Course Introduction

Propel into the future of aerospace engineering, exploring everything from fluid
dynamics to spacecraft design. Experiment with, calculate, compute, design, build, and solve
problems associated with flight mechanics. Topics include spatial reasoning, 3-dimensional
motion, and basic aero and thermodynamic principles applied to the design and control of
aircraft and spacecraft. Engage in hands-on projects that bring theoretical concepts to life and
prepare for a career in the skies or beyond.
