ENGR 3345Mechanical and Aerospace Systems

Catalog

Fundamental techniques for the analysis of the dynamic behavior of mechanical and aerospace systems are studied through modules that involve both computational simulation and experimental measurements. Topics will be selected from multi-degree-of-freedom systems, attitude dynamics and control, aerodynamics, astrodynamics, flexible structures, and aeroelasticity. The modules will run in parallel with a course-long project involving quantitative-analysis-based design, fabrication, evaluation, and refinement of a system to meet user-specified requirements and performance objectives.
