The course is a required course for students majoring in aerospace engineering,chemical engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering. Occasionally there arestudents from other majors such as computer science and materials science. Students work inmultidisciplinary teams in both lecture and lab throughout the semester.The open-ended design project starts around week 6 of the semester. The project schedule

aerodynamic phenomena.To do justice to the subject invariably requires some significant attention to experimentation, notonly to discover and demonstrate the associated aerodynamic principles, but to validate how wellaerodynamic theory represents real physical characteristics. In an engineering program thatincludes a full aerospace program, this subject and the related topic areas would invariably bedeveloped in a multiple course sequence. Doing justice to the subject of aerodynamics isparticularly challenging when all the relevant topics must be focused into a single course, ratherthan part of a full aerospace program course sequence. The challenge is then to find the properbalance between the development of aerodynamic theory and laboratory

Start the process with lining up a good match between a school program and a company. Know what the company does, what it makes, how much time they need or want to have the students visit (usually 60-90 minutes),what areas of the plant the students will see, and generally, what the host can offer for the tour. For example, if the company makes components for aircraft or aerospace, an aeronautics or aerospace focused technical program might be a good fit, but that career
