The review document for AAE 2200 Midterm 1 (AU21) has been posted. The file is located in the “Resources for Students” tab. The AAE 2200 Midterm 1 review documents from academic year 19-20 are also available to review as additional resources. Good luck on the exam!

For all AAE 2200 students, the review materials for Midterm 3 have been posted under the ‘Resources for Students’ page. As a reminder, feel free to look through past years’ review materials as well to help prepare for the exam.

SGT has successfully hosted its first fully online AAE 2200 Review session! Despite the obstacles introduced by distance learning, SGT is still fully committed to helping provide academic support for members of Ohio State’s Aerospace Engineering major. Review sessions will be continued throughout the academic year, with special emphasis being placed on the sophomore aerospace classes. The aim of this focus is to aid current pre-majors in their transition to becoming full-fledged members of the MAE department. In regards to resource materials for current AAE 2200 students, the review materials for MT1 from this year and last year can be found in the ‘Resources for Students’ tab, under the ‘Resources’ banner.

Sigma Gamma Tau is excited to welcome its newest class of members. Shubhank Gyawali, Tony Kuenzli, Sam Yoder, Isabella Bidart, Patrick Brandt, Trevor Dundore, Jack Murray, Tammy Nguyen-Huynh, Louie Gustwiller are all current sophomores at Ohio State, and have been admitted into the aerospace engineering major following their academic successes of their first three semesters. SGT looks forward to having them contribute to both the organisation and the field of aerospace engineering!

SGT hosted its first review session of the semester this afternoon. Members of the group went over concepts and problems with students from Aero 2200 to help prepare them for their first ever aerospace midterm. Topics covered included basic units, equations of steady, level flight, hydrostatics, and the standard atmosphere! Some basic Aero test taking advice was also doled out, since the 2200 students have not yet taken a midterm in an aerospace class.

On Thursday, April 4, along with partner organizations AIAA and Buckeye Space Launch Initiative, SGT@OSU hosted the 2019 Ohio State Aerospace Banquet at the brand-new Knowlton Flight Center at The Ohio State University Airport. SGT officially welcomed 11 new members at the banquet, and along with our partner organizations discussed our accomplishments from the past year. The 2019 Aerospace Professor of the Year was also announced to be Dr. John Horack, who among many roles, also serves as the SGT faculty advisor.

This year SGT@OSU was pleased to welcome Dr. Elizabeth Newton, Director of the Battelle Center for Science, Engineering, and Public Policy at Ohio State as its Distinguished Guest Speaker. Dr. Newton gave an enlightening talk on her wide-ranging career and the intersections of public policy and engineering, as well as her advice to engineering students. Thank you to Dr. Horack, Dr. Newton, and all of the organizers who made this event possible, and congratulations to the new inductees!

In collaboration with the OSU chapter of AIAA and the Buckeye Space Launch Initiative, SGT@OSU is pleased to announce the 2019 Celebration of Aerospace Banquet at the OSU Airport. The event will take place at 6:00 PM in the Knowlton Flight Center. The event is free for all OSU students and Aerospace Faculty and will feature a dinner and guest speaker Dr. Elizabeth Newton, Director of the Battelle Center at Ohio State, who will discuss her career and work in aerospace, physics, business, and public policy. Please RSVP here.  For more information, please email us at sgt.osu@gmail.com.

On March 21, members of SGT@OSU hosted another review session for AAE 2201 Introduction to Aerospace Engineering II students at Ohio State. Members answered questions and presented practice problems and conceptual reviews to help prepare students for their midterm on concepts of spaceflight and orbital mechanics. Review materials, including a review packet containing much of the information discussed, can be found at our Resources for Students page. Hard copies of the review packets used to guide these sessions are also posted in the Battelle Center in Page Hall as soon as they become available. The session was again well attended  and many students were able to have questions answered on a variety of aerospace topics. SGT@OSU also hosted its first informal discussion session before Spring Break. These sessions allow students to ask questions in a more informal environment with the goal of getting basic questions answered earlier so we can focus on other areas of concern during the main review session. All AAE 2201 students or those interested in learning more about introductory aerospace concepts are welcome to attend. To provide feedback or learn more, please email sgt.osu@gmail.com.

On February 7, members of SGT@OSU hosted a review session for AAE 2201 Introduction to Aerospace Engineering II students at Ohio State. Members answered questions and presented practice problems and conceptual reviews to help prepare students for their midterm on concepts of aircraft stability. Review materials, including a review packet containing much of the information discussed, can be found at our Resources for Students page. The session was well attended and SGT hopes to present more review sessions for midterms and general questions throughout the semester and beyond. Those who attended and are interested in helping us to improve our review sessions can provide feedback at sgt.osu@gmail.com or through our survey here.

As part of its goal to provide academic services to new aerospace students at Ohio State, members of SGT at OSU hosted a review session for students taking AAE 2200 Introduction to Aerospace Engineering. This review session was the first step in the SGT plan to re-engage in tutoring and review sessions for introductory aerospace classes at Ohio State. SGT members answered questions from students and presented practice problems to give students another opportunity to see the material before their final. This is intended to be the first of several review sessions coinciding with AAE 2200/2201 exams this year and provided some key lessons that will allow SGT to improve tutoring and review sessions in the future. SGT wishes to thank all in attendance, and all comments to help us improve future review sessions can be directed to sgt.osu@gmail.com.
