Space Systems Engineering Seminar

Catalog description

Seminar overviewing the systems engineerng approach as applied to practical space systems. ENGR 475 Space Systems Engineering Seminar (1) As a requirement for the Space Systems Engineering (SPSYS) Certificate, this course is offered to students in the Certificate and others interested in Space Systems and more broadly in systems engineering. The course exposes students to the systems engineering approach as applied to practical space systems. The goal of this course is to prepare the student to understand and implement the systems approach to designing, building, testing, and flying space systems. The course begins with a series of lectures and discussions on the systems approach to engineering and how it applies to space systems in particular. Students then explore past, present, and future space systems and report on the use of systems principles in their design, fabrication, test, and flight operations-for both successful and unsuccessful space systems.
