Description
Digitalisation is changing our society and the working world, creating new processes and radically altering existing workflows. Aerospace is being impacted like every other scientific field and innovation without digitalisation is no longer conceivable.
This three-part MOOC series “Digitalisation in Aeronautics and Space” examines the transformations that have already occurred and likely upcoming changes, posing the question: what will aerospace science be like in future and what will the influence of digitalisation be on research? An array of research fields are focused on in relation to this question, including artificial intelligence in earth observation, robots in production and digital avionics networks, among others.
The course series projects examine the principles of terrestrial technology fields and the disruptive changes caused by digitalisation; to the aircraft design process and particularly the challenges arising during the preliminary design phase and eventually to the principle tasks involved in civil aircraft maintenance. Those three assessments try to give participants an authentic insight into aerospace research fields and possible job tasks emerging in the aerospace industry.
What you will learn
At the end of the course, you will be able to:
- Understand the impact of digitalisation on aerospace science and the changes it is driving
- Effectively investigate research questions from differing scientific perspectives
- Become familiar with fields of specialisation that are under-represented and engage more in global dialogue on aerospace research
- Gain an overview of the most important aerospace research issues and aquire key competencies
