Offered through the Department of Supply Chain Management, the aim of this course is to explore the application of analytical methods in production and operations management with emphasis on planning and control. The course will give prominence to the use of the analytical methods within the aerospace life-cycle management setting.

The aim of this course is to introduce the key system imperatives and elements in the design of air and space vehicles. Students will develop an appreciation for the characteristics of the aerospace environment and its effect on the design of aerospace vehicles, and on the interplay between system employment, design and cost. Learn the fundamentals of writing Request for Proposals, proposals and contracts.

Offered through the Department of Political Studies, this course will explore the structural, regulatory and political aspects of today’s aerospace industry, with a heightened focus on its global nature. We will examine the critical linkages between operators, manufacturers and government regulators, and the existing and necessary government-business relationships.

Offered through the Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, the aim of this course is to introduce the fundamental concepts of program management and systems engineering as they pertain to building an aerospace system. We will examine the dynamics of managing the wide-ranging considerations, stakeholders, and activities involved in a complex development and design activity, and in the pursuit of system and cost optimization.

Project management involves the planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling of resources and processes to produce a unique product, service or result. They are temporary endeavours where the coordinated management of quality, time and cost is essential for success. This course explores the practice and issues of project management in an aerospace context; a notably complex and demanding context.

This is the final course to be completed in program.

The aim of this course is to integrate the material covered in the previous courses through an applied project of one’s own choice. The project can either be focused on a current aerospace development initiative or a critical review of a historical one. The applied project will require the student to write a proposal, collect and analyze data, and write a final report. This capstone course will provide the student with the opportunity to not only synthesize the material presented elsewhere in the program, but also to connect with, and make a valuable contribution to, a specific project and/or industry player.

Understand what marketing is and is not, how it can help you in your career, and the role of marketing in companies and in our economy. The course will provide you with a basic understanding of the concepts, terms, and theories of marketing. Learn how to segment markets, develop marketing strategies, and how to deal with uncontrollable elements.

Develop a basic understanding of quality assurance concepts and their applications in the service and manufacturing sectors. Reviewed from a management perspective.

An introduction to statistical quality control techniques and how these techniques are used in practice. Concepts and procedures can be applied to both manufacturing and service industries.

Today’s aerospace industry is one of the most complex, demanding and regulated industries in the world, and stands as a global leader in research, development and innovation. This course explores selected topics associated with the design, production, operation and sustainment of aerospace systems.
