AE 440
Aerospace Systems Design I

Credit:  3 hours.

This course satisfies the General Education Criteria for a
Advanced Composition course.

Introduction to the design of aerospace flight systems. The principles of systems engineering, as they apply to the design process, are presented. A general design methodology is introduced. These concepts are then applied to the initial sizing of both aircraft and spacecraft systems. Involves intensive technical writing. AE 440 and AE 441 taken in sequence fulfill the Advanced Composition Requirement. 3 undergraduate hours. No graduate credit. Prerequisite: Credit or concurrent registration in AE 302, AE 311, AE 322, AE 352, and AE 433.
