Flight & Space
The study of aerospace engineering would not be complete without a basic understanding of the history of aerospace. Many students think that the space shuttle can go to the moon. Some even think people have been to Mars. These misconceptions are often the result of watching science fiction movies or television programs that look real to students.In this course students will be introduced to the history of flight through hands-on activities and research. By having the entire class experience the flight characteristics of various aircraft vehicles, explore the differences between aircraft and rockets, research their respective histories, each student will gain a greater understanding of the evolution of flight.
