Courses taught by Prof. Gökçin Çınar at the University of Michigan.

AEROSP 740 - Complex Systems Design & Integration
Examines computational methods for the analysis, understanding, and optimization of complex aerospace systems. Covers design of experiments, surrogate modeling, sensitivity analysis, and multi-criteria decision-making techniques. Topics also include principles of electrified aircraft propulsion systems (encompassing all-, hybrid-, and turbo-electric), energy-based mission analysis, and methods for co-optimization of aircraft, propulsion system, and energy and power management.

AEROSP 481 - Aircraft Design
Multidisciplinary integration of aerodynamics, performance, stability and control, propulsion, structures and aeroelasticity in a system approach aimed at designing an aircraft for a set of specifications. Team based projects are overseen and graded by faculty and may also involve mentoring by representatives from external organizations.
AEROSP 388 - Aerospace Tools & Methods (MBSE)
Comprehensive teachings in Aerospace tools and methods, and statistical modeling, featuring Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE). Physical and virtual verification and validation (V&V) methods will be taught, emphasizing correlation of virtual modeling to physical testing. Root cause analysis and Six Sigma tools and process are included to put V&V into context.
