Engineering 377 - Seminar: Aerial Vehicle Design

Remotely piloted and autonomous aircraft are increasingly being used in scientific research, agriculture, disaster mitigation and national defense. These small and efficient aircraft offer major environmental benefits while, at the same time, raise complex ethical and policy issues. This seminar introduces the rapidly growing field of aerial vehicle design and low-Reynolds number aerodynamics through a major project in which students design, fabricate and test a remotely piloted aircraft. Prerequisites: EGR 374, (one of CSC 110, CSC 120, CSC 205/MTH 205, CSC 210 or CSC 220), and either EGR 220 or CSC 270. Restrictions: Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 12.

[CE] EGN majors only; JR/SR only; Prereq: EGR 374, (CSC 110, 120, 210, 220 or CSC 205/ MTH 205) & (EGR 220 or 270)
