This Spring 2026, Prof. Marais will be running a small research course (max 10 students) with a theme of Resilient Aerospace Systems. In this course, we will learn how to read research articles critically (an essential part of any research project) and then how to formulate our own strong arguments that are free of the logical fallacies that plague so much of what we read (and write!). We will be reading a series of articles on aerospace systems, with students presenting articles to the class, along with their assessment of the research and how it is presented.

 

One of the courses in this series is a prerequisite for doing undergraduate research in Prof. Marais’s group.

 

If you are interested in taking the course, please fill out this survey by Wednesday December 3.
