GPS Technology Laboratory (Graduate)   
The GPS Technology Laboratory provides an overview of the elements of satellite-based navigation, centered on six lab projects and an individual project. It is by nature an interdisciplinary course, covering subject material in orbit prediction, satellite systems, signal processing, error modeling, computer programming, and digital and microwave electronics.

Feedback Control Experiments - Experiments for feedback control education and research   
Quanser Consulting, Inc., offers a complete line of feedback control experiments. The systems are robust, durable, and modular thus allowing you to reconfigure the same plant to obtain various experiments. Our experiments include the Inverted Pendulum, the Ball and Beam, the Seesaw/Pendulum MIMO experiment, and the Helicopter. All systems are equipped with quick-connect cabling, source code in C, handbooks, system modeling, and control system design files written in Maple, MATLAB, and Simulink. Capture your students' interest while teaching them well-established principles or give your research project an edge by implementing the new control strategies you are developing.

Computational Methods in Aerospace Engineering   
Description: This course serves as an introduction to computational techniques arising in aerospace engineering. Applications are drawn from aerospace structures, aerodynamics, dynamics and control, and aerospace systems. Techniques include: numerical integration of systems of ordinary differential equations; finite-difference, finite-volume, and finite-element discretization of partial differential equations; numerical linear algebra; eigenvalue problems; and optimization with constraints.
