    Aerospace Engineering

    About

    This 2+2 program teaches students on our campuses in Beckley and in Morgantown. WVU Tech's Aerospace Engineering program is a 2+2 in which students complete the first two years at WVU Tech and the following two years at WVU (Morgantown). The curriculum includes studies in the design of aerospace vehicles, missiles, rockets and spacecraft. Students are provided with a strong background in the basic principles of fluid dynamics, solid mechanics and structures, stability and control, thermal sciences and propulsion.

    Dynamics

    Explore the science behind particle dynamics, including rectilinear and curvilinear motion, Newton's laws, work and energy, impulse and momentum. You'll also learn about the systems of particles, kinematics of rigid bodies, plane motion of rigid bodies and the kinetics of rigid bodies in three dimensions.

    Flight Vehicle Propulsion

    Learn about equilibrium combustion thermodynamics, quasi one-dimensional flow with friction and total temperature change. You'll cover the thermodynamics of aircraft engines and the aerodynamics of inlets, combustors, nozzles, compressors and turbines, plus the performance of rockets and ideal rocket analysis.

    Space Flight and Systems

    Participate in an introduction to fundamental concepts of space flight and vehicles with an emphasis on performance aspects and basic analytical expressions. You'll learn common analysis methods and design criteria for launch vehicles, orbital mechanics, atmospheric re-entry, stabilization, thermal, power and attitude control.
