What's Boeing up to

That they need UCLA to offer a special restricted class in Spacecraft Structure Design and Analysis.

Permission to enroll required. Further information will be displayed in the Shopping Cart. (Restricted to Boeing employees only) This course is intended for engineers and students with an interest in the various aspects of spacecraft structural design and configuration development. The concepts and techniques presented are drawn from practical hands-on experiences in both aerospace structural design and analysis as well as general engineering theory. Topics include structural design drivers; design considerations for typical structural components; dynamics and loads analysis; review of mechanics of materials; stress analysis and failure theories; finite element analysis in structural analysis; composite material selection, design, and analysis; aerospace fastener selection; structural test verification; and quality assurance. Students become familiar with computer software commonly used to enhance structural design and analysis, thus minimizing the amount of required structural testing and producing more cost-effective spacecraft designs. Prerequisite: Undergraduate course in Strength of Materials or consent of instructor.Elective course in Certificate in Astronautical Engineering.Enrollment limited to Boeing employees only. Restricted course; call (310) 825-4100 for permission to enroll. Web enrollments automatically generate a "Permission to Enroll" request. Internet access required to retrieve course materials. Visitors not permitted.

No location for the course is given but I bet it's Area 51.  Somebody get Jesse Ventura on this fast.
