Organizational Units
The Department of Aerospace Engineering seeks to instruct the design, analysis, testing, and operation of vehicles which operate in air, water, or space, including studies of aerodynamics, structure mechanics, propulsion, and the like.
History
The Department of Aerospace Engineering was organized as the Department of Aeronautical Engineering in 1942. Its name was changed to the Department of Aerospace Engineering in 1961. In 1990, the department absorbed the Department of Engineering Science and Mechanics and became the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. In 2003 the name was changed back to the Department of Aerospace Engineering.

The Center for Nondestructive Evaluation at Iowa State has been involved in the use of nondestructive evaluation testing (NDT) technologies to: assess the integrity of a substance, material or structure; assess the criticality of any flaws, and to predict the object’s remaining serviceability. NDT technologies used include ultrasonics and acoustic emissions, electromagnetic technologies, computer tomography, thermal imaging, and others.
History
In October of 1985 the CNDE was approved by the State Board of Regents after it had received a grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) as an Industry/University Cooperative Research Center.

Abstract
Challenges and opportunities for NDE within the new ecosystem of cyber physical systems for production, the internet of things and management of Big Data will be discussed. New production techniques, for example 3D printing will allow efficient in-time production of low numbers of unique parts customized for the need of any purchaser. Aspects of NDE reliability and the effect of the human factor has to be reconsidered. New hand-held devices based on tablet computers will be applied to make NDE available and affordable for anybody. As a benefit, product inspection at home can become an additional component of monitoring the life cycle of a product. This might significantly increase the acceptance of NDE by solving new inspection problems for all day service. NDE will revolutionize to NDE 4.0 for Industry 4.0
