Program Outline

Outline:

• All engineering students have a similar first-year plan of study, the college core, that provides fundamental courses in math, science, and engineering.
• Students in aerospace engineering take major classes in flight vehicle dynamics, structure and control, and heat transfer and various design courses.

Teaching:

• Engineering Honors: The Fundamentals of Engineering for Honors (FEH) Program is available to University Honors-designated engineering students.
This accelerated program provides a strong foundation in engineering principles.
• Engineering Scholars: Students can join programs like Engineering Scholars, which focuses on socially responsible practices in engineering, or Humanitarian Engineering Scholars, which addresses engineering challenges in underserved areas.
• Research: Students have opportunities to conduct research with faculty from across the university, including doctors, physicists, designers, and artists.
They can present their work at the annual Denman Undergraduate Research Forum. Research topics include: >- aerodynamic flow control and diagnostics >- unmanned aircraft systems >- helicopter dynamic stall >- heat transfer and aerodynamics >- aeromechanics
• Many graduates use Engineering Career Services to find their first job.
• Beginning annual salaries for recent aerospace engineering graduates average $61,467.
