Summer aerospace courses available at KU

Aerospace engineers from all over the world will travel to the University of Kansas this summer to attend an aerospace summer school offered by the aerospace department and the division of continuing education.
Courses offered in the internationally acclaimed program last from two to five days and are on subjects like aeronautics, airplanes to their promulsion systems.
Jan Barton, program manager for engineering, architecture and business continuing education programs, has organized the short courses every year except 1977, the program's first year.
"The preparation that goes into one of these courses is just incredible," she said. "The professors work hard on making sure their material is current and update their courses every year."
Barron said that enrollment in the 13 courses offered this summer already was more than 140, last year's total. She said that none of the courses had enrollment limits except one with limited computer capacity.
A two-day course costs $495 compared to the $1,095 tuition for a five-day course. Courses are offered beginning in mid-May and end in the fall.
Participants earn credit called continuing education units. A unit is a nationally recognized standard used as proof of participation in approved continuing education activities.
Barron said part of the reason courses were offered at different times was to allow participants to enroll in more than one course.
"We have had people from Taiwan and Brazil stay for three weeks," she said.
Jan Roskam, Deane E. Ackers distinguished professor of aerospace engineering, taught the first short course in 1977. He said KU's short course program was one of the biggest in the country behind the universities of Michigan, Tennessee and the University of California at Los Angeles.
"A lot of universities are in the short course business," Roskam said. "Most of them are theoretically oriented."
Roskam said the KU program differed from most because it combined practical and theoretical aspects of design and development of aircraft.
