brief description of the content of the course (catalog description)
This course covers aircraft dynamics and control through lectures, in-class practices, and a team-based mini-project. Topics include reference frames, Euler angles, kinematics and equations of motion, linearization of aircraft motion, response analysis, and classical feedback control (e.g., PID and pole placement). Students develop teamwork competencies by forming effective teams, defining roles and responsibilities, integrating team inputs for decision-making, improving communication through feedback, and monitoring progress with demonstrated leadership throughout the glider design and flight simulation project, including midterm and final presentations.
