50863	Lecture-Discussion	DA	10:00AM -11:50AM	TR	252 Mechanical Engineering Bldg	Namachchivaya, N	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/14-05/07/14 Section Title: Estimation & Data Assimilation Section Info: 4 hours Topic: Estimation and Data Assimilation. The future state of a dynamical model depends on control parameters such as initial conditions, model errors, parameters of the model, and boundary conditions. Insufficient knowledge of these parameters leads to uncertainty of the prediction. Information about the dynamical state and its uncertainty is collected from observations or data. Blending the information from observations with information from dynamical models to estimate the state or the model parameters is called data assimilation which is a complex interdisciplinary subject that involves engineering, signal processing and mathematics.
57632	Lecture-Discussion	UAV	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	225A Talbot Laboratory	Elliott, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/21/14-05/07/14 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Uninhabited Aerial Vehicle 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 321, or permission of the instructor Restriction(s): Restricted to Aerospace Engineering major(s).
