LEARNING OBJECTIVES

• Understand essential concepts to use Python effectively
• Understand the NumPy add-on library and its practical applications to numerical computations
• Introductions to libraries valuable for aerospace engineering applications
• Accessing documentation
• Software quality assurance and documentation generation
  

AUDIENCE: This course is intended for any engineer, scientist, researcher, or manager with programming needs and/or interests.

TESTIMONIALS:

"This class is filled with extremely helpful information. The exceptionally well prepared course materials were a huge benefit."

"I thought the class was great. I really liked the examples of Propulsion issues that were resolved using Python scripts, and the instructor had a very thorough knowledge of the subject matter."

"The class covered a wide range of content that went over just about everything someone would need to know to make a helpful python program."

"The example codes are very easy to follow and a fantastic resource to catch up on when needed. Perfect notes!"

"Being built on Jupyter was amazing to set up the examples as well as challenge the students with interpretations, mods, and spin-offs. It was a great way to learn. And the way Dr. Ho built up his lessons and examples built concepts layered as nominal, sufficient, and complex solutions. So that you could learn from each level. It was an overall great experience."

"Great professor, great course!"

INSTRUCTOR

Dr. John Peng Ho has been involved in engineering software development and maintenance for his entire career and is a Boeing Designated Expert on engineering software development. Over fifteen years ago, he selected Python as his primary programming language and developed a dozen projects using Python; as well as using it for data analysis and machine learning. He actively coaches engineers at Boeing in Python and effective use of the language and ecosystem. He strongly advocates for software quality assurance and documentation best practices in engineering software.
