Course Content
Advanced concepts used in aerospace engineering system design. Concurrent engineering and multicriteria decision making techniques frequently used in Aerospace Engineering. Incorporating performance parameters like low Life-cycle-cost, safety and Overall Evaluation Criteria (OEC) into the early stages of design. Use of Quality Functional Deployment (QFD) Matrix, Integrated-Product and Process Design(IPPD). Methods to identify the most influential design parameters via analysis of design sensitivities and the use of Pareto Principles. Identfying noise parameters in the design process. Introduction to Probabilistic design methods and robust design methods in Aerospace Engineering. Introducing concepts such as Taguchi Methods, Design-of-Experiments, Response Surface Techniques, Monte Carlo Simulations, leading to a Robust Design Simulation.
