Course Objectives:Upon the completion of this course students will have the ability to predict the performance and conduct preliminary design of aerospace propulsion systems and their components.
GRADING:Homework 20%Exam 1 25%Exam 2 25%Final exam 30%
100%
Tests will be closed book and notes with an
equation sheet provided. Students are allowed to
work together on the homework.
However, the purpose of the homework is to prepare you for the
exams. Thus copying your homework from others will hurt you on the exams and not doing
the homework altogether will hurt doubly.
Cheating during exams will not be tolerated and will be handled
according tothe College of Engineering
guidelineson academic integrity.
