AE 498 class schedule data for spring 2018
CRN	Type	Section	Time	Day	Location	Instructor	Section Details
68296	Lecture-Discussion	ASD	9:00AM -9:50AM	TR	105 Talbot Laboratory	Geubelle, P	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 2 hours Section Title: Aircraft Structure Design Section Info: Completion or Concurrent Enrollment in AE 323 or equivalent required. The objective of this course is to introduce concepts involved in the structural analysis and design of aircraft structures, with emphasis on the structural designs of wings. Some of the concepts introduced in this course include (i) airframe loads, (ii) theory of plate bending, (iii) buckling of plates, and (iv) finite element analysis (using NX). The course will involve a finite-element-based design project for the structure of a wing.
67976	Lecture-Discussion	SDO	10:00AM -11:30AM	MW	410C1 Engineering Hall	James, K	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Structural Design Optimization Section Info: Credit Hours: 4 hrs This course provides an introduction to optimal design of structures and mechanisms using finite element analysis and numerical optimization. The course begins with a brief review of the finite element method for solving linear elastic boundary value problems. We then cover the theory and principles of gradient-based numerical optimization for constrained nonlinear programming problems. These techniques will be applied to a variety of structural optimization problems involving sizing, shape and topology optimization of structures and mechanisms. Special topics will include optimal design of compliant mechanisms, implementation of material failure constraints, and design for additive manufacturing. The course will include a design project in which students will optimize, fabricate and demonstrate an original design using the concepts introduced during the course. The project will culminate in a competition in which groups will compete to determine whose design is truly “optimal”. Prerequisites: Any one of AE 420, CEE 470, ME 471, TAM 470, TAM 445 or TAM 551

57464	Laboratory	SE2	ARRANGED	n.a.	Location Pending		Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/16/18-05/02/18 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: 01/16/18-05/02/18 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).
