3.00 Credits
The course deals with uncertainties in engineering analysis and design at three levels - uncertainty modeling, uncertainty analysis, and design under uncertainty. It covers physics-based reliability analysis and reliability-based design, robustness assessment and robust design, their integration with design simulations, and their engineering applications. Prerequisite: Mech Eng 208 or Aero Eng 261. (Co-listed with Mech Eng 360)
-
3.00 Credits
Review of static stability, dynamic equations of motion, linearized solutions, classical control design and analysis techniques, introduction to modern control. Prerequisite: Aero Eng 261.
-
3.00 Credits
A study of the basic principles of hypersonic flow. Invisvid and viscous hypersonic flow. Application of numerical methods. High temperature flow. Consideration of real gas and rarefied flow. Applications in aero-dynamic heating and atmospheric entry. Prerequisite: Aero Eng 271 or Mech Eng or Aero Eng 331.
-
3.00 Credits

-
3.00 Credits
Examination of engineering materials with emphasis on selection and application of materials in industry. Particular attention is given to properties and applications of materials in extreme temperature and chemical environments. A discipline specific design project is required. (Not a technical elective for undergraduate metallurgy or ceramic majors) (Co-listed with Chem Eng 347, Physics 377, Met Eng 377, Cer Eng 377)
-
3.00 Credits
This course will introduce students to the basics of mechatronics (i.e., the integration of mechanical, electrical, computer, and control systems). Students will learn the fundamentals of sensors and actuators for mechanical systems, computer interfacing, microcontrollers, real-time software, and control. Prerequisite: Mech Eng 279 or equivalent. (Co-listed with Mech Eng 378, Elec Eng 378 and Comp Eng 378)
-
3.00 Credits
Fundamentals of spacecraft design. Systems engineering, subsystem analysis and design. Gantt charts, organizational charts. Oral presentations and technical documentation. Term project to involve design and development of actual flight hardware, continuing into Spacecraft Design II. Prerequisites: Aero Eng 251, 261, and 271 for Aero Eng majors; consent of instructor for non-Aero Eng majors.
-
3.00 Credits
Synthesis of mechanical and aerospace systems to perform specific control functions. Response and stability are studied. Singular value analysis for stability margins is introduced. Prerequisite: Mech Eng 279 or Aero Eng 361. (Co-listed with Mech Eng 381)
-
3.00 Credits
As a continuation of Aero Eng 380, detailed spacecraft design is performed, leading to procurement of components. As schedules permit, spacecraft fabrication and test commence. Development of labs to facilitate spacecraft test, operation, and data analysis continues. Prerequisites: Aero Eng 380 for Aero Eng majors; consent of instructor for non-Aero Eng majors.
