  • Videos allow you to see facilities, and resources of schools that teach the major

More About Aerospace Engineering

"Students tailor the program to their own interests by choosing electives from advanced aerospace courses or from courses in a wide range of other technical areas. These include applications include aerodynamics, helicopters, air vehicle systems, rocket and spacecraft propulsion, orbital dynamics and satellite control, materials and advanced composites, and computer and information systems for aerospace vehicles."

"The first year focuses on coursework in the areas of chemistry, mathematics, physics, humanities, social sciences. The second year adds coursework in general engineering sciences and aerospace specific disciplines. The third and fourth years emphasize aerospace disciplines, vehicle systems integration and design, and Options courses that allow students to individualize their education."
