ENGINEERING
 EAS
6939f Special Topics in Aerospace Engineering: Building
Missile Simulations in C++ (3 Cr)
Prerequisites: Basic C++ programming and background in flight dynamics.
Stepwise approach of building a missile simulation while taking full advantage
of the ANSI/ISO 98 C++ features: control statements, pointers, functions,
classes, operator overloading, input/output streams, inheritance and virtual
functions. Polymorphism, inheritance and encapsulation (PIE) will become alive
as the student builds a simulation for multiple cruise missiles and targets. The
class will be conducted in the REEF Computer Lab (one computer/student,
Microsoft Visual C++ 7 compiler). Attendance is limited to 8 participants. First
come/first serve for those who satisfy the prerequisites. Otherwise, consent of
instructor is required.
