Bachelors of Science-Aerospace Engineering
Program Description
The aerospace engineering curriculum provides students with an education in technological areas critical to the design and development of
aerospace vehicles and systems. The aeronautics concentration, under the B.S.E. in aerospace engineering, emphasizes aeronautical engineering.
Topics in required courses cover aerodynamics, aerospace materials, aircraft structures, propulsion, flight mechanics, and stability and control.
Required astronautics topics include orbital mechanics, attitude control and rocket propulsion.
Career Opportunities
Majority of students entering the field of aerospace engineering desire to work on the design and analysis of aerospace vehicles. Most graduates
are employed in the aerospace industry or in government positions related to aerospace. Specific careers in aerospace engineering include vehicle
design and performance, vehicle and component analysis using computer-aided tools, wind-tunnel and flight testing, space mission design and
analysis, propulsion engineering, aeronautical and space systems integration, material and structural design and configuration development.
The objectives of the aerospace engineering program are for graduates to be employed in aerospace engineering or a related field or accepted to
graduate school and:
1. Graduates will have the technical skills for career success, including the ability to think in a critical and evaluative manner and to
consider a broad perspective in order to solve technical and non-technical problems.
2. Graduates will have the professional skills for career success, including an awareness of ethical responsibility, the ability to communicate
well and to work successfully within diverse groups
