The course will address the component design process, starting with conceptualization and progressing through design optimization, material selection, prototyping and finally presentation. Emphasis will be placed on the selection of the appropriate aerospace material for the application and the development of an understanding of structure-property-service materials. This would include polymers, ceramics and composites. Computer-Aided design (CATIA) will be used as a design tool. Lect: 3 hrs./Lab: 2 hrs. Prerequisites: AER 504 and AER 507 and AER 520 and ECN 801 Course Weight: 1.00 Billing Units: 1
