Course Description
This course provides a practical, hands-on introduction to the subject of liquid propellant rocket engine system design. The course is designed to cover all the fundamental topics necessary to grasp the breadth and depth of topics involved in contemporary rocket engine design, development, testing and operation. The principles of the course are immediately validated using previously developed Excel spreadsheet VBA rocket propulsion functions. Participates in this course learn how to do rapid rocket system modeling, analysis and optimization using Excel spreadsheet, VBA and pre-developed rocket propulsion Toolboxes.

Instructor
Tom R. Mincer, Ph.D., Founder and President of SpreadsheetWorld, Inc. (www.spreadsheetworld.com) and Professor of Mechanical Engineering, California State University, Northridge (CSUN). Dr. Mincer is widely recognized as an early pioneer in the extensive use of Excel, VBA and FORTRAN DLLs in engineering. In 1985, he initiated extensive use of Excel into the curriculum at CSUN by integrating it into the courses on systems design, computational methods and computer-aided-engineering. For the past 15 years he has worked extensively in the areas of systems design, simulation and optimization using the Excel Structured Spreadsheet environment. In 1995, he extended his efforts to industry by launching his popular hands-on workshop on Spreadsheet Aided Engineering, which has now been taught 130 times to engineers from over 150 companies worldwide. Alumni from these workshops exceed 1,500 engineers. This workshop is offered on a regular basis at over 30 companies. Dr. Mincer founded SpreadsheetWorld to extend the training services to include development of new and commercialization of existing Excel/VBA Toolboxes, and services to enhance the implementation of the best practices and methods taught in his workshops.
