Course Description
This course provides an overview of topics pertaining to aerospace engineering. The focus is mainly on aeronautical engineering (atmospheric vehicles), with topics covering aerodynamics, structures, aircraft performance, thermodynamics, and propulsion (engine). The course also introduces the non-engineering aspects of the field, including the airline industry, cost estimation, environmental impacts of aviation, policy, and regulations. A brief introduction of astronautical engineering (space flights and rocket science) is given near the end of the course.

Course Description

This course enables students to master essential topics in vibrations and dynamics and contributes to the development of their analytical, design, and communication skills. Upon completion of the course, students are able to discuss the dynamical behavior of one-degree-of-freedom dynamical systems in general terms using the concepts of natural frequency, damping, free response, forced response, transmissibility, isolation, phasor diagrams, and Bode plots; discuss the dynamical behavior of multi-degree-of-freedom systems in terms of natural frequencies and associated mode shapes; use the concept of modal summation; discuss the concepts of energy-work done; and understand linear momentum, linear impulse, angular momentum, angular impulse, and simple gyroscopic motion.

Course Description
This course gives the student the opportunity to study specialized topics of their interest within an area of machine design that may not be covered by the traditional courses. For students from abroad, this course opens up the possibility to choose a project related to a course that they may not be able to participate in. Students may choose their own project topic or select one proposed by the supervisor or an outside company. Students are responsible for establishing their own timelines for the theoretical study part of the project, carry out their study independently of regular lectures, and prepare a final report on their findings/results.

Course Description
In this course students learn the theory of elasticity for composite materials used in lightweight structures such as airplanes, race cars, and laptop covers. Students write their own code and simulate deformation in composite materials and work on solving engineering problems in elasticity in a small team. The emphasis of this course is on a theoretical understanding of problems in continuum mechanics, especially elasticity of composite materials. Participants understand elasticity theory, laminate theory, and apply it by solving various engineering examples with open-source codes in Python. Lecture topics include: composite materials, manufacturing of composites, tensor algebra, theory of elasticity, laminate theory, anisotropy, analytical solution of simple structures, continuum mechanics, finite element method, Python. As a prerequisite students should have completed one of the following courses: Introduction to Solid Mechanics, Mechanics of Materials, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Programming Methodology (or worked with any programming language).
