Introduction to Propulsion

This course covers fundamental principles of mechanical and aeronautical engineering. It provides you with a deep understanding of all modes of aircraft and spacecraft propulsion.

Gas Dynamics

This course makes use of spreadsheet programs, and contains unique procedures that have never appeared before in any gas dynamics course. Key topics include basic equations of compressible flow, wave propagation in compressible media, isentropic flow of a perfect gas, stationary and moving normal shock waves, oblique shock waves etc.

Introduction to Aerodynamics

This course covers both fundamental principles and practical applications in a more student-friendly format. This course merges fundamental fluid mechanics, experimental techniques, and computational fluid dynamics techniques to build a solid foundation for students in aerodynamic applications from low-speed flight through hypersonic flight.
