Aeronautical University, Prescott AZAbstract The development of an undergraduate advanced experimental aerodynamics course isdiscussed in this article. The aim of the course is to allow an easier transition to graduate levelresearch through development of problem solving skills as well as exposure to the researchprocess. The course comprises a mixture of applied theoretical and hands on project basedlearning. The theory component is modular, with coverage of topics supportive of the assignedprojects. Use of numerical tools for airfoil and aircraft analysis is required, as is proficiency inLabView for data acquisition. Projects are performed in groups. Students generally conduct twoprojects. One is equipment based, where students become proficient
