The aerospace engineering program exposes students to different aspects of the aerospace industry. Students will have the opportunity to explore which part of engineering complements their passions, interests, and skillset.
- On the aeronautics side, the coursework focuses on aeroacoustics and noise problems, vertical take-off, landing systems (drones or helicopters), and aircraft engine research. Students will finish the semester with a design-build-fly (DBF) capstone project that requires them to build their own remotely piloted vehicles.
By graduation, students will be able to apply the fundamentals of engineering analysis and design to the formulation and solution of emerging technical problems within their discipline of choice.
