrumentation setups for aircraft flight testing. The following aircraft quality transducers will be discussed theoretically: accelerometers, rate gyros, strapdown gyro packages, digital pressure transducers, thermocouples, linear displacement transducers, load cells, and RPM transducers. Installation of the above instruments will be discussed. Calibration and errors will be investigated. This course includes a lab for installation and calibration of transducers on an aircraft. Pre/Corequisites: MA 345, SIM 300 or AE 413.

    Introduction to Flight Testing (3,0) 3 Credits An overview of the role and function of flight testing in the aerospace industry. Major topics will include past, present, and future of flight test, FAA and DOD certification processes, risk management, test planning and reporting, and an overview of the principal flight test methods and procedures for aircraft and engine performance, stability and control, handling qualities, avionics systems performance and integration, human factors evaluation, production and maintenance flight test, homebuilt flight test, and DOD operational flight test. Final project will involve team evaluation of an aircraft using Embry-Riddle simulators, including test planning and reporting. Lab fee required. Prerequisites: AS 309 or equivalent, SIM 200. SIM 404 Fly-By-Wire Aircraft Simulation and Design (3,0) 3 Credits This course addresses recent advances in automated flight control systems. Fly-by-wire aircraft architecture will be discussed. Aircraft simulations will be used to enhance and stabilize aircraft stability and handling qualities. Strategies such as theta control, c-star, and flight path angle control will be addressed. Prerequisites: AE 413, MA 345.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits This course focuses on what is required to develop a simulation visual system that is realistic to the end user. The student will develop a thorough understanding of the hardware and software required to develop and display a visual database. Students will also understand requirements for visual systems in FAA-qualified devices and understand how a display system is constructed. In the laboratory the student will obtain hands-on experience with visual database development software by designing and testing a model that meets an actual requirement of the flight department and incorporating that model into the department's global database. Prerequisite: SIM 200.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits This course addresses recent advances and new applications in the expanding field of telecommunications and computer networks and their relationship with computer-based simulations. Students learn the principles for creating a distributed interactive simulation (DIS) environment that realizes a common operational environment among the systems. The course addresses creation of a DIS environment that is coherent in time and space. Students learn aspects of networking necessary to create real-time seamless simulated flight environments. Topics include: ATM (asynchronous transfer mode), SONET/SDH (synchronous optical network/synchronous digital hierarchy), gigabit ethernet, 10 gigabit ethernet, OSI (open systems interconnection) reference model, TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/Internet protocol) transmission media, network topologies, network protocols, and network performance.
  • 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits An interdisciplinary, capstone course in flight-testing and simulation. This course will rely on interdisciplinary groups to perform flight tests and simulation matching for typical FAA certification of aircraft and simulators. Lab fee required. Prerequisite: At least one of the following: SIM 300, AE 413, AS 340, HF 310.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits SIS 100 is the introductory course for the Global Security and Intelligence Studies program. It discusses the whole range of contemporary international issues, from questions of realism versus idealism in foreign affairs, to changes in the nation-state, the implications of climate change, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, international development, the rise of China, and international public health. The course requires the student to closely follow breaking international developments and learn to discuss these objectively and analytically. An important emphasis throughout the course is for the student to learn and demonstrate critical thinking and imagination.
  • 1.00 - 3.00 Credits

    1-3 Credits Individual independent or directed studies of selected topics in Global Security and Intelligence Studies related topics. Prerequisites: Consent of instructor and approval of department or program chair. May be repeated with a change of subject.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits This course will provide a general overview of the legal system in the United States. It is a core course for the GSIS program, designed to give the student a foundation in legal theory and philosophy, the sources of law, the place of the judicial system in the United States, the structure of the courts, original through appellate jurisdiction, judicial review, the role of the legal profession, the structure of civil and criminal cases, the adversarial process, constitutional law and protections, and the application of law to security and intelligence issues. Prerequisite: College-level history or permission of the instructor.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits This course presents the current status and future trends in global crime and criminal justice systemic approaches to combating global crime. First, the course describes the rise of novel criminal activities in the context of globalization as well as the influence of globalization on pre-existing criminal activities. Second, the course describes globalization's effects on the structure, function, and process of criminal justice systems. Third, the course explores the reciprocal interactive and contextual relationships between global crime and criminal justice systems. The course emphasizes global, multicultural, and world historical perspectives of crime to professionally and personally prepare students for the challenge of 21st century life. Prerequisites: SS 204, SS 235, SS 310; and SIS 200 or permission of the instructor.
  • 0.00 - 3.00 Credits

    3 Credits This course will examine the uses of strategic intelligence by world leaders in shaping policy and the effects of strategic intelligence on world events. Issues to be covered include theoretical models of strategic intelligence; intelligence collection, evaluation, analysis, production, and dissemination; intelligence oversight; covert and clandestine operations; intelligence bureaucracies; ethical and moral issues in intelligence; counterintelligence. The course emphasizes strategic intelligence in the business, political, military, scientific, and technological domains. Prerequisites: Junior standing or permission of the instructor.
