My Open Course Ware at Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge M.A., USA

Professors, students, and researchers come to MIT from all corners of the globe to explore their passion for air and space travel and to advance the technologies and vehicles that make such travel possible.

We build on our long tradition of scholarship and research to develop and implement reliable, safe, economically feasible, and environmentally responsible air and space travel.

Our industry contributions and collaborations are extensive. We have graduated more astronauts than any other private institution in the world. Nearly one-third of our current research collaborations are with MIT faculty in other departments, and approximately one-half are with non-MIT colleagues in professional practice, government agencies, and other universities. We work closely with scientists and scholars at NASA, Boeing, the U.S. Air Force, Stanford University, Lockheed Martin, and the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Our educational programs are organized around three overlapping areas:

Aerospace information engineering
Focuses on real-time, safety-critical systems with humans-in-the-loop. Core disciplines include autonomy, software, communications, networks, controls, and human-machine and human-software interaction.

Aerospace systems engineering
Explores the central processes in the creation, implementation, and operation of complex socio-technical engineering systems. Core disciplines include system architecture and engineering, simulation and modeling, safety and risk management, policy, economics, and organizational behavior.

Aerospace vehicles engineering
Addresses the engineering of air and space vehicles, their propulsion systems, and their subsystems. Core disciplines include fluid and solid mechanics, thermodynamics, acoustics, combustion, controls, computation, design, and simulation.

Some of the elements of aerospace engineering are:
  • Fluid mechanics - the study of fluid flow around objects. Specifically aerodynamics concerning the flow of air over bodies such as wings or through objects such as wind tunnels (see also lift and aeronautics).
  • Astrodynamics - the study of orbital mechanics including prediction of orbital elements when given a select few variables. While few schools in the United States teach this at the undergraduate level, several have graduate programs covering this topic (usually in conjunction with the Physics department of said college or university).
  • Statics and Dynamics (engineering mechanics) - the study of movement, forces, moments in mechanical systems.
  • Mathematics - because aerospace engineering heavily involves mathematics.
  • Electrotechnology - the study of electronics within engineering.
  • Propulsion - the energy to move a vehicle through the air (or in outer space) is provided by internal combustion engines, jet engines and turbomachinery, or rockets (see also propeller and spacecraft propulsion). A more recent addition to this module is electric propulsion and ion propulsion.
  • Control engineering - the study of mathematical modeling of the dynamic behavior of systems and designing them, usually using feedback signals, so that their dynamic behavior is desirable (stable, without large excursions, with minimum error). This applies to the dynamic behavior of aircraft, spacecraft, propulsion systems, and subsystems that exist on aerospace vehicles.
  • Aircraft structures - design of the physical configuration of the craft to withstand the forces encountered during flight. Aerospace engineering aims to keep structures lightweight.
  • Materials science - related to structures, aerospace engineering also studies the materials of which the aerospace structures are to be built. New materials with very specific properties are invented, or existing ones are modified to improve their performance.
  • Solid mechanics - Closely related to material science is solid mechanics which deals with stress and strain analysis of the components of the vehicle. Nowadays there are several Finite Element programs such as MSC Patran/Nastran which aid engineers in the analytical process.
  • Aeroelasticity - the interaction of aerodynamic forces and structural flexibility, potentially causing flutter, divergence, etc.
  • Avionics - the design and programming of computer systems on board an aircraft or spacecraft and the simulation of systems.
  • Risk and reliability - the study of risk and reliability assessment techniques and the mathematics involved in the quantitative methods.
  • Noise control - the study of the mechanics of sound transfer.
  • Flight test - designing and executing flight test programs in order to gather and analyze performance and handling qualities data in order to determine if an aircraft meets its design and performance goals and certification requirements.

The basis of most of these elements lies in theoretical mathematics, such as fluid dynamics for aerodynamics or the equations of motion for flight dynamics. However, there is also a large empirical component. Historically, this empirical component was derived from testing of scale models and prototypes, either in wind tunnels or in the free atmosphere. More recently, advances in computing have enabled the use of computational fluid dynamics to simulate the behavior of fluid, reducing time and expense spent on wind-tunnel testing.

Additionally, aerospace engineering addresses the integration of all components that constitute an aerospace vehicle (subsystems including power, aerospace bearings, communications, thermal control, life support, etc.) and its life cycle (design, temperature, pressure, radiation, velocity, life time).

Aerospace engineering degrees

See also: List of aerospace engineering schools

Aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering can be studied at the advanced diploma, bachelor's, master's, and Ph.D. levels in aerospace engineering departments at many universities, and in mechanical engineering departments at others. A few departments offer degrees in space-focused astronautical engineering. The programs of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Rutgers University are two such examples. U.S. News & World Report ranks the aerospace engineering programs at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Georgia Institute of Technology, and the University of Michigan within the top three best programs for doctorate granting universities. However, other top programs within the ten best in the United States include those of Stanford University, Texas A&M University, the University of Texas at Austin, Purdue University and the University of Illinois.[11] The magazine also rates Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and United States Air Force Academy as the premier aerospace engineering programs at universities that do not grant doctorate degrees.

In the UK, Aerospace (or aeronautical) engineering can be studied for the B.Eng., M.Eng.,MSc. and Ph.D. levels at a number of universities. The top universities include University of Cambridge, Imperial College London, University of Sheffield, University of Glasgow, Cranfield University, University of Bristol, University of Bath, University of Manchester and the University of Southampton . Particularly the Department of Aeronautics at Imperial College London is famous for providing engineers for the Formula One industry, an industry that uses aerospace technology.

Goals of BISSA 2009

Organized by Astronomy Graduate Program, BISSA 2009 has goals that are:

  1. To provide participants with an experience of learning and living in a multicultural environment in Bandung, the hosting city
  2. To provide participants with the insights on subjects within Astronomy which will hopefully be their choice for further research
  3. To speed up knowledge sharing and create a knowledge sharing community
  4. To create bonding among students from all over the world
  5. To create further relationship between ITB and other universities and/or schools from which the participants come.

Course Description

BISSA-2009 will be held from July 5 to 23, 2009. The course comprises topics in the realm of Cosmology & Galaxy, Solar System, and Stellar Physics. It is set to prepare the participants to write a mini-research proposal that will be presented in a plenary session. The proposal will be useful not only for the participants, but also for others who would like to continue its implementation.

Lectures will stress on bringing up the hottest and newest issues in Astronomy as well as recent and related researches. There will be discussions on these issues and why such issues are important. Related materials such as research papers will be given to participants as a means of discussions and further analyses. From these lectures, participants are expected to get insights on the possible topics for the research they want to propose and conduct.

Tutorials will emphasize on the deepening and strengthening of the participants’ fundamental knowledge and skills in conducting any kind of (astronomical) research. There will be problems solving, tutorials on mastering astronomical softwares such as IRAF and IDL and other related topics such as how to write a good research proposal.

Mini-Research Proposal Writing. From the beginning of the summer school, participants will be grouped in order to prepare for mini-research proposal writing. Each group is allowed to make up to two mini-research proposals. These will be presented in plenary sessions. It is hoped that participants will follow up the proposals. They will be useful not only for the participants of this summer school, but also for others who would like to continue the implementation of the proposal.

Instrumentation at Bosscha Observatory. The program will be complete with a visit to Bosscha Observatory. Here, participants will be given lectures on instrumentation and introduced to instrumentation at Bosscha Observatory itself. In the evening, participants will be given a chance to visit the telescopes at the observatory.
