What is aerospace engineering?

 

Instructors will present discussions online about various aerospace engineering topics.  Topics covered include:

• Introduction to Aeronautics/Astronautics
• Egg-drop Lander/Model Glider Design
• Aerospace Materials and Structures
• Flight Mechanics
• Aerodynamics
• Orbits
• Navigation
• Rocket Propulsion
• Aeronautics Design
• Astronautics Design

 

Model Workshops

Model workshops are a mainly hands-on learning experience for students. Students will apply their knowledge from the instructors’ presentations and design model gliders and egg-drop landers. Each student is provided with materials and, with online assistance from the staff, builds the models.  We’ll have you launch your models at home by filming the flights.
