Course Objective 衛星科技與工程導論課程將介紹衛星系統及主要次系統的基礎知識，培養學生具備衛星任務設計與初步工程分析的能力。課程內容涵蓋：衛星基本原理、軌道力學、衛星結構與熱控設計、電源系統、遙測追蹤與控制（TT&C）系統、姿態決定與控制系統（ADCS）、小型衛星發展及未來衛星科技趨勢。 The course "Introduction to Satellite Technology and Engineering" introduces the basic knowledge of satellite systems and key subsystems to develop students' abilities in satellite mission design and preliminary engineering analysis. Course topics include: fundamental principles of satellites, orbital mechanics, satellite structure and thermal control design, power systems, Telemetry, Tracking, and Command (TT&C) systems, Attitude Determination and Control Systems (ADCS), small satellite development, and future trends in satellite technology.

Course Schedule Week 1: Introduction to Satellite Technology and Engineering Week 2: Space Environment and Effects Week 3: Orbital Mechanics and Mission Analysis I Week 4: Orbital Mechanics and Mission Analysis II Week 5: Systems Engineering and Mission Design Week 6: Introduction to TT&C Systems Week 7: Lab 1: TT&C System Simulation Week 8: Satellite Structures and Materials Week 9: Midterm Exam Week 10: Thermal Control Systems Week 11: Power Systems Engineering Week 12: Introduction to ADCS Systems Week 13: Attitude Sensors and Determination Week 14: Actuators and Control Laws for ADCS Week 15: Lab 2: ADCS Simulation Week 16: Small Satellites and Agile Engineering Week 17: Space Debris, EOL, and Emerging Technologies Week 18: Final Project Presentations and Reports

Evaluation and grading policy Class Activities 20% Labs and Assignments 20% Midterm Exam (Week 9) 30% Final Project Report (Week 18) 30% --- Class Activities Include quizzes, in-class problem-solving, and participation in discussions. Labs and Assignments Are hands-on exercises based on TT&C and ADCS simulations as well as regular homework. Midterm Exam Will test theoretical knowledge and basic design/problem-solving skills. Final Project Report Will involve a comprehensive conceptual satellite system design, including subsystem selections, mission planning, and basic simulations. 課堂活動（Class Activities）包含隨堂小考、課堂問題討論與解題練習，提升學生參與度與即時學習成效。實驗與作業（Labs and Assignments）涵蓋衛星遙測、追蹤與控制系統（TT&C）與姿態控制系統（ADCS）的模擬操作及定期作業，強化理論與實作能力。期中考試（Midterm Exam）評量學生對理論知識的掌握及基本設計與問題解決能力。期末專題報告（Final Project Report）要求學生完成一份全面性的概念衛星系統設計，內容包括次系統選擇、任務規劃及基礎模擬分析，培養系統整合與工程實踐能力。

The access to curricular consultation Students can consult the instructor through in-class questions, email, or office hours (by appointment). Online consultation is also available via MS Teams (NTUT learning platform).

Expanding teaching and resources ● 混成學習 (Blended Learning)
課程結合實體授課與線上學習（同步視訊／非同步活動）。
Combines face-to-face instruction with online learning (including synchronous video sessions or asynchronous activities).
● 參與式創新教學 (Participatory & Innovative Teaching)
強調學生參與與產出，導入翻轉、PBL/專題、設計思考或遊戲化等策略。
Emphasizes student engagement and outcomes by adopting strategies such as Flipped Classroom, PBL (Problem/Project- Based Learning), Design Thinking, or Gamification.

The course corresponds to the SDGs SDG9：產業創新與基礎設施（Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure）

Does the course incorporate AI ● 鼓勵學生使用生成式AI工具（Encourage students to use generative AI tools）
