AEE 1201 – Introduction to Aerospace Engineering
Homework 1
Part 1: Class Introduction
1.
What is your name, and where are you from?
Gatsinzi Isaro Nicole and I am from Rwanda.
2.
Why did you choose to come to the Florida Institute of Technology?
I chose Florida Tech because of its standing with aerospace and stem courses.
3.
Why did you choose aerospace engineering as your major? I chose aerospace because of my love for creation and interest in aircraft/spacecraft. (NASA, SpaceX)
4.
Are you more interested in: a) aircraft; b) spacecraft, or c) equally interested in both?
I am equally interested in however I enjoy learning more about spacecraft.
5.
Please paste a recent photograph of you into your file- this will help your instructor start to match names with faces.
Part 2: Emerging trends in Aerospace Engineering
Do some research on emerging trends in aerospace engineering and find an area that you personally find interesting. Write 1-2 paragraphs in your own words describing the emerging trend, why this is an emerging trend, and why you find it interesting. Cite two references.
One of the most known emerging trends in the aerospace industry is their use if Artificial
Intelligence. The aerospace and technology industry are greatly benefiting from AI and the use
of machine learning in research and education. Machine learning offers the inability to gain new
insights into the materials and discover new patterns and relations to data. AI can handle far
more complex problems than the human brain can and at a rapid rate.
For instance, researchers at the Airforce Research Laboratory (AFRL) are using machine
learning, AI, and other systems to greatly increase the rate of materials discovery and lower costs
of technology (“Advanced Materials - Technology Trends”). I believe this is an emerging trend
because AI stores information and solves problems at an easier/faster rate. Finding inaccuracies
within systems has become more accurate and less time consuming. I find this interesting
because of the knowledge and technological systems that enable AI to function. It’s an
exponentially growing trend that continues to benefit all fields of research and education. Bibliography 1.
