    This document outlines the objectives and units of study for a course on jet engine propulsion. The course aims to establish fundamental approaches and applications of jet engine components, analyze flow phenomena, and estimate thrust developed by jet engines. The five units cover topics like operating principles of piston and gas turbine engines, jet engine intakes and exhaust nozzles, combustion chambers, compressors, and turbines. The outcomes include applying control volume and momentum equations to estimate forces, describing key performance parameters, relating thrust and fuel burn to component performance, and understanding multistage compressor and turbine design. References for further reading are also provided.
