Aerospace Structures and Materials

Course Description

Course introduces students to the multidisciplinary approach to aerospace structures and materials. Concepts related to aircraft loads and thin-wall structures, materials including composites, manufacturing, structural performance, and durability concepts are introduced.

Additional Requirements for Graduate Students:
All students will undertake a project related to the course content. Projects will require written reports and oral presentations. While undergraduate students will complete their projects within groups, graduate students will be required to complete the projects independently.
