The purpose of this course is to introduce elementary design concepts related to aerodynamics,
flight performance, propulsion, and aerospace structures. At the center of this course are 12, 1-
hour lectures dedicated to covering the basics of these topics. The course also relies heavily on
laboratory settings and focuses on basic machine shop proficiency, experimental facilities, and
computer laboratories to introduce word processing, spreadsheet analysis, computer aided design
(A!", and documentation. A team design pro#ect, involving analysis, construction and testing,
will comprise a large portion of the course content.

The course will also rely on class notes as well as supplemental references, including handouts
and websites. :t is your responsibility to chec; the course website fre<uently for announcements
and comments. All solutions to homewor; and laboratory assignments will be posted on the
course website approximately .+ hours after the due date.

1. !uring the class, if you have any <uestions or comments, please fill out a Cmuddiest part
of the lectureD card. : will do my best to answer these <uestions on the course website as
<uic;ly as possible. Also use these cards to ma;e any comments that you feel would
improve the <uality of the lecture, homewor;, or <uiAAes.
2. oncept <uiAAes will be given almost every class. $ost importantly, this is an
opportunity for me to see if you understand the fundamentals of what is being presented,
as well as for self-assessment. These quizzes can only help your grade.

groups, indicate on the first page who you wor;ed with.
.. 4ome homewor; assignments are submitted in hard copy and some homewor;
assignments are submitted with A.E.6.,.3. 4ubmission guidelines are noted on the each
assignment.
(. The grade weightings are approximate, and : will vary them somewhat, but only if it is in
your favor. 0or example, if you show consistent improvement throughout the course,
your grade will reflect your improvement.
F. The syllabus is an outline of the course content, and contains an ambitious amount of
material. 4ome of the content may be abbreviated or extended for additional lectures,
based on the pace of the course. 0or particularly challenging topics, class or review
sessions will be dedicated to going over example problems.
5. onsult the 4tudent 7andboo; and )lagiarism )olicy for any <uestions regarding
academic conduct and integrity.
