If you’re interested in airplanes and wish you knew more about aerodynamics — or air traffic control, space policy, satellite engineering or airline management — you can study all of those topics and more, for free, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, via the university’s OpenCourseware website, according to a post at AVweb. A bit intimidated? Don’t be, according to the AVweb post, which notes “there’s nothing to lose if you fail, and no limit on how many times you can re-take the course.”
