This course covers more in-depth engineering design methods than ENME301 and covers procedures that are not included in the engineering science subjects. The subject matter will have an aerospace design focus and will include additional content to cover aerospace conceptual design, cost and weight estimation, configuration and layout, basic aircraft performance; aircraft subsystems; lifecycle topics; safety and reliability certification requirements, risk analysis and management. Overall students are brought to a level where they can undertake a substantial aerospace engineering design problem in a methodical manner, and can produce a professional quality design report.
This course is an elective for Mechanical Engineering students who are attempting the Aerospace Minor.
