In 1977, the Department of Aerospace Engineering at the University of Kansas (KU) teamed with KU Continuing Education to offer professional development opportunities to the aerospace industry. Backed by the department’s world-class faculty, KU Continuing Education developed short courses that allowed industry professionals to learn the latest technological advances and research developments. During the last 33 years, more than 26,000 aerospace industry professionals from across the United States and 57 countries have benefited from these state-of-the-art courses. First offered only on the KU campus, the short courses have since been conducted throughout the United States and in many other countries. Today, the University of Kansas offers 42 aerospace short courses, from Airplane Preliminary Design to Fundamental Avionics. Enclosed in this brochure are the descriptions of the courses offered by our program at publicly announced venues and also information specifically for those who are interested in holding courses at their own location. All of our courses, including the ones offered at public venues, can be offered as in-house classes. Our 2009 Singapore public classes were well-received by the local, regional and European aerospace industries, and we will continue conducting our public classes in Singapore in 2010 by presenting three of our popular courses that are suitable for prospective Singapore attendees. See page 5 for a list of those courses. In 2010, we are introducing three new aerospace short courses: Applied Nonlinear Control and Analysis, a five-day class taught by Bill Goodwine Integrated Modular Avionics and DO-297, a two-day class taught by Leanna Rierson Airborne Equipment Design and RTCA DO-160, a four-day class taught by Ken Vranish We have recently introduced a multimedia-based aerospace short course, titled Airplane Performance: Theory, Applications and Certification, taught by Dr. Jan Roskam, mediated by Mario Asselin and delivered online. It has already gained tremendous attention and continues to receive enrollments. In 2010, we also are introducing a Certificate Program for participants who have attended multiple aerospace short courses from the University of Kansas. Please don’t forget to check the following page if you have attended or will attend more than one aerospace short course in the certificate track and wish to receive a combined certificate. Last but not the least, in 2010 we are bringing back our live video-based short courses with newly acquired video-conferencing equipment. This is an affordable alternative to attending public courses or in-house classes. The details are on the following page. While we enjoyed an extremely productive 2009, we are saddened to inform you that we lost one of our long-time instructors, Bill Schweikhard, who passed away on July 12, 2009. He joined our program in 1978, while he was a professor at KU, and taught for the last time in April 2009 at our Seattle public courses. Like many of you, we miss him. We promise to continue his teaching legacy though our service in future years. We wish to thank all of the companies who have supported us through the years by sending your employees to our courses. Without your patronage, we could not have been successful. Our participants are past, present and future, and we hope that we continue to provide you with the world-class aerospace training that you expect and deserve. We look forward to seeing you in 2010! In 2010, we will be able to offer discounts to multiple participants from the same company for the same course, all enrolling at the same time. See page 7 for more information. Sincerely, Soma Chakrabarti, Ph.D. Director, Aerospace Short Course Program www.ContinuingEd.ku.edu/aero Tel. 785-864-5823, or toll-free 877-404-5823 3 Introducing the KU Aerospace Short Course Program Certificate Track and Live Video Presentations If you have attended or will attend more than one face-to-face Certificate tracks (in person) aerospace short course, you may be interested in Aerospace Compliance obtaining a certificate for participating in any four courses listed in the following tracks.
