Small student teams retrospectively analyze an existing aircraft covering: key design drivers and decisions; aircraft attributes and subsystems; and operational experience. Oral and written versions of the case study are delivered. For the Fall 2005 term, the class focuses on a systems engineering analysis of the Space Shuttle. It offers study of both design and operations of the shuttle, with frequent lectures by outside experts. Students choose specific shuttle systems for detailed analysis and develop new subsystem designs using state of the art technology.CIP140201Aerospace, Aeronautical and Astronautical EngineeringCIP150801Aeronautical/Aerospace Engineering Technology/Technicianspace shuttlespace systemsNASAaircraft systemsaircraft systems engineeringlifecyclecost estimationweight estimationaircraft performanceaircraft safetyaircraft reliabilitysubsystemsrisk analysisrisk managementsystem realizationretrospective analysiskey design driversdesign driversdesign decisionsaircraft attributesoperational experiencecase studycase studiesair transportation systemair defense systemsystems engineeringinterface managementinterface verificationinterface validationsubsystem architectureperformance issuesdesign closurecomplex systemsspace shuttleNASAsound barrierascentaeronauticsliftofftakeoff
