DMACC Aerospace Engineering

Prerequisite: IED

Course Description: Aerospace Engineering is the second of a three-course pre-engineering program through Project Lead the Way. This course will expand on the engineering design skills from IED while introducing students to the world of aeronautics, flight, and engineering. Topics covered in the course may include the history of flight, aerodynamics and aerodynamics testing, flight systems, astronautics, space life systems, aerospace materials, and systems engineering. Students will apply the engineering design process to build and test glider, planes, and rockets using industry standard 3D solid modeling software to facilitate the design and documentation. Successful completion and high test results can result in additional credit from the University of Iowa.
