Program Description
The Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (BSAE) program provides students with a transformative education focusing on technologies and systems significant to the design and development of aerospace vehicles. The program explores not just the design and manufacture of aircraft but of spacecraft as well. Knowledge of aerodynamics, aerostructures and materials, propulsion systems, and flight mechanics and controls are important in completing the course. Related astrophysics courses will also be explored to reinforce the understanding of the students on the earth’s atmosphere and the outer space. Future graduates of this program will be enabled to produce quality designs and undergraduate research output or technical paper relevant to aerospace engineering.
