Aerospace engineers use scientific principles as well as engineering concepts and practices to design, build, test and operate aerospace, aviation and aeronautical systems and vehicles. They are involved with the design, development and production of vehicles for flight both in and beyond the atmosphere. Aerospace engineers apply their knowledge of aerodynamics, propulsion, structures, dynamics, control and performance to a wide variety of challenges encountered with major aerospace systems

Aerospace engineering graduates pursue careers in research and design, as well as in government and academia. With expertise in aerodynamics, flight dynamics, propulsion, structures and structural dynamics, Auburn aerospace engineers have been closely connected to many of history’s greatest flights and the machines that carried them.
