Lecture Notes

Class sessions follow a discussion format, with two main parts. In one part, the day's invited guests lead a discussion about a topic of their expertise. In the other part of the session, current events are discussed by focusing on recently published Aviation Week and Space Technology articles.

The resources linked in this section contain not only slides presented in class, but a record of the discussion they fostered. Some resources also include a schedule of the day's topics to illustrate the discussion format more clearly.
