Learning Outcomes* At the end of this course students will be able to:
1. Confidently explain, discuss, and assess propulsion systems and test
data with professional engineers.
2. Analyze the component and system performance of rockets, aero pis-
ton engines, gas turbine engines, and ramjets.
3. Produce a conceptual design or make improvement modifications to an
existing propulsion system.
Transferable Skills Critical thinking, problem solving, design, communication, and cohesive
team work

Synopsis of Course Contents This course introduces the propulsion systems used in modern aerospace
systems (e.g. aircraft, missiles, space launchers, etc.). Systems include:
rockets, piston aero-engines, gas turbine engines (e.g. turbofans, turbo-
props, turboshafts, etc.), ramjets and scramjets. Students will study and
analyze the specific components of these systems. They will perform math-
ematical engineering analysis on different types of propulsion elements and
calculate their effect on the overall system performance using industry de-
rived figures of merit. Students will be required to work in teams to produce
an integrated conceptual design of a propulsion system optimized to meet
specified mission requirements.
