/ Co-requisite/ Exclusion Pre-requisite: AAE2005 Electrics and Electronic for Aeronautical Engineering

Teaching Pattern

Methodology Teaching is conducted through class lectures, case studies, and laboratory exercises. The basic knowledge, methodology, and theoretical analysis will be introduced in lectures. The understanding of how to design and test a satellite from a systematic engineering perspective is emphasized via case studies. Design methodology, analysis skills, satellite control techniques, and program methods are taught in laboratory sessions. Assignments and quizzes, laboratory exercises, projects, oral dissemination, and final reports are used to make up the coursework marks.
