Aerospace Engineering
This course is one of the elective courses you can take on the four year journey called Project Lead the Way. Aerospace Engineering (AE) is usually taken in your third or fourth year, and is focused on the ability to understand aerodynamics; in planes, gliders, rockets and more.
Highlights of this course include:
Understanding Aerodynamics Flight Sim Fridays (right) Building your Own Glider Designing and Testing Airfoils Building models to Specs Calculating the Effect of Wind Setting off Rockets |
"This course propels students’ learning in the fundamentals of atmospheric and space flight. As they explore the physics of flight, students bring the concepts to life by designing an airfoil, propulsion system, and rockets. They learn basic orbital mechanics using industry-standard software. They also explore robot systems through projects such as remotely operated vehicles."
