Start Education

Exam Period Course Language Required for Expected prior knowledge Course Contents

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 none English All students who have chosen the Literature Study (and not the Master Orientation Project) in their programme. Students who start their Literature Study have completed almost all their Master Track Core and Profile courses, and follow or have followed course AE4010 Research Methodologies. The Literature Study is an individual assignment that prepares for the thesis research project. The Literature Study aims the student to familiarise with the subject of the thesis research project and apply the research skills that are acquired in course AE4010 Research Methodologies. You practice the concept of: * Setting up a research plan for the Literature Study and possibly the Thesis research project * Formulating the research question and research aim. * Writing a literature review, based on the research plan * Doing systematic research The goals of the literature study are twofold: * Obtain an accurate overview of the state-of-the-art in the field of your MSc thesis research. This helps you to identify the most interesting and relevant questions in this field and prevents you from re-inventing the wheel. * Learn to formulate a clear problem definition, become familiar with all sources of information (internet, library, courses) and their quality, get a clear overview of methods and theories in the field of research, and last but not least write a report with the style and quality of an MSc thesis. The Literature Study is an individual and independent assignment. The student and the prospective thesis supervisor together decide on the topic. You are responsible for the planning. Although you are in charge, this doesn't mean that you have to do this in isolation. Please make good use of your supervisor and other experts. They will be happy to provide feedback, especially if they see that you use it well. The literature report is a dedicated 50-page (max) document. The Literature Study is typically divided in three phases. 1) In the first phase you formulate a research question and research aims and set up a research plan with a planning of intermediate milestones with appropriate deliverables. 2) In the second phase you look at many resources. Don't read them all the way, but scroll through them and try to understand what they are all about. This gives you an overview of: - who are the most influentual researchers - who are currently doing research on this topic - what are the usual research approaches - what is the current state of the art - what has been left for future work The second phase is done when you are able to write a good introduction and conclusion for your report. Write the conclusion before writing the rest of the report, because the role of the rest of the chapters is to support the conclusions. 3) The third phase consists of systematically answering the main question (and its subquestions)that you formulated in the introduction. From now on, everything that you read, you must judge whether it helps answering these questions. If not, then don't waste time trying to understand it in depth, but move on to the next. In this phase you accumulate many pieces of a puzzle. All the relevant pieces of information somehow fit together to lead up to your main conclusions. Structuring this puzzle is difficult and it requires iterations. You may also have to reformulate your main question and main conclusion in order to fit all pieces of the puzzle. Here are some tips on how to find all interesting literature: - Store the search words and the search engines that you used, to convince yourself that your search was complete. These search words will probably become the keywords of the report. - Use your own judgement, websites, books and scientific papers may contain errors or faulty lines of reasoning. - Books are also literature, and the TU Delft library is exceptionally well stocked. The Literature Study is related to course AE4010 Research Methodologies that teaches the skills and provides the researchdriven preparation. The Literature Study paves the way for the MSc Thesis research project. The Literature Study report is assessed by your supervisor. He reviews and jugdes for the following aspects: - Feedback process: how well did you ask for feedback and how well did you use it? - Focus: is the goal of the report clearly stated in the introduction (usually in the form of a question), and does the conclusion give a clear answer to the question and its subquestions? - Motivation: does the introduction convincingly state why this research question is an interesting one? - Argumentation: is the line of reasoning correct? - Completeness: nobody who reads this should be able to say "why didn't you think of X". How well does the report pre-empt such questions, either by addressing the relevant literature or by motivating (in the introduction) why X is not relevant. - English: how good is the English grammar and spelling? - Structure and style: How easy is the report to read, despite its complex content? - Know what you're talking about: How well does the report use the information from literature? Simply repeating statements and conclusions from resources that you read will not be valued highly. - References: Are all the references traceable? Does the report properly cite relevant papers? Important: the final version will be judged as described above, but not the preliminary drafts. So do not hesitate to give an early unfinished version to your supervisor; you rather receive their useful comments before you spend weeks on the draft. Your result is graded by a mark. Generally, it is impossible to receive a mark lower than 6.0, because your supervisor will simply not yet give you the mark, but request you to improve the work to meet the standards.

A draft of the Literature Study report is also reviewed and judged by the instructor of the course AE4010 Research Methodologies. His judgement of the formulation of the research question and research aims, the set-up of the research plan and the methodology used or planned for the thesis is used as the mark for the course AE4010 Research Methodologies. The prospective supervisor of the final thesis work acts as the supervisor for the Literature Study. Please address to him to agree upon the subject and planning, or to your MSc Track Coordinator or Profile Advisor for further information. The Director of Education ir. Kamp,is responsible for the MSc programme as a whole, and therefore mentioned here as the responsible instructor. For those students who take a Master Orientation Project in the first year, a literature study forms part of the Thesis project in the second year. In that case, the scope, planning, deliverable format, and study load (typically 7 EC) are variable and subject to the agreement between the student and the Thesis supervisor. The assessment of the literature study is then part of the thesis project.

Education Method Assessment

3 4 3 none English This course covers several concepts which should be of interest to both numerical specialists and advanced users of computational fluid dynamics. Some of these concepts are phenomenological in nature, and some are fundamental in the sense that they can be applied to a wide range of problems. The course starts with a review of techniques for treating compressible flows, including the design of discontinuity-capturing schemes and approaches to higher-order upwinding using finite volumes and finite elements. Then the computation of turbulent flows is discussed including direct numerical simulation, both filter-based and variational-multiscale large-eddy simulation, and techniques based on Reynolds averaging. After this, course switches to more fundamental topics including advanced time march and solution techniques, uncertainty quantification and error estimation. The uncertainty quantification section describes how the influence of stochastic problem inputs (atmospheric conditions, surface roughness, material or chemical properties) can be accounted for in an efficient manner, using concepts such as polynomial chaos. The error estimation section deals with the computation of local contributions to the numerical error in a specific quantity of interest by solving adjoint problems. Aside from allowing the accuracy of a computation to be established, such estimations are essential ingredients for optimal discretisation adaptation procedures. At the end of the course the student should be familiar with the computational challenges and techniques associated with compressible flows and turbulence, and understand the key concepts of sophisticated time-integration methods, uncertainty quantification and error estimation. Lectures (2 hours per week) and practice problems. The student chooses one project focused on a particular part of the course. Assessment is based on the project report.

Aeroelasticity

1 2 1 2 3 English This course provides an introduction to the physical and analytical aspects of aeroelasticity. The course begins with illustrations of aeroelastic phenomena using simplified aerodynamic and structural models. Then experimental results and analytical solutions for unsteady flows are described, and the influence of unsteady aerodynamics on aeroelastic phenomena is discussed. After a presentation of reduced-order modelling for continuous structures, efficient flutterprediction methods are described. Commonly-used dynamic-response prediction procedures are also presented. An overview of modern computational aeroelasticity is then given, with an emphasis on comparing sources of error and the strengths and weaknesses of different methods. Finally, experimental techniques are briefly discussed, and the use of the methods presented in the course is described in the context of aircraft design. At the end of the course the student should: understand the physical processes which drive aeroelastic phenomena; be able to formulate and solve aeroelastic response and instability problems; be able to identify strengths and weaknesses of different aerodynamic and structural models for the analysis of a given aeroelastic condition; understand the basic design of computational aeroelastic solution techniques; be familiar with the role of aeroelasticity in aircraft design.

1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4 5 none English Officially admitted to the (Pre)Master Aerospace Engineering The aim of the internship is to expose students to a real work environment for a period of 12 weeks (preferably consecutive) on a full-time basis. The internship is a learn and explore kind of internship, enabling students to acquire professional skills different from those taught in the programme. The MSc Internship has three main goals: * Industrial orientation/societal context - To increase your understanding of employment options after graduation - To get a better perception of your tasks and responsibilities within a professional environment - To create an understanding of the context in which Aerospace Engineering and utilization is practiced by industry, institutes and organizations. * Social-psychologic - To learn a different way of behaviour, suitable for a professional social/work environment - To be able to communicate and cooperate with colleagues and non-colleagues - To obtain a better view of the position of a company compared to other companies (competition, achievements) * Intellectual skills - To use acquired knowledge and skills in an environment different from that of our own university - To obtain, rapidly and effectively, new skills that are necessary to successfully accomplish the project - To be competent in reasoning, reflecting and forming judgements Internship for a period of 12 weeks. There are three milestones in the evaluation for the internship: 1.No later than three weeks before you start your internship you must send the "Final Registration Form before starting Internship" to the Internship Coordinator (internship-ae@tudelft.nl). Please refer to the "Steps to be Taken" on Blackboard AE5050. In this form we want to see a clear assignment/project you are going to work on, your choice regarding the "Engineering Profession", and we ask you to do a "Self Evaluation". 2.When your internship is half-way (after approximately 6 weeks) we ask you to fill in the "Grading Form" together with your supervisor. (Grading Form can be found on Blackboard). Once filled in this has to be e-mailed to internship-ae@tudelft.nl. 3.Once your internship has finished, a hard copy (bound)of your internship report has to be handed in at the internship office no later than 2 months after completing the internship. Please consult Blackboard AE5050 for guidelines and forms to be included. The internship report is evaluated based on three main elements: *Your assignment/project during the internship and evaluation from your supervisor; *Dedicated assignment about the Engineering Profession; topic to be determined before start of the internship; *Personal reflection on performance in the internship. The internship report can be rejected if the student has not met the requirements as mentioned, if the level of the reporting is insufficient or if the work performed does not meet the requirements. One opportunity for rewriting the report will be given. If a report still does not meet the requirements after it has been resubmitted, a new internship will have to be carried out.

Remarks

Finding a suitable internship is an important part of the course. Students should make sure to start organising their internship well in time, preferably around 9 months before the planned date of departure! For information about the 'steps to be taken' please refer to blackboard AE5050 course documents. Aerospace Engineering Internship: Objectives, Rules and Regulations The aim of the Internship is to expose students to a real work environment for a period of 12 weeks (preferably consecutive) on a full-time basis. The internship is a "learn and explore" kind of internship, enabling students to acquire professional skills different from those taught in the programme. 1. Students need to have formally been admitted to the (pre)MSc before they can start their internship. 2. The internship is to be conducted in an industry, institute of knowledge, or government institution that is relevant to the Aerospace Engineering programme at TUDelft. The responsibility of determining whether or not an internship opportunity meets the relevancy criteria rests with the Internship Coordinator. Students need to receive approval from the Internship Coordinator no later than two weeks before the start of their internship. Failing to do so will result in not accepting the internship report. Consequently, no credits will be awarded for the internship. Approval can only be given after filling in the "Final Registration Form before starting Internship" and e-mailing this to the Internship Coordinator, internship-ae@tudelft.nl.(please consult Blackboard AE5050) 3. The internship can be conducted nationally or internationally. 4. Students are not required to do their internship in line with their chosen track. 5. The Internship can be held at the same company/institute as where the Final Thesis is done. Be sure though, the topic/assignment of the internship has to be different than the Final Thesis. There is a separate deliverable for the internship and for the Final Thesis. 6. Students are required to arrange their own internship. The Internship Office can assist with acquiring internship positions world-wide. Please consult Blackboard (AE5050 "Steps to be Taken") or the internship website at www.lr.tudelft.nl/internship for guidelines. 7. Students who have gained professional experience during an earlier phase of their career are eligible for an internship exemption if the work was comparable in terms of level and duration. Qualifying students need to file a formal request with the Board of Examiners in order to be granted an internship exemption.
