Aerospace Engineering Thesis
|
|
|
The course is an optional elective course and is intended to provide the student with an opportunity for independent development through solo performance of a design/research project. There is no guarantee of admission to the course since the number of thesis topics is limited. Students considering enrollment in the course must have a CGPA of at least 3.00, and must have department consent. Interested students will select a project topic from a published list and make an application to the corresponding faculty member who will be responsible for advisement of engineering content. The nature of the projects will involve some aspect of the design of an aerospace related component, process or system. The student will submit a formal technical report and conduct an oral presentation both of which will be judged on technical and design content and on communication ability.
