Aerospace engineering is a growing and popular field that focuses on the design, development, testing, and operation of aircraft and spacecraft. This minor creates the opportunity for students to achieve a basic level of understanding in this field acrossseveral courses, projects, and/or internship opportunities. Students within Mechanical Engineering can apply for this optional minor once joining the department from the Foundational Engineering program. A minor in Aerospace Engineering consists of 18 hours of fundamental and elective courses covering topics related to the aerospace field. The fundamental courses required are ME 3370- Fluid Mechanics and ME 4334 - Control of Dynamic Systems. The proposed minor sequence consists of ME 3370, ME 4334, and four courses from a list of electives that are being offered: ME 4352- Aerospace Materials, ME 4353 - Compressible Flow, ME 4355 - Aircraft Propulsion, ME 4356- Aerodynamics, ME 4357 -Aircraft Design and Structure, ME 4358 -Combustion Engineering, ME 4361 - Aerodynamics of Wind Turbines. Additional electives are also planned, including ME 4330-(Flight Dynamics)and ME 4330 - (Systems Engineering). Students may also substitute one 3- hour course with ME 4000 for participation in an approved aerospace engineering industry internship. All course substitutions are to be approved by the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Studies in Mechanical Engineering.Students outside of WCOE applying for the proposed minormust have a TTU GPA of...
