AER 305 - AEROSPACE STRUCTURES

College of Engineering

Credit(s): 3

This course will introduce the fundamentals of aerospace structures, including the principles and practice of their use in analysis and design. Aircraft and spacecraft designs often hinge on critical beam, shell and jointed structures that will be covered, including static strength and failure theories, and dynamic response and fatigue. Resulting student competencies include methods for structural modeling and analyses, materials selection, and critical approaches for design trades and decision making in aerospace structures design and certification.

Prereq: AER/ME 251, EM 302, EM 313, and Engineering Standing.
