MAE 3310

This class is basically a repeat of strength of materials, with some more advanced content integrated in. There was a midterm and a final, both worth 30% each. Make sure you do well on these. Weekly assignments consist of homework and quizzes. Two of the homeworks were group assignments, the first of which being a slightly complicated assignment to design a child safety latch. Momot’s lectures consisted of PowerPoints and sample problems. He’s not a bad lecturer, but he does get sidetracked fairly often. #tCFF23

Decent course. There is one midterm and one final, as well as weekly problem sets (which are so-so) and weekly collab quizzes, rinse and repeat. The quizzes are moderately hard and it's easy to screw up on them because of the way some of the questions are worded. I definitely feel as if I could have done better on them. As for the content of the course, it's basically Strength of Materials 2 / Statics 3. You learn a lot about mathematically advanced theories about the concepts introduced in those previous courses. Don't let the course name deceive you: It's really 2% "aerospace" and 98% "structures". Perhaps it's to cater to the aero kids to make it feel like they're actually doing aerospace stuff, idk. Some of the problems involve something like an airfoil or a propellor but it's not like you're actually learning much about the parts of an aircraft or spacecraft.
