Bachelor of Science in Aerospace Engineering (BSAE)
The BSAE curriculum is based on a strong core of mathematics, science, and engineering science and is designed to prepare students for professional careers in aerospace engineering fields, such as aircraft and space systems research, design, development, testing, and integration. It also provides excellent preparation for graduate study.
Modern laboratories, both physical and computational, support experimental work in aerodynamics, flight mechanics, dynamics, stability & control, aerospace structures, space systems engineering, aircraft design, and spacecraft design.
Opportunities exist annually to participate in national design-build-fly competitions
(aircraft) under the guidance of industry experts as well as design-build-launch projects
(spacecraft) under the guidance of NASA engineers. Students may join the student chapter
of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), the national professional
society for the advancement of aerospace technology. Top students in the AE Program
are invited to join our local chapter of Sigma Gamma Tau, the aerospace engineering
honor society. 
The Aerospace Engineering Bachelor of Science degree program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Program Criteria and the Aerospace and Similarly Named Engineering Programs Program Criteria.
