>>12540827I'm about to finish AeroE grad school (europe). core courses include
- classical mechanics
- basic thermodynamics
- mathematical methods up to partial differential equations and a bit of complex analysis
- signals and control theory to get an understanding of flight control systems and avionics
- orbital mechanics
particular to the field in later courses is the bulk of fluid mechanics and structures
- aerodynamics (theory and applied, mostly CFD methids and inviscid panels codes
- fluid mechanics 1,2 up to three, it usually culminates in boundary layer theory and an introduction to turbulence
- strength of materials, beam theory up to FEM methods, courses about metallurgy (alloys used in aiframe and superalloys for high temperature applications (turbojet/fan turbines)
later specializations and practial applications include
- rotorcraft/helicopter theory
- wind power platforms
- conceptual aircraft deisgn
- general propulsion systems, from turboshaft-propeller to turbofans, ramjets
