Founder & President of IAEA

Mission: A global aircraft engine industry integrated and sponsored curriculum to develop engine focused graduates based on a balanced engineering sciences and management skills curriculum resulting in faster production, eliminating waste and excessive turnovers. The graduates of this program will be suitable for including and limited to airline planning, leasing powerplant and OEM’s propulsion systems analysis departments.

Description: The current state of aircraft engine industry lacks a focused educational curriculum to provide college graduates and current employees with a comprehensive landscape of areas of functionality and supporting scientific foundations. College graduates often spend years in the industry until find an area that fits desire. The existing employees often return to graduate programs due to lack of adequate knowledge required for their functions and responsibilities. The aircraft engine industry is global and an adequate well defined program can have a significant impact on effective utilization of human resources and eliminating waste in the system by introducing focused employees developed by the industry itself. Industry Executive Committee Members of this committee are:

1. Academia 2. OEMs 3. Airline Operators 4. Maintenance Providers 5. Lessor and Financiers

The executive committee reviews all applications from around the world and select the best of applicants in a common grading system and their professional background. The committee selects the candidates for every school year and solicit program sponsorship funding and two required internships. The committee will provide graduating candidates access to internal postings and rotational programs depending on successful performance results and interests in corresponding sectors. The committee would review and enhance the program’s contents and structure on regular basis. Program Requirements:

1. Bachelor Degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering from accredited institutions 2. BS must have both Thermo-Fluid and Mechanical Design courses passed including

a. Fluid Mechanics b. Heat Transfer

c. Thermodynamics d. Mechanical Design e. Vibrations & Acoustics f. Optimization g. Numerical analysis foundations (Computational Fluid Dynamics & Finite Element)

3. GPA 3.8+, TOEFL 600+, GRE (Verbal: 550+, Quantitative: 750+)

Program Structure; Summer 1: Internship at an airline operations or leasing company Semester 1: AE 640 Turbine Engine Propulsion Systems - Need some Turbomachinery principles also

Advanced theory of turbojet, multi-spool fan jet, variable cycle engines, and bypass air-breathing propulsion systems. Design and off-design performance analysis, theory and design of inlets, compressors, burners and turbines. Component matching, cooling, regenerative systems, test methods and corrections. Engine post stall behavior.

BA 578 Managerial Finance – Focus on engine lease and finance A study of the theoretical and practical approaches to effective financial management. Planning, analyzing, and controlling investment, and short and long term financing are examined for decision making purposes. Emphasis is placed on the application of these methods in the aviation and aviation related industries. Topics include capital budgeting, risk and diversification, asset liability management, airport financing, aircraft financing, financial derivatives, financial engineering, swaps, options, financial future, and international finance.

Semester 2: AE 610 Advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics: Fluid flow, heat transfer and combustion in engines

Application of vortex lattice, panel element, and boundary element methods to incompressible and compressible three dimensional aerodynamics flow problems. Wing and wing-body analysis incorporation of boundary integration for more complete modeling.

BA 603 Aerospace Production & Operations Management An advanced study of production and operations managements as it relates to the planning and coordinating, and executing of all activities that creates goods and services in a global aeronautic/aerospace environment. Special quantitative and qualitative emphasis is placed on the blending of the concepts of industrial engineering, cost accounting, reliability and availability, and general management in the context of core production and control decision activities, such as capacity planning, product design, layout of facilities, selecting of locations for facilities, quality assurance, fleet planning, scheduling, inventory management and project management. Special emphasis is placed on the examination of recent trends in global competition, increased reliance of quality for competitive technology transfer into production

systems and the increased value added by worker involvement in problem solving and decision making.

Summer 2: Internship at an OEM or Maintenance Provider Semester 3: AMS 372 Engine Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul – Equivalent of OEM’s Engine & Fleet

Management, Line & Base Maintenance Under the auspices of the FAA Repair Station organization, the student will find invaluable the real learning situation in this lab. The practical and theoretical side is supported through classroom interaction and includes the study of the procedures and acceptable techniques includes in engine disassembly, inspection, repair and reassembly. The use of advanced techniques of non-destructive testing and the recording and return-to-service procedures necessary are covered.

Semester 4: ME 506 Design for Manufacturing and Assembly – Engine focused, include repair technologies

Manufacturing processes and life cycle design for the aerospace industry. Tolerances and materials properties. Design for manufacturing and associated costs for various manufacturing processes (machining, casting, molding, stamping, forming, forging and extrusion) with aviation related case studies. Design for product assembly and total assembly cost with case studies. Selection of materials and processes using design for manufacturing guidelines, standards, and tolerance fittings.

BA 523 Advanced Aviation Economics A study of economics applications to the aviation and aerospace industry. Students will examine the evolution of market forces in the industry with particular emphasis on airlines, airports and manufacturing. Concepts of yield management, air passenger demand forecasting, price and cost study, airport economics air and land space optimization strategies, government’s role in aviation, international implications of competition and government regulation, economic analysis of safety, and other relevant industry issues are examined. Emphasis is placed on an increasingly international air transport environment.

Thesis – Corresponding industry sector panel approval and defense required

1. Multidisciplinary design and optimization project 2. Operations and cost of ownership analysis of owned and leased fleet 3. Maintenance supply chain optimization and quality enhancement
