The Bachelor of Science degree in Aerospace Engineering focuses on the application of engineering principles to the design, manufacturing and functionality of aerospace vehicles such as aircraft, missiles and spacecraft, to include autonomous and semi-autonomous unmanned aerial systems. Students will gain an in-depth knowledge of aerodynamics, aerospace materials, structures, propulsion, flight mechanics and stability and control while being briefly exposed to orbital mechanics, control, space structures and rocket propulsion.

Graduates of the program will be able to: Apply knowledge of mathematics, science and engineering. Design and conduct experiments, and analyze and interpret data. Design a system, component or process to meet desired needs within realistic constraints such as economic, environmental, social, political, ethical, health and safety, manufacturability and sustainability. Function on multidisciplinary teams. Identify, formulate and solve engineering problems. Understand professional and ethical responsibility. Communicate effectively, via both written and verbal means. Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and societal context. Recognize the need for, and able to engage in life-long learning. Be aware of contemporary issues in the aerospace industry. Use the techniques, skills and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
