Aerospace Engineering 2000:An Integrated, Hands-On Curriculum

摘要

The College's new Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory will begin full time operation in the fall. With this college-wide facility to aid us, and with significant support from the Colorado Commission on Higher Education and the Lockheed Martin Corporation, Aerospace Engineering Sciences has instituted a first-year projects course, a new sophomore curriculum comprised of four courses that integrate theory, analysis and experiments (as well as the disciplines) to provide a systems perspective, and capstone, two semester, senior design laboratories supported by a new facility planned for the department. This undergraduate reform was paralleled by adding specificity to our graduate degree requirements and the adoption of a five year BS/MS co-terminal degree. We are now completing our plans for the upper division curriculum.
