Aerospace Product Engineering: Lifecycle, Design & Innovatio

Aerospace Product Engineering: lifecycle management, advanced materials, manufacturing processes, and innovation

What you'll learn
- Master aerospace product lifecycle management from concept to disposal, applying PLM, PDM, and digital twin tools for efficient, traceable engineering.
- Select and apply advanced aerospace materials including composites, titanium alloys, and smart materials for performance, safety, and sustainability.
- Implement advanced manufacturing processes like CNC precision machining, automated fiber placement, and additive manufacturing in aerospace projects.
- Apply safety, certification, and compliance standards (FAA, EASA, ICAO) with system engineering tools, risk management, and reliability analysis.

Requirements
- No prior aerospace experience required — this course is designed for beginners and professionals seeking to understand aerospace product engineering fundamentals. Basic technical knowledge in engineering, mechanics, or materials science is helpful but not mandatory for following the lectures and practical exercises. Access to a computer with internet to watch video lectures, download study materials, and complete assessments using digital tools provided in the course. Motivation to learn aerospace innovation and interest in product lifecycle, materials selection, and advanced manufacturing processes are the only essentials.

Description
Aerospace Product Engineering is at the heart of modern aviation and space exploration. This comprehensive course provides students, engineers, and industry professionals with the essential knowledge and tools to design, develop, and manage aerospace products throughout their entire lifecycle.

"This course contains the use of artificial intelligence.”

From conceptual design to certification and sustainable disposal, you will gain a complete view of how aerospace innovation is created and sustained.

You will start by mastering the fundamentals ofproduct lifecycle management (PLM), product data governance, and digital ecosystems that ensure traceability, quality, and compliance across aerospace projects. The course also coversmaterials engineeringin depth, from aluminum, titanium, and advanced composites to smart materials, shape-memory alloys, and self-healing structures designed for extreme environments such as re-entry, microgravity, and radiation.

Next, you will exploreadvanced manufacturing processesincluding CNC machining, additive manufacturing, and automated fiber placement (AFP), along with robotics in aerospace assembly lines. Real-worldcase studiessuch as the Concorde, Airbus A350 XWB, and SpaceX Falcon 9 illustrate how innovation, risk management, and certification shape successful programs.

The course also integratessafety standards and certification frameworks(FAA, EASA, ICAO, ANAC), human factors in product design, and sustainability approaches such as life-cycle cost analysis (LCC), life-cycle assessment (LCA), and circular economy principles.

By the end, you will complete ahands-on project, applying lifecycle tools, material selection methods, and digital engineering practices to design a conceptual aerospace product.

This course is ideal for students, engineers, and professionals who want to excel in aerospace product engineering, combiningdesign, materials, manufacturing, and innovationwith a global industry perspective.
