Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute Facilities, Troy, NY
July 8th-12th, 2024 | M-F 9am-4pm | Duration: 1 Week
Open to rising 10th, 11th, and 12th graders | Cost: $2,000
Explore the field of aerospace engineering, tour RPI's top-tier research labs, learn how experimental data is collected by running wind tunnel tests, and learn about advanced computer simulations. Participants will apply their new aerodynamic and flight mechanic knowledge by building electric radio controlled airplanes for test flights.
Participants will learn the basics of aerospace engineering through lectures, aerodynamic demonstrations, computer simulations, and experiments in a lab setting. Various experiments will be conducted on different plane models. Similarly, students will learn and use advanced computational fluid dynamic tools. Students will also design, build, and test two model airplanes utilizing their newly acquired aeronautical engineering knowledge. Interact with our brilliant faculty, graduate researchers, and undergraduate students in the field.
The Summer Aerospace Engineering program is taught by Professor Michael Amitay and Professor Onkar Sahni of Rensselaer’s Department of Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering with support from the School of Engineering’s Design/Build/Fly student club.
