Study Notes
Aeronautical vs. Aerospace Engineering
- Aeronautical engineering focuses on aircraft design.
- Aerospace engineering encompasses both aircraft and spacecraft design.
History of Aeronautical Engineering
- Origins date back to the late 18th century with Sir George Cayley's work.
- Early development was primarily empirical, drawing on other engineering fields.
- Significant advancements occurred in the 1920s during World War I, with the development of military aircraft.
- Theoretical physics and experiments combined to provide a scientific foundation.
Engineering Methodology
- Engineers apply physics, mathematics, and other relevant sciences to solve problems and improve current solutions.
- Engineers continuously learn and adapt to new knowledge.
- When multiple options exist, engineers weigh different design choices based on their merits and select the best solution.
- Constraints on designs include available resources, physical limitations, technical limitations, flexibility for modifications, and cost, safety, marketing, production, and serviceability requirements.
Problem Solving in Engineering
- Engineers use their knowledge of science, mathematics, and experience to address problems.
- Engineering is a branch of applied science and mathematics.
- Building mathematical models helps analyze problems and test potential solutions.
Engineering Habits of Mind
- Creativity: Engineers need to invent new solutions.
- Systems Thinking: Engineers must understand the interconnectedness of all parts within a system.
- Collaboration: Engineers often work in teams to solve complex problems.
- Communication: Engineers must be able to effectively explain technical concepts to a variety of audiences.
- Attention to Ethical Considerations: Engineers need to consider the ethical implications of their work.
Key principles for K-12 Engineering Education:
- Focus on engineering design.
- Integrate relevant mathematics, science, and technology knowledge and skills.
- Promote engineering habits of mind.
Engineering Design Process
- The design process is central to engineering.
- Engineering literacy involves understanding the process engineers use to create products, processes, and systems.
Importance of Adapting
- Adapting existing solutions to new problems is a crucial engineering skill.
- Engineers often deal with challenges requiring them to modify existing solutions slightly.
- Effective engineers understand when to use their own skills and when to collaborate with others on a project.
The Central Role of "Making"
- The core of engineering involves making things.
- Even "non-making" engineers like software or chemical engineers are involved in design and implementation.
- Engineers create things whether those are physical products, software, or something else.
