Texas A&M University College of Engineering

Development of an Integrated Multidisciplinary Curriculum for Intelligent Systems

National Science Foundation
1 March 2001 – 29 February 2004
Co-P.I.s Dimitris C. Lagoudas, Thomas W. Strganac, Othon K. Rediniotis, and John D. Whitcomb
Total award $354,999

This program is a curriculum development in the Aerospace Engineering department which provides undergraduate students an optional degree specialization in intelligent systems, encompassing both specialized core courses and elective courses throughout the freshman through senior years. Each participant receives specialized instruction in intelligent autonomous vehicles; biomimetics; smart materials technology; fluid-structure-control interactions; multidisciplinary design optimization; computational mechanics; controls; aerodynamics; and structures. The capstone of this program is a two-semester senior design sequence in which students design, simulate, test, build, and fly intelligently controlled uninhabited aerial vehicles (UAVs). Students who complete this Intelligent Systems option receive a certificate recognizing their accomplishment.

Working with me on this program are Graduate Research Assistants:

  • Brian Wood
  • Monish Tandale
  • Roshawn Bowers
