namePolytechnic Institute of New York University.California Institute of Technology The Guggenheim building at CalTech was completed in 1928, with a $305,000 grantfrom the Guggenheim Foundation for a graduate school and laboratory in aeronautics,built around a 10-foot low speed wind tunnel designed by Louis Kleinxii. Arthur EmmonsRaymond, Chief Engineer of Douglas Aircraft from 1925 to 1960, joined in 1927 as anAssistant Professor of Aeronautics, started teaching a Saturday class on airplane design toa class including Theodore von Karman, Arthur Louis Klein, Bateman, Clark Millikan,Sechler and Merrill. Clark Blanchard Millikan, starting with a Physics PhD on steadyviscous incompressible flow, developed the wind tunnel along with Klein. Early

the students was thelead systems engineer for the in-house satellite build project, called Texas2Step, sponsored bythe Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). An added bonus to the pilot class was theparticipation of the capstone design professor, as well as a graduate teaching assistant with aMaster’s degree in aerospace engineering from Georgia Tech with an emphasis on SystemDesign and Optimization. The participation of all these many perspectives provided continuousimprovement on the course content and delivery. {Note that current offerings of the SE Courseare available to all students in the space track of the aerospace engineering degree program.}The SE Course content is based on numerous systems engineering handbooks and primers fromNASA1
