• The aerospace engineering program is offered in the department of mechanical and aerospace engineering.
  • In aerospace engineering, students will apply the laws of physics and mathematics to problems of aircraft flight and space vehicles in planetary atmospheres and adjoining regions of space.
  • Maybe they will design space shuttles, rockets, or missiles. Possibly they might design military, transport, and general aviation aircraft, a V/TOL (vertical/ take-off and landing) aircraft, or a UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle).
  • They could design a spacecraft to travel to Mars or to a more distant planet.
