• Students will work with some of the foremost scientists in the field today, and they will benefit from access to unparalleled research opportunities. Students’ studies will prepare them not only for work in the aerospace industry but in any branch of engineering dealing with bodies and vehicles whose applied loads are influenced by aerodynamic forces.
  • UC Davis aerospace science and engineering majors have found employment in nearly all major aerospace companies or in other technical careers related to their majors. Others have gone on to pursue advanced study in engineering or other technical fields.
  • As aerospace science and engineering majors, students will begin their studies with an extensive series of foundation courses in science and mathematics. At the upper-division level, students will take advanced courses in specific topics in aerospace science and engineering. These courses will include subjects such as aero-thermodynamics, propulsion systems, aircraft performance, flight testing, and component and mechanism design.
