Topic: AIAA DBF Team Project. Learn to design, build and fly a radio controlled UAV and compete in the AIAA Design/Build/Fly 2008-2009 Competition. Requires consent of the instructor.
57464	Laboratory	SE2	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	D'Urso, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 2 hours Section Info: Topic: Aerospace Systems Engineering Program. As part of the Aerospace Systems Engineering (ASE) Program, this special project technical elective provides a hands on component. Under the supervision of the ASE Program Coordinator and interaction with another AE department faculty member, the ASE student will interact as a system engineer with an undergraduate Design Build Fly or special project design class such as Cube Sat in a team environment. The AE498 SE2 student will perform systems engineering & systems engineering management functions. The student will produce traditional SE products the ASE Program Coordinator and another AE department faculty member. This may include, but not be limited to, the following products and activities: 1) Overall systems engineering program products such as; System Engineering Master Plan (SEMP), Product Breakdown Structure/ Work Breakdown Structure, Technical Performance Measures management, Systems Engineering Master Schedule, Configuration Management; 2) Requirements analysis, traceability, and requirements management for the team; 3) Risk identification, management, mitigation; 4)Performing a program milestone review, change board, regular management reviews. Prerequisite - concurrent registration in AE 598AS2. Class will meet in Room 302E Talbot Lab.
57632	Lecture-Discussion	UAV	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	225A Talbot Laboratory	Elliott, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/17/12-05/02/12 Credit: 3 hours Section Info: Topic: Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle. Project based course centered on the aerodynamics, stability/control, propulsion, and manufacturing methods for unmanned aerial vehicles. This course will cover the basic background necessary to design and build small UAVs concentrating on fixed wing aircraft, but also incorporating aspects of flapping flight and rotorcraft. Emphasis will be placed on the design, construction, and instrumentation of an objective specific vehicle, as well as, analyzing the performance using a combination of theoretical analysis, computational tools, and testing. Course for undergraduates only. Prerequisites: MSE 280, AE 311, AE 323, AE 433 or permission of the instructor Restriction(s): Restricted to Aerospace Engineering major(s).
