ENME362: Aerospace Design Principles 15 points


Course Code | Waehere Akoranga : Title of Course | Ingoa Akoranga
Department of Mechanical Engineering | Te Tari Pūhanga Pūrere
Course Description | Whakamahuki
This course covers more in-depth engineering design methods than ENME301 and covers procedures that are not
included in the engineering science subjects. The subject matter has an Aerospace design focus and will cover:
Aerospace conceptual design and step-by-step design development; cost and weight estimation; configuration and
layout; basic aircraft performance; aircraft subsystems; lifecycle topics, e.g. environmental issues (pollution, energy,
etc.); safety and reliability certification requirements, risk analysis and management.
Overall students are brought to a level where they can undertake a substantial Aerospace engineering design problem
in a methodical manner, and can produce a professional quality design report.
