Teaching

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

AEROSP 568 - Computational Methods for Engineered Systems Design
(Previously AEROSP 740) Examines computational and statistical methods for the design of complex engineered systems. Topics include design of experiments, surrogate modeling and surrogate-based optimization, sensitivity analysis, and mixed-variable design space exploration. Aerospace examples highlight advanced aircraft and propulsion system concepts, including methods for co-optimization of aircraft, propulsion, and energy/power management. Click here for more info.
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.
