Aircraft Systems Engineering: Course Description
Study the design and operation of space shuttles in 'Aircraft Systems Engineering,' a free MIT OpenCourseWare project. The course was taught by shuttle astronaut and MIT professor Jeff Hoffman, as well as Professor Aaron Cohen, the former space shuttle orbit project manager. Course topics include cost and weight estimation, risk analysis and management, life cycles and aircraft subsystems. The course materials focus on an analysis of the space shuttle systems engineering. Subsystem designs were completed in the original class by utilizing modern technology. Guest speakers provide a majority of the class content in the form of video lectures. Oral and written case studies are analyzed throughout the course materials. The original course was an option in various graduate degree programs in MIT's Aeronautics and Astronauts Department.
This OpenCourseWare includes a reading list, video and audio lectures and sample class projects. To view this varied study content,visit the astronautics course page.
