MINOR PROGRAMS

---

There are four minor programs offered to the students from other departments. These programs are Aerodynamics, Aeropropulsion, Aerostructure and Flight Vehicle Control. In each program students are required to take six additional courses designated below.

• MINOR PROGRAM IN AERODYNAMICS
  The aim of this minor program in aerodynamics is to give the basic information on aerodynamics of aeronautical systems to students who are interested in aeronautics.

  Compulsary Courses
  AE172 Introduction to Aircraft Performance (3-0)3
  AE244 Fluid Mechanics (4-0)4
  AE341 Aerodynamics I (3-2)4
  AE342 Aerodynamics II (3-2)4
  AE372 Flight Mechanics (3-0)3
  AE451 Aeronautical Engineering Design (2-2)3

• MINOR PROGRAM IN AEROPROPULSION
  The aim of this minor program is to provide students, who are interested in aeronautics, with basic information about the methods of approach and facts on aeronautical propulsion systems.

  Compulsary Courses
  AE172 Introduction to Aircraft Performance (3-0)3
  AE231 Thermodynamics (4-0)4
  AE334 Propulsion Systems I (3-2)4
  AE372 Flight Mechanics (3-0)3
