Special topics in aerospace engineering

Fundamentals of modern wind turbines with emphasis on mechanical and aerospace engineering aspects as well as design and economic considerations. Topics include wind resources, aerodynamics and performance, control of turbine dynamics for power and safety, structural loads and response, blade materials and design, siting and installation, and economic drivers of wind systems. Prerequisite: MAE/CE 3210 Fluid Mechanics or equivalent

Applies basic engineering science, design methods, and systems analysis to developing areas and current problems in mechanical engineering. Topics vary based on student and faculty interest. Prerequisite: 3rd or 4th year standing.

Applied research in areas pertinent to aerospace engineering; conducted in close consultation with a departmental faculty advisor. Includes the design and construction of experiments, analysis, or the investigation of physical phenomena. The research may be related to ongoing faculty research and may be the topic of the senior thesis, but its scope must be significantly beyond that required for the thesis. Prerequisite Fourth yr. standing.
