Master of Science - Aerospace Engineering - Energy/Environmental Systems

Program Description

The MS program in aerospace engineering prepares engineers for doctoral study or industrial positions that specialize in research, project management and product innovation in aerospace engineering. The program stresses a sound foundation in technical fundamentals, communication and professionalism. To this end, a broad-based curriculum is offered in design, system dynamics and control; fluid mechanics and aerodynamics; mechanics and dynamics of solids and structures; transport phenomena; thermodynamics; and energy.

The aerospace engineering Master of Science program offers two culminating experience options: a thesis option and a nonthesis (portfolio) option. All students are admitted to the nonthesis option unless a faculty thesis advisor is secured, at which time the student can initiate a change to the thesis option.
