Digitalisation in Aeronautics and Space Coursera

Overview

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. 

The Digitalisation in Aeronautics and Space Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with Technische Universität München is thus devoted to examining the transformations that have already occurred and forthcoming likely 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.

Applied Learning Project

• The course series projects are devoted to examining 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 the participants an authentic insight into aerospace research fields and possible job tasks emerging in the aerospace industry.

What you'll learn

• You will understand the impact of digitalisation has on aerospace science and the resulting changes.

• You will be able to effectively investigate research questions from differing scientific perspectives.

• You will become familiar with fields of specialisation that are under-represented and engage more in global dialogue on aerospace research.

• You obtain an overview of the most important aerospace research issues and aquire key competencies.
