System Design Aspects of Propulsion Education in Aerospace Engineering Curricula

In the present paper, the inadequacies of the traditional approach to undergraduate propulsion education are discussed. Propulsion as a system endeavor, in contrast to a single discipline, demands a system design education provided in a capstone engine design course in the senior year of aerospace engineering curricula. A suitable course content is proposed, and two examples of recent experiences at the University of Kansas with the AIAA National Airbreathing Engine Design competition are briefly presented. *Associate Professor; Member AIAA
