CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
64116	Lecture	AS6	2:00PM -3:20PM	MW	305 Materials Science & Eng Bld	D'Urso, S	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/19/16-05/04/16 Credit: 3 hours Section Title: Fundamentals of Systems Engr Section Info: Credit is not given in both the AE 542 / AE 543 sequence and this course. Fundamentals of Systems Engineering course introduces students to the principles and processes of systems engineering. This course enables them to find effective solutions that meet customer needs. The course provides a disciplined approach for identifying a customer or stakeholder need and translating that need into a complete set of requirements or specifications for a system. The course emphasizes the distinction between an operational need and a system solution, and stresses the importance of understanding the customer need before jumping to a solution. The intent is not just to describe the systems engineering and architecting process. Rather, the course helps students understand how to think through the choices at each step of the process. What decisions have to be made? What factors should be considered in making them? It is the answers to these questions that make for good systems engineering, not just adherence to a standard process. The primary objective of this course is to achieve a strong foundation in systems engineering principles and processes. Restriction(s): Restricted to Aerospace Engineering major(s).

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: 01/19/16-05/04/16 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).
