AA 100: Introduction to Aeronautics and Astronautics

This class introduces the basics of aeronautics and astronautics through applied physics, hands-on activities, and real world examples. The principles of fluid flow, flight, and propulsion for aircraft will be illustrated, including the creation of lift and drag, aerodynamic performance including takeoff, climb, range, and landing. The principles of orbits, maneuvers, space environment, and propulsion for spacecraft will be illustrated. Students will be exposed to the history and challenges of aeronautics and astronautics.
Terms: Win | Units: 3 | UG Reqs: GER:DB-EngrAppSci, WAY-AQR, WAY-SMA
Instructors: Arya, M. (PI) ; Herrscher, J. (TA) ; Njeri, S. (TA) ; Seefried, K. (TA)

AA 115Q: The Global Positioning System: Where on Earth are We, and What Time is It?

Preference to freshmen. Why people want to know where they are: answers include cross-Pacific trips of Polynesians, missile guidance, and distraught callers. How people determine where they are: navigation technology from dead-reckoning, sextants, and satellite navigation (GPS). Hands-on experience. How GPS works; when it does not work; possibilities for improving performance.

AA 136A: Spacecraft Design

Space Capstone I. This course is focused on the design and implementation of uncrewed spacecraft with an emphasis on nano-satellites. Practical laboratory exercises will introduce students to the fundamentals of flight software, electronics, and mechanical design while building on a flight-proven spacecraft architecture. Students will work in teams to develop and present their design of a spacecraft subsystem. Required for Aero/Astro majors. For all other majors consent of instructor is required. Enrollment priority will be given to Aero/Astro seniors. Prerequisite: AA 131

Instructors: Lee, N. (PI) ; Armour, G. (TA) ; Buurmeijer, H. (TA) ; Hendricks, K. (TA)

AA 146A: Aircraft Design

Air Capstone I. Required for Aero/Astro majors. This capstone design class allows students to apply knowledge from prior classes in a way that emphasizes the interactions between disciplines and demonstrates how theoretical topics are synthesized in the practical design of an aircraft concept. Prerequisites are MATH 19, 20, 21, CME 100, CME 102 or MATH 51, 53. CME 104 or Math 52 recommended. Elementary physics, and AA100 or equivalent classes. Additional required AA courses dealing with aero, structures, and controls.
Terms: Win | Units: 3
Instructors: Alonso, J. (PI) ; Sui, A. (TA) ; Tan, M. (TA)

AA 160: Flying: Private Pilot Ground School

This course is designed to prepare the student pilot to meet the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requirements (14 FAR 61.105) to take and pass (70% or greater score) the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge (written) exam. Topics include aerodynamics, airplane systems, performance and limitations, federal aviation regulations, navigation, aviation weather theory, flight planning, and risk management. Upon successful competition of this course, the instructor will endorse the appropriate section of your logbook to sit for the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge exam. Additionally, this course seeks to introduce the joys and opportunities that aviation can provide whether personal/pleasure flying, commercial flying or beyond.

AA 174B: Principles of Robot Autonomy II (AA 274B, CS 237B, EE 260B)

This course teaches advanced principles for endowing mobile autonomous robots with capabilities to autonomously learn new skills and to physically interact with the environment and with humans. It also provides an overview of different robot system architectures. Concepts that will be covered in the course are: Reinforcement Learning and its relationship to optimal control, contact and dynamics models for prehensile and non-prehensile robot manipulation, imitation learning and human intent inference, as well as different system architectures and their verification. Students will earn the theoretical foundations for these concepts and implement them on mobile manipulation platforms. In homeworks, the Robot Operating System (ROS) will be used extensively for demonstrations and hands-on activities. Prerequisites: CS106A or equivalent, CME 100 or equivalent (for linear algebra), CME 106 or equivalent (for probability theory), and AA 171/274.
Terms: Win | Units: 3-4

AA 190: Directed Research and Writing in Aero/Astro

For undergraduates. Experimental or theoretical work under faculty direction, and emphasizing development of research and communication skills. Written report(s) and letter grade required; if this is not appropriate, enroll in 199. Consult faculty in area of interest for appropriate topics, involving one of the graduate research groups or other special projects. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 3-5 | Repeatable for credit

AA 191: Practical Training

For undergraduate students. Educational opportunities in high technology research and development labs in industry. Students engage in internship work and integrate that work into their academic program. Following internship work, students complete a research report outlining work activity, problems investigated, key results, and follow-up projects they expect to perform. Meets the requirements for curricular practical training for students on F-1 visas. Student is responsible for arranging own internship/employment and faculty sponsorship. Register under faculty sponsor's section number. All paperwork must be completed by student and faculty sponsor, as the Student Services Office does not sponsor CPT. Students are allowed only two quarters of CPT per degree program. Course may be repeated twice.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-3 | Repeatable 3 times (up to 3 units total)
Instructors: Farhat, C. (PI)

AA 199: Independent Study in Aero/Astro

Directed reading, lab, or theoretical work for undergraduate students. Consult faculty in area of interest for appropriate topics involving one of the graduate research groups or other special projects. May be repeated for credit. Prerequisite: consent of instructor.
Terms: Aut, Win, Spr, Sum | Units: 1-5 | Repeatable for credit
