AE 498 class schedule data for fall 2014
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
60032	Lecture-Discussion	AS3	2:00PM -3:20PM	TR	Talbot Laboratory	D'Urso, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/14-12/10/14 Section Title: Aerospace Flight Vehicle Sys Section Info: 3 hours. Topic: Aerospace Flight Vehicle Systems. Aerospace vehicles are complex systems comprised of many subsystems which must meet demanding customer and operational life cycle essential requirements. This course adopts a holistic view of the aerospace flight vehicle as a complex system in a systems engineering context. The course covers the engineering of internal vehicle systems, development of internal ysstems architectural choices and key design drives and the requirements development from flight vehicle performance. Investigation of competing subsystem architectural alternatives and selection methods based on systems attributes will also be covered, e.g. cost, weight, vehicle performance, safety, reliability, and risk. Prerequisites: Current Aerospace Systems Engineering Program enrollment or Senior standing in Aerospace Engineering and concurrent enrollment in AE 442 or AE 443, or Consent of instructor.
63976	Laboratory	CFF	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending	Chung, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/14-12/10/14 Section Title: CubeSat Formation Flying Section Info: Course is reserved for Seniors and MS Thesis Students in Aerospace Engineering. Interested students must submit a resume to Professor Chung, sjchung@illinois.edu. Description: The NASA/CALTECH Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of Illinois are developing a first-ever flight mission of flying 4-6 CubeSats in formation. Undergraduate students will be assigned to a subsystem team led by a graduate student (subsystem lead and team mentor). The students will present their design to JPL engineers. Meeting times will be arranged.
64024	Lecture-Discussion	SPE	10:00AM -11:15AM	TR	Engineering Hall	Levin, D	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 08/25/14-12/10/14 Section Title: Spacecraft Environment Section Info: The course will examine the theoretical and practical aspects of spacecraft aerodynamics and interactions with the rarefied spacecraft environment. The integration of these two themes will be challenging both for you and me because the fundamental level of understanding varies significantly from topic to topic.
