Important Explanation about Elective Courses

There are 6 (Six) technical elective courses in the Aerospace Engineering curriculum. These courses must be chosen from the courses in the list of technical electives, courses that are not in the list cannot be counted as technical electives.

-These 6 Technical Electives: ELEC 001, ELEC 002, ELEC 003, ELEC 004, ELEC 005, ELEC 006.

-In order to graduate, students of the Department of Aerospace Engineering must take at least 6 technical elective courses, at least 5 of which must be selected from the "Departmental Elective Courses" list and at least 1 from the "Advanced Topics in Aerospace" Elective Courses list.

ADVANCED TOPICS IN AEROSPACE ELECTIVE COURSES:

- AE 308 - Introduction to Wireless Communications,

- AE 404 - Spacecraft Communications,

- AE 306 - High-Speed Aerodynamics.

These 3 courses are included in the Advanced Topics in Aerospace Elective courses.

Important Explanation about Complementary Engineering Courses (CEC);

Aerospace Engineering Department students are required to take 3 CEC (Complementary Engineering Courses) to graduate.

TMD courses are coded TMD 001 and TMD 002.

The TMD course group consists of:

- Feng 310 - Environmental Impact Analysis and Life Cycle Assessment,

- Feng 320 - Research Methods in Engineering,

- Feng 372 - Project Management.
