AE 498 class schedule data for spring 2015
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
62565	Lecture-Discussion	AS4	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	335 Mechanical Engineering Bldg	D'Urso, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Section Title: Mars Surface Transportation Section Info: Assuming that we have launched astronauts to the Martian surface and they will stay there for a significant amount of time, the astronauts will conduct significant scientific activity. To do this they will need a number of supporting systems. The surface transportation systems project will specify a fleet of vehicles for use in exploring the Martian surface and conducting scientific research. They will necessarily include both robotic exploration vehicles and astronaut transportation vehicles. This project will outline the system-of-system needed and explore one or more of those concepts in higher detail.
62421	Lecture-Discussion	ASA	3:30PM -4:50PM	TR	225A Talbot Laboratory	Jonkouski, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 Section Title: Aircraft Systems Analysis Section Info: Aircraft Systems ? Configuration and Synthesis This course will show and explain the systems in three classes of aircraft: small, personal aircraft, business jets and airliners using flight manuals and manufacturers? documentation. Emphasis on new technology. Class will explain, in detail, how things work: engines, FADEC, fuel systems, electrical systems, navigation and FMS (Flight Management System) and communications. Also included: aerodynamic analysis, operations, human factors, design for manufacturability, the effect of the ever-changing regulatory environment and the impact of Green technology. Offered every two years. This year?s aircraft: Cirrus SR-22, Cessna Citation Mustang and Boeing 737-600, 700, 900 (with new wing and engines.) Course will be an AE Technical Elective. Required prerequisite course: AE 202. Open to Aerospace Engineering Juniors, Seniors and Graduate Students. Students in other majors may take the course with permission of the instructor. Special permission may be granted to underclassmen with a Private Pilot Certificate and Instrument Rating.
57632	Lecture-Discussion	UAV	10:00AM -10:50AM	MWF	225A Talbot Laboratory	Elliott, G	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/20/15-05/06/15 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).
