Undergraduate Program -- Aerospace Engineering
Aerospace engineering uses the basic sciences and mathematics to develop the foundation for the design, development, production, testing, and applied research associated with aerospace vehicles. These vehicles include aircraft, spacecraft, and missiles. Auxilliary and propulsion systems are also an integral part of this education. These include guidance, control, environmental, ramjet, rocket, turbo-jet, and piston engine systems. Emphasis in the senior year is directed toward these topics, and the program culminates in a major aerospace design project.
The educational objectives of the aerospace engineering program are
- To provide students with a comprehensive education that includes in-depth instruction in aerodynamcis, structures, flight mechanics, orbital mechanics, flight propulsion, and the design of aerospace system.
- To prepare students for professional careers in aerospace engineering by developing the skills pertinent to problem solving, analysis, design, and those personal skills required for teamwork and effective communication.
- To provide opportunities to develop and cultivate life-long learning skills, individual professionalism and ethics.
- To prepare some students for graduate study at major universities limited by student desire and their mental ability and agility.
