For over 20 years, CRC President Dr. Daniel P. Raymer has been presenting engineering short courses related to Aerospace Vehicle Design. His 5-day Aircraft Design Class is considered to be the definitive treatment of the subject and has been attended by almost 3,000 people to date, ranging from college students and new-hires to engineering department managers and vice presidents. This class covers the complete development of a new aircraft conceptual design including layout, sizing, analysis, optimization, and cost, and provides an integrated understanding of how the various participants in the design process can best work together.

Dr. Raymer's advanced course in configuration Design Layout and Loft presents the important job of creating the vehicle geometry, including the best use of CAD. The UAV Design Class focuses a system concept approach on that hot topic. Raymer's Spacecraft & Launch Vehicle Short Course provides an integrated, flight vehicle centered treatment, and the course in System Engineering and Design Management presents a bigger picture of the design project.
