Courses

A well-structured course in which the student will achieve coordination and strength through a cardiovascular workout. This achievement will come from combining high and low impact movement performed at a level suitable to the individual. The course includes an easy understanding of anatomy and physiology as well as nutrition and diet control.

This course is designed to teach students the proper technique for step aerobics, as well as introduce them to a new form of lifetime aerobic activity utilizing steps.

This course is designed to prepare the student to experience all phases of exercise (warm-up, flexibility, aerobic activity, and toning) in a swimming pool. Water aerobics will be fully developed through these four phases enabling the student to become fit as they desire. Health-related components of physical fitness, advantages and benefits of water aerobics as well as nutrition and weight control will be discussed.

This course is designed to introduce candidates to correct techniques and principles related to building personal fitness using weight training. Candidates will also study the effects of aerobic conditioning, techniques for measuring aerobic capacity, participate in aerobic activities, and design a personal aerobic conditioning program.

A course designed for the swimmer that emphasizes the benefits of continuous exercise. Special emphasis is placed on developing strength in different body areas and enhancing the cardiovascular fitness of the student. This class takes the learned aspects of the swimming strokes and applies them to the student’s overall fitness level.

Introduction to subsonic aerodynamics, including properties of the atmosphere; aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils, wings, and other components; lift and drag phenomena; and topics of current interest.

This course in advanced aerodynamics and flight principles is related to airplane operations and performance. Design concepts for high performance, supersonic, and special use airplanes are studied to enable future pilots to predict airplane performance and limitations in a wide range of flight applications with special regard to speed and configuration.

This course presents the theory of flight and aircraft design as it applies to the manufacturing and repair processes. Topics include: terminology, theory of flight, structural design, control surfaces, and stress and fatigue.

Fundamental concepts in aerodynamics including conservation laws, complex potential theory, thin airfoil theories, finite-wing lifting-line theory, boundary layers and Von Karman momentum integral equations.

Properties of fluids, fluid statics, conservation of mass and momentum, atmospheric properties, two dimensional airfoils, three dimensional wings, drag, and flight performance.
