Spring 2024 - Oh, wow I loved this class! Somehow Professor Bendana manages to take incredibly complex topics and boil them down to their fundamentals. He made it incredibly easy for me to understand and grasp the material. He ties this class to industry very well and even brought some rocketry parts to class. We even had guest speakers from industry (Relativity!!). Honestly, this has been one of my favorites at UCLA. If you're interested in propulsion or rocketry, I'd highly recommend it!
