icelightningSomeone expressed interest, so I thought I'd include the course descriptions for what I'm taking next semester. I took off the end part that lists the prerequisites and states that you have to have a C- or better in them in order to take that course. So here they are!
AOE 3024, Thin-Walled Structures: Review of mechanics of materials. Stresses in stiffened shell beams. Deformation analysis by energy methods. Multicell beams. Introduction to the matrix stiffness method including truss and beam elements.
AOE 3044, Boundary Layer Theory: Concepts of viscous flows and physical properties equations of laminar motion with heat and mass transfer; exact and approximate solutions; finite-difference methods; transition to turbulence; analysis in turbulent flows. Conduction and convective heat transfer.
AOE 4134, Astromechanics: Application of Newton's Laws to the dynamics of spaceflight. Two-body problem, Kepler's Laws, energy and time relations, orbit specification and determination. Orbital maneuver and transfer, patched conic approximations, relative motion, and elements of optimal maneuvering.
AOE 4234, Aerospace Propulsion Systems: Design principles and performance analysis of atmospheric and space propulsion engines and systems. Application of thermodynamics, compressible fluid flow and combustion fundamentals to the design of gas turbine and rocket engines and components, including inlets, turbomachines, combustors, and nozzles. Matching of propulsion system to vehicle requirements.
CS 1706, Introduction to Object-Oriented Development: Fundamental concepts of programming from an object-oriented perspective. Basic software engineering principles and programming skills taught with a programming language that supports the object-oriented paradigm. 1705: Simple data types, control structures, array and string data structures and algorithms, testing and debugging. 1706: Detailed coverage of data structures, algorithms, and the methods of object-oriented design and software construction. Design and construction of medium-sized object-oriented programming projects with an emphasis on teamwork and software engineering. [The course description doesn't mention this, but we'll be programming in Java. We'll probably use Eclipse, which is the most beautiful compiler (program for writing.. uhm, programs) I've ever seen. *-* It actually is able to point you towards major errors in your code!]
And yes, I'm excited about next semester. =DD
