ENES 283 Introduction to Aerospace Systems
This course presents an introduction to airplanes, rockets, and spacecraft, including the fundamental concepts that design these systems: basic aerodynamics, airfoil, and wing design; aircraft performance, stability, and control; launch vehicle and spacecraft design; and orbital motion and orbital maneuvers.
Hours Weekly
2 hours lecture, 2 hours recitation weekly
Course Objectives
- Apply fundamental principles from math, basic science, and physics to solve problems relating to aerospace systems.
- Apply engineering concepts to model a new problem and formulate a solution procedure.
- Demonstrate an understanding of the interconnected disciplines of aerospace, particularly as they apply to the design of aerospace vehicles.
